Episode #42 - Series Launch: “Accountability in Cybersecurity Is Broken”
Season 1 Episode 42
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
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.
