Episode #46 - Selling Fear – Why the Cybersecurity Industry Loves the Chaos
Streamed live on Sep 4, 2025

In this episode, Evan Francen and Matt Goodacre are back with Part 5 of the Accountability in Cybersecurity is Broken series: Selling Fear – Why the Cybersecurity Industry Loves the Chaos.

Confusion sells. Simplicity doesn’t. And that’s not an accident—it’s a business model. Too many vendors, “experts,” and even practitioners are getting rich off of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD), while the people they’re supposed to protect are left confused, vulnerable, and broke. Evan and Matt will tear into how snake oil gets sold, why simple fixes get ignored (remember the Senate hearing where nobody would admit a firewall could’ve helped?), and what real accountability looks like.

Of course, it wouldn’t be InfoSec to Insanity without the fun:
  • WTF Happened This Week? – The biggest security stories, with a dose of sanity.
  • CISO Humor – Laugh so you don’t cry.
  • And plenty of candid, no-BS conversation the industry doesn’t want you to hear.
Join us live, bring your questions, and be part of the conversation.
