Below excerpt is from the interview of the Man who broke into MacBook within 2 minutes in Pwn2Own contest.
Alan: How much of your work today is focused on securing Macs vs. PC vs. Linux? Who is your typical customer?
Charlie: At work, I mostly look at application-level security. Most of this is really independent of operating system. For example, source code reviews or reverse engineering binaries doesn’t depend much on the operating system. I’ve spent a lot of my research time on Macs because I like them and they also happen to be pretty easy to break!
Most of ISE’s customers are small to medium size companies that care a lot about security and want to make sure their applications are secure. The companies that only want a check box usually go somewhere else because we are pretty good at what we do and consequently charge more than many other consulting firms.
