BEHIND THE SCENES OF CYBERSECURITY & THE IMPACT OF POOR SECURITY DECISIONS

Today Matt Johansen and I sit down to talk about information security and hacking. This episode may be too technical for most listeners, but if you want a behind-the-scenes look at how security professionals debate the state of security, this is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.

Matt and I discuss his backstory, the difference between network and application security, defense versus offense, what impact different tools and technology are having on application security and more. Matt also wanted to discuss a rather contentious keynote presentation I gave where I explained how perverse incentives and bad business acumen in information security are leading to dangerous decision-making. I know this is pretty technical, but I think my audience is smart enough that while many of the details might be a little tricky to understand, the premise behind what we're discussing will still be accessible. And with that, please meet Matt Johansen.
