The Security Shit Show
by The InfoSec Mission
Information security is mostly a shit show, so we made the Security Shit Show. This is the place where shit gets real. No filter. Straight talk about shit that ain’t right in the information security industry (or life in general). Three industry experts share their daily experiences and pick a topic to discuss each week. The Security Shit Show is LIVE on Thursday nights and the fans are ENCOURAGED to participate. If it’s not fun, it’s definitely good therapy! This is not a commercial podcast, meaning we won't be hocking product or taking sponsors. We suppose this could change sometime in the future, but probably not.
