We\'re fed up with vendors who think they can detect any breach, but we\'re not fed up with breach detection.

On this week\'s episode:

  • Are millennials excited or not excited about working in security? Supposedly, nine percent of all millennials are interested in a job of security. Is that good news/bad news/misrepresented news? (Read the story)
  • Haroon Meer\'s amazingly open story of the money Thinkst spent at RSA 2018. Was it worth it? Great advice for anyone else sponsoring a big tech conference. (Read the story)
  • Are you sponsoring Black Hat or another big tech conference? Pick up my book, Three Feet from Seven Figures: One-on-One Engagement Techniques to Qualify More Leads at Trade Shows.
  • We talk about breach detection and the use of deception devices.
  • When a breach happens, should you or shouldn\'t you blame the victim?
  • How should security sales managers pump up their team for sales? Is letting people know that they\'re the only ones to fix their customers\' problems the right tactic?
