Next time you're annoyed by a security vendor's pitch, instead of firing back at them at what an idiot they are, or complaining about it on social media, why not see if you can find a friendly manager at the vendor company and explain what happened so they can actually address the problem appropriately?

This week’s episode is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series and Mike Johnson. Our guest is Rob Suarez, CISO, BD.

In this episode:

• Where could we possibly draw the line of what can be known to the public, but at the same time not offering insight to the attackers?

• How do you use industry-specific threat information to make better security decisions?
