You are the CEO of a three-year-old software manufacturer
that has several products and annual revenues
in excess of 500 million dollars.
You've just received a recommendation from the manager of software
development to hire three notorious crackers to
probe your software products in an attempt to
identify any vulnerabilities.
The reasoning is that if anyone can find a vulnerability
in your software, they can.
This will give your firm a head start on
developing parches to fix the problems before anyone can exploit them.
You're not sure, and feel uneasy about hiring
people with criminal records and connections to
unsavory members of the hacker/cracker community.
What would you do?

ANSWER:
*If I were in that situation as a CEO, hackers
are not the right persons to solve that problem.
*As a professional and also a CEO. I'll develop
some option to conquer that problem.
*I'll never tolerate criminals to be the ones who
are going to exploit our software.
*We are not sure what they will do after they
finished exploiting.
