There's a lot of money changing hands in the information security world. Unfortunately, a lot of what's being sold is just blinky lights—things that are flashy, but don't actually make anyone's security better. Organizations look for quick fixes and easy buttons out of fear of a breach, despite the fact that it takes legitimate, consistent work and buy-in to make their security better. Evan and Brad break down the money grab in episode 36. Give it a listen and let us know what you think at unsecurity@protonmail.com.
