    Episode 005: Discussing Spycraft & Cybercrime with Eric O'Neil

    During this episode, we chat with Eric O'Neil. Eric O'Neil is a cybersecurity expert, legendary FBI operative, attorney, and founder of The Georgetown Group and NeXasure AI, who works with organizations to protect themselves against cybercriminals, whose total thefts constitute the world’s third largest economy. Eric began his career in the FBI as a “ghost” — an undercover field operative tasked to surveil foreign and domestic spies and terrorists. In 2001, he brought down the nation’s first cyberspy: Robert Hanssen, a 25-year veteran of the FBI and a notorious Russian mole. This edge-of-your seat story is featured in the critically-acclaimed movie, Breach, starring Ryan Philippe, Chis Cooper, and Laura Linney, and Eric’s book, Gray Day. During the Hanssen investigation, Eric worked directly undercover with the spy within the FBI’s Information Assurance Division – created to protect all classified FBI intelligence.
