The Benefits of Ethical Hacking with Erica Burgess
What is ethical hacking and how can it help government agencies? We dive into that question with Erica Burgess, Technical Lead on Tyler Cybersecurity's Assurance team. Erica brings us a wealth of knowledge as a former software engineer and someone well entrenched in the cybersecurity space since high school.
We define ethical hacking and discuss ways agencies can benefit from it in episode 65 of the Tyler Tech Podcast. You may be surprised by the simple ways we can all be more diligent when it comes to cybersecurity.
