CISO/Security Vendor Relationship PodcastAfter tackling some dodgy audio issues, we have released the second episode of the CISO/Security Vendor Relationship podcast with our guest Kip Boyle (@KipBoyle), CEO of Cyber Risk Opportunities.

In this episode, “Security Vendors Buy Their First Pack of Condoms”:

  • 10-second security tip.
  • Amazon Alexa hacked or just a failure of the technology?
  • Does rebooting your router help or is it just security theater?

  • How security vendors helped me this week.
  • Security vendors padding their pitches.
  • Mitigating new risks or getting back to security basics?
