October is National Cybersecurity Awareness month, but for hackers, every day is spent staying aware of new cybersecurity threats. We were excited to sit down with Matias Brutti, Okta’s senior manager of research and exploitation, whose team spends time hacking to keep Okta’s customers safe from any potential vulnerabilities.

Matt Raible, a developer advocate at Okta, helps developers create secure, seamless customer experiences by building apps, writing new code, authoring countless blog posts (and even a few books!), and sharing his experiences onstage at meetups, user groups, and conferences across the country. Probably not what you’d expect from someone who grew up…
