I Am The Cavalry member Beau Woods delivered a presentation on “Hacker Volunteerism” during the CTI League Hackathon. The talk highlighted the Cavalry’s mission to address the security of connected technology that impacts human life, public safety, and national security.
“I always kind of thought somebody was working on the problem. Somebody was making sure that it was going to go away. That somebody was out there making sure we didn’t accidentally innervate ourselves off a cliff,” said Woods. “But the reality is that the cavalry isn’t coming. And so that responsibility falls to us.”
“When you look around at a group of hackers, security researchers at a security conference and realize that we’re the adults in the room — that’s pretty scary. But it’s also empowering. It’s empowering to know that is what you can do.”
