Over the years a lot has been written about hackers and their motivations, but what about the people responsible for defending private and public enterprises? The Defenders is the first film made that shifts the focus away from the hacker to the security professionals who protect us 24/7 — it reveals the curiosity and discipline behind their critical and noble work.
The Defenders is a behind-the-scenes look at four famous cyber-attacks and the incredible people tasked with keeping our institutions safe from ever-evolving cyber threats.
