\u201cHackers are the immune system of the internet.\u201d <\/strong><\/em>– Keren Elazari<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This statement propelled Keren Elazari<\/strong> onto the international stage. Her TED Talk<\/strong> with the same title is one of the most viewed cybersecurity lectures worldwide. Since then, it has become clear that Elazari doesn’t just talk about technology, she tells the stories behind the code \u2013 and in doing so, she highlights why cybersecurity is a question of trust, responsibility, and the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the Tel Aviv underground to the world stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born and raised in Tel Aviv, Keren Elazari was fascinated by the world of computers even as a teenager. She became involved in hacking at an early age \u2013 not as a criminal act, but as a way of understanding systems. \u201cFor me, hacking was never about breaking \u2013 it was about learning,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This view of hackers as curious explorers shaped her path. She studied security research and later became the first Israeli woman to give a keynote speech at the renowned DEF CON hacker conference<\/strong> in Las Vegas. By then, it was clear that Elazari was not only a researcher, but also a bridge builder between the hacker community, the business world, and government institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her credo: \u201cCybersecurity is not only about technology. It is about people, trust, and culture.\u201d<\/em> In doing so, she focuses on issues that go beyond firewalls. How can companies build trust when data has become their most important resource? What role do hackers play \u2013 threat or opportunity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
