Epsidode 31 boils the blood of Evan and Brad a little bit. The topic of discussion stems around a recent meeting Evan sat in on where the salespeople pushed a solution before even getting a real understanding of what the problem actually was. Join the guys for a discussion on "sales vs. solutions," and let us know what you think at unsecurity@protonmail.com.

Incident response has become one of the most pertinent conversation pieces in the information security world. Many organizations are starting to realize that it's important to be prepared for what to do when a breach occurs— because we can't prevent all incidents from happening. Episode 30 centers around this.

In the spirit of Memorial Day and remembrance, Evan and Brad decided to do something a bit different for episode 29. The guys share audio of L0pht Heavy Industries testifying before the United States Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs (live feed from CSPAN) on May 19, 1998. You'll notice that a lot of the issues discussed in the trial still translate today, despite it being over 20 years ago. Give it a listen, and let us know what you think at unsecurity@protonmail.com

Evan's been gone a lot lately. Back in the office for episode 28, him and Brad take a look back at some of the recent presentations and conferences the two have made appearances and presented at. After, they break down some of the recent information security news stories like Microsoft updates, WannaCry, Cyptography, and more.

Epsidode 27 is packed with meaningful discussion around how we can do a better job of teaching our children the importance of information security and internet safety starting at a young age. To do so, Brad and Evan are joined by Ryan Cloutier— a decorated security architect and security education advocate. Check out episode 27 and give us feedback at unsecurity@protonmail.com.

Evan recently wrote an article detailing why he thinks there is a lot of ego an arrogance among people who work in the information security industry. This topic has drawn some interesting conversations and debate on social media since it's been posted, so Evan and Brad made this their primary focus for Episode 26's discussion. They also chat a bit about Evan's recent 'normal people" research, and break down the latest infosec news as always. Give it a listen and let us know what you think at unsecurity@protonmail.com.

Evan and Brad are back with episode 25 of the UNSECURITY podcast. This week, they're joined by special guest, Christophe Foulon, a senior cyber risk management consultant for ConQuest Federal.
