CHAT WITH A
WHITE HAT
Weekly live conversations with penetration testers, red teamers, bug bounty hunters, vulnerability researchers, and cybersecurity professionals about their journey, their craft, and the future of security.
Real stories from the people breaking and defending the internet
Every week, Michel Chamberland sits down with a cybersecurity professional to dig into the moments that shaped their career — from their first encounter with a computer to the coolest hack they ever pulled off.
Every guest answers the same core questions, giving you a unique window into how different people approach the same craft. Whether you're a seasoned red teamer, a bug bounty hunter, a vulnerability analyst, or just getting started, there's something here for you.
Michel brings decades of offensive cybersecurity experience from leadership roles at IBM X-Force Red and Trustwave SpiderLabs. He founded IntegSec to deliver next-level penetration testing, threat simulation, and cyber risk reduction for organizations of all sizes.
On Chat with a Whitehat, Michel brings the same curiosity that drives his work — asking the questions that uncover the real stories behind the hacks.
