The ensuing are what most humans would call “great experiences”: eating gelato on a hot summer’s day, riding a tandem bike with Anthony Hopkins, or, in relation to Sony executive Tim Schaaff, having your life’s work nearly destroyed by a band of hackers . Because for Schaaff, president of Sony Network Entertainment, this spring’s persistent PSN outage wasn’t such a lot devastating because it was… enlightening. Here’s how he described the hack (and ensuing epiphany) to VentureBeat‘s Dylan Tweney:
“i believe for folk running network businesses, it isn’t very nearly improving your security, because I’ve never talked to a safety expert who said, ‘As long you do here three things you may be fine, because hackers won’t get you… the question is how do you build your life so you can manage those things. It has been an exceptional experience.”
Phenomenal because it must’ve felt to get in contact together with his inner defeatist, Schaaff admitted that he “wouldn’t love to do it again” — probably because his mouth can only house one foot at a time.
