In this episode of The Tefo Mohapi Show, we are joined by Troy Hunt, an Australian Microsoft Regional Director and Microsoft valuable Professional for Developer security. Troy is also the founder of Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), a free service that aggregates data breaches and helps people establish if they've been impacted by malicious activity on the web. In this podcast, Troy also discusses how data breaches can be prevented and highlights that 99% of the time data breaches are results of human error, and if we acknowledge that, then data breaches can be prevented. Beyond this, Troy also talks about working for Pfizer, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporation for fourteen years, his love for craft beer, traveling and speaking around the world, working from home, and about his book.
