We're joined today by Wade Baker, co-founder of Cyentia Institute (@wadebaker) and Wolfgang Goerlich (@jwgoerlich), Advisory CISO at Cisco, for a fun discussion on security outcomes.

Wade and Wolf dissect the results from Cisco's 2021 Security Outcomes Study, which seeks to answer the ultimate question, "What actually works in cybersecurity?" using random sampling and statistical analysis.

Together, we discuss how can we efficiently and effectively manage our cybersecurity risk, how is it that even the largest companies with the biggest security budgets still struggle to achieve certain outcomes, and with all the various options out there for achieving a successful cybersecurity program, which ones should practitioners focus on? New technology? More training? Better incident response procedures? Listen to find out!
