In this EP: the talent shortage in tech & info sec, security readiness, and more on this week's episode

Dear Friends,

Welcome to episode 30 in a collector's series.

Topic one: Talent Shortage

Friend of the Show Bob Rudis, a.k.a. @hrbrmstr, posed the following question on Twitter a while back: "Is there a talent shortage for X, where X is some bubble or hot profession?" He posited that there's no talent shortage in InfoSec, IT, cloud, & Internet of Things. Ed, what do you think? Is Bob right?

Topic two:

Dark Reading posted a thought provoking article about Boards of Directors and how they may think the company's security posture is better than the reality.
