"As a hacker working for the National Security Agency, Oren Falkowitz learned how to use a seemingly innocuous email to trick a user into giving up control of their digital lives.
Now he’s responsible for protecting presidential campaigns from falling victim to the same kind of attacks.
Falkowitz is the CEO and co-founder of Area 1 Security, a cybersecurity firm that protects dozens of businesses, nonprofits and political campaigns from phishing attempts. Four years after Russian operatives hacked thousands of emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, cybersecurity is a bigger issue than ever for White House hopefuls — and Area 1’s headquarters, in an incongruously historic Queen Anne house in Redwood City, is on the front lines."
