The Circle of Failure: Why the Cyber Security Industry Doesn’t Work

Richard Hollis, Director of Rick Crew, is serious about asking the tough questions. ISACA’s Jon Brandt welcomes him to the ISACA podcast to have a conversation that challenges the status quo: Does the Cyber Security Industry work? After decades of experience in the security industry, Richard asks, “have I affected any change?” Richard points out that if we buy a toaster at the store and it doesn’t work, we return it, but as security professionals, we don’t hold products to the same standards. Why is this? Jon and Richard go back and forth on FUD, vendors, false positives, and where accountability lies in the industry. Join Richard and Jon in the conversation to think about how we can affect the positive change that we want to see in our industry in the future!
