Working with you to stay ahead of the cybercriminals

Cybercrime is big news - and big business. As cyber attacks become even more sophisticated, it's vital to stay ahead of the criminals. Nobody wants to be the next organisation making headlines for the wrong reasons.

Konstantinos Karagiannis, CTO and blockchain hacker

A familiar face at security and hacking conferences, Konstantinos is the only person at BT who can hack bitcoin. “We like to simulate the exact attacks that the real bad guys out in the wild are doing," Konstantinos tells us. “Hacking is a constant learning experience.” And we use this knowledge to protect you.
