Nato has called for military and private industry to recruit more ethical
hackers, listing their skills as an essential weapon in its ongoing
anti-black hat war.
Nato deputy assistant secretary general Jamie Shea issued the statement in
video review exploring the ethical hacking community. He said: "In order
to have a defence you need to have a much wider group of people with a
much broader set of skills working for you than as in the old days when we
were talking about the man from the ministry with a set identity. That's
not the case anymore."
A Nato spokesman added in the video that the community is currently an
under-tapped source that could help temporarily plug the global cyber
skills gap.
"Traditionally, ethical hackers, known as white hats, have disclosed
security bugs for free and many continue to do so just for the prestige.
But with industry and governments around the world looking to beef up
their cyber defences, ethical hackers can now have the pick of jobs in a
booming industry."
