Our "Hope It Doesn't Happen to Me" Security Strategy

Mike Johnson and I welcome sponsored guest Steve Giguere, director of solution architecture and community, StackRox, to discuss:

  • Whether "security theater" is a security placebo

  • Whether companies should treat a zero-day vulnerability as an incident

  • What we need to hear more of regarding Kubernetes security

  • Making the argument for and against cloud first being a valid security strategy

.
