Description

Get ready—this isn’t your typical cybersecurity rant:

In Part 1: Is It Really Broken?, Evan lays down the truth: accountability in cybersecurity is broken badly and has been for a long time. We’ve confused responsibility (doing the work) with accountability (owning the fallout when it fails)—and that’s where the mess starts.

In this episode, Evan and Matt unpack:
  • Why responsibility ≠ accountability—and why that matters
  • How CISOs, Boards, and CEOs all dodge the blame, even when security implodes
  • The “Dark Triad” of forces keeping security failures in motion: the overt attackers, the chaos‑profit sellers, and the abdicator decision‑makers
  • Who actually pays the price when the system breaks—and how to start calling that out
Expect raw truth, real talk, and a plan to flip the script on the bullshit status quo.

Whether you’re a security nerd, a board member, or someone sick of watching breaches happen while no one gets held to account—this is the conversation you need to hear. Join us live or binge-watch afterward. Hell, challenge us in the chat. Let’s start fixing the broken industry—one episode at a time.
