Ron Porat has an odd business card, a metal rectangle made up of tools to pick locks, take the money and run.
“Yes, I can do that, but if I wanted to steal, I wouldn’t be talking about it with you,” says Porat, the CEO of Hacktics, an Israeli firm doing applications security and software and infrastructure testing, with unconventional thinking that matches his gold hoop earring.
