Kevin and The Global Ghost Team™ now maintain a 100 percent successful track record of being able to penetrate the security of any system they are paid to hack into using a combination of technical exploits and social engineering. As CEO and chief “white hat” hacker at one of the most advanced boutique security firms in the world, Kevin mentors leaders, executives and staff on both the theory and practice of social engineering, topics in which he is the leading global authority. Kevin’s presentations are akin to technology magic shows which include the latest hacking techniques that educate and inform while keeping people on the edge of their seats. He offers expert commentary on issues related to information security and increases “security awareness”. Kevin is a major viral channel for Cybersecurity, and his thinking goes globally viral instantly. Kevin’s own social media continues to be a powerhouse: For example, his growing 180,000 “real” twitter followers (@kevinmitnick) consists of just about the entire world’s press, security professionals, governments, the key security thought leaders, and a legion of fans from around the globe.
