Beers with Talos ep. #91: Get the FUD out
Summary: A Beers with Talos podcast episode recorded Aug. 14, 2020, hosted by Mitch Neff, addresses FUD - fear, uncertainty and doubt - in the security community, with guest Meredith Corley, Talos' security communications and PR director and previously of Cisco Duo and BlackHat. The episode covers spotting, defusing and refuting FUD, and argues that producers of it damage themselves as well as the organizations that buy their hype.
What's compelling: Security leaders make purchasing and prioritization decisions on vendor claims, and this episode's premise is that some of those claims are manufactured fear rather than fact - which means the cost of FUD lands on the buyers who act on it.
