Motherboard retains complete editorial independence.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"31\"><\/p>\n<p>Katie Moussouris likes to hack things. Last year, she was able to hack Clubhouse, a social audio app launched in 2020, and was surprised at both how easy it was.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"29\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been retired from professional hacking since 2007. Why should a hacker that retired that long ago still be able to hack things?\u201d she told Motherboard. \u201cThe shortcomings for the security industry are really that we see the same cyclical bugs coming in over and over again.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span><\/p>\n<div class=\"adph adph--border\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"32.805405405405\"><\/p>\n<p>Moussouris is the founding CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lutasecurity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>Luta Security<\/span><\/a>, a cybersecurity company that helps protect businesses and governments. In the second episode of a new documentary series by Motherboard called \u201cSilicon Ceiling,\u201d we spoke with Moussouris about her career in cybersecurity, her journey in founding Luta Security, and her work advocating for equal pay between genders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"33\"><\/p>\n<p>At a young age, Moussouris became curious about computers and computer systems. She credits her mom, who was a biochemist and a single mother, in cultivating this interest. Her mom bought her her first computer when she was eight years old and gave her the basic programming manual that came with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"35\"><\/p>\n<p>Moussouris began working for Microsoft in 2007 as a security strategist. At Microsoft, she made transformative changes to the company\u2019s cybersecurity. \u201cImmediately, I saw a need to create a vulnerability research program inside of Microsoft,\u201d Moussouris said. \u201cI started Microsoft Security Vulnerability Research back in 2008, progressed to end up creating their bug bounty programs,\u201d which offer rewards to independent researchers who find and report vulnerabilities to the company. Bug bounties are now standard across many tech companies.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"29\"><\/p>\n<p>Despite the impact she made, Moussouris saw her career stalling at Microsoft. She began seeing gender-based discrepancies in the way she was being treated versus her male colleagues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span><\/p>\n<div class=\"adph adph--border\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"32\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw male colleagues getting promoted for things that were way less significant than what I had contributed to the company and to the industry,\u201d Moussouris said. \u201cWhat was ironic was my bosses were putting me up for promotion and it was getting shot down for various reasons. When I get feedback, it was super gendered feedback.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"33\"><\/p>\n<p>Moussouris would be told that she was too pushy, and then that she was not pushy enough. In 2015, Moussouris filed a discrimination class-action lawsuit against Microsoft, which claimed that Microsoft hiring practices upheld a practice of sex discrimination against women in technical and engineering roles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"34\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat led to my lawsuit was effectively that I was there for seven years and I was underpaid, under promoted, getting lower bonuses than I should have,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat I wanted was change, that\u2019s why I sued Microsoft. That\u2019s also why I ended up starting the Pay Equity Now Foundation when the class action lawsuit failed.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"25.375\"><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.payequitynowfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>The Pay Equity Now Foundation<\/span><\/a> works to close the gender and racial pay gaps. The first donation the organization made was a $1 million gift to establish a law clinic at Penn State University named after Moussouris\u2019s late mother.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"29\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not set to even see white women achieve pay equity with white men for another fifty years. The pandemic has set that clock way back,\u201d Moussouris said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span><\/p>\n<div class=\"adph adph--border\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"28\"><\/p>\n<p>Moussouris said that founding Luta Security was the only way she could truly be valued for her work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"33\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the time I decided to start Luta Security, I had had a very long career and I\u2019d had a ton of experiences. It wasn\u2019t like suddenly now I\u2019m ready to start a company\u2014I certainly didn\u2019t feel ready,\u201d she said. \u201cI felt like it was my only choice. It was my only choice to be paid what I was worth, it was my only choice to set my own rules.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"31\"><\/p>\n<p>Around 2018, Moussouris started raising venture capital (VC) and went to various VC meetings with her COO, who is a white man. The VCs kept looking to him to answer questions as if he were the founder and CEO.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"33\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the worst one was a guy who listened to our pitch and then just looked at the COO and said I just have one question, why aren\u2019t you the CEO and she the CTO? And when my COO answered again that this is all Katie\u2019s intellectual property and I am not technical, the guy said \u2018doesn\u2019t matter,\u2019\u201d Moussouris said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"35\"><\/p>\n<p>Moussouris is ultimately grateful that she didn\u2019t receive funding from any VCs because she can now pave her own path where she has the control. \u201cIt\u2019s better that none of those VCs invested because then I\u2019d be stuck on their hamster wheel, their schedule, their incentives, their goals,\u201d she said. \u201cInstead, I had to forge my own way and it\u2019s made all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"32\"><\/p>\n<p>She encourages other female founders to follow a similar path: \u201cMy advice for other female founders would be to try and build as much without outside investors as possible. Women entrepreneurs, if you can do it bootstraped, stay bootstraped. Let those VC hounds starve on the bones of the patriarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/span>READ MORE <a
