Beers with Talos Ep. #93: “More Secure” myths and misconceptions
Summary: Beers with Talos episode No. 93, recorded Sept. 11, 2020, takes on security myths, including the notion that more patches indicate less secure software. The episode also covers other pieces of "common knowledge"-style advice the hosts have encountered, with a note that a planned episode on silver bullets did not happen.
What's compelling: The belief that a high patch count signals weak software can push teams away from the very patching that closes known vulnerabilities, so the myth itself becomes the exposure.
