For those security practitioners who leave a job to go work for a security vendor, please stop calling it "going to the dark side."

This week's episode is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series and Mike Johnson. Our sponsored guest is Jason Mar-Tang, director of sales engineering, Pentera.

Thanks to our podcast sponsor, Pentera

Pentera is the category leader for Automated Security Validation, allowing every organization to test with ease the integrity of all cybersecurity layers including their ransomware readiness, unfolding true, current security exposures at any moment, at any scale.

In this episode:

  • Why do we call security practitioners who leave a job to go work for a security vendor, "going to the dark side?"
  • Do security professionals say this because once they go work for a vendor their motivation shifts from protecting to sales?
  • Over the years what other small steps have we seen that have made improvements in the vendor/practitioner divide?
