Summary:
This commentary suggests convicted hackers like Kevin Mitnick, and even those who have escaped prosecution, can teach enterprises valuable lessons about security. In particular, Mitnick pointed out at last week's RSA Conference how difficult it is for companies to defend against social engineering because most people give others the benefit of the doubt and naturally want to help. People, essentially, become a company's weakest link.
