On this segment, we're going to zoom all the way out to discuss one of my favorite topics: what's fundamentally wrong with this industry? I believe we're at an inflection point: security teams have budget, staff, and more sway at the board level than ever.

Three years after we last discussed this book on episode #221, Jarrett Rodrick returns, joined by co-author Tyler Wall to discuss an update of the book. We talk opportunities and layoffs.
