Question: How did you originally get into the field of Cyber Security?
Chilik: It was a hobby that became a job. I saw the WarGames movie back in the 1980’s and it intrigued me.
Question: Since you focus your research on the Apple iOS platform, what do you see as its main vulnerabilities, and where has it improved or made changes to compensate?
Chilik: Apple is beginning to implement security features that are set to ‘ON’ as the default setting, instead of relying on developers to officially turn them on. The pairing notification message and the protection class encryption are enabled by default. Until iOS 7 they weren’t enabled by default.
Question: What aspect of the field of Cyber Security initially grabbed your attention and made you say “I want to work in that field.”?

Jessie Asks: How did you originally get into the field of Cyber Security?
Erez Answers: I started coding at the age of 12. I was very interested in the subject of gaming and I got frustrated when I had to bypass stages in order to continue. So, I wondered how I could do it and I thus got into hacking and patching. Once I learned more I understood that it was all about coding. In order to do it properly I needed to be a developer, so I started learning Computer Science.
