Everything is a data security problem now

CISOs are less confident in their data protection than ever and that number is still falling. Samuel and Landen unpack new research showing confidence has dropped from 48% in 2022 to just 26% today, then connect it to the Medtronic breach, where Shiny Hunters walked away with millions of sensitive records through a chain of identity, SaaS and infrastructure failures.

The through-line: cybersecurity isn't a collection of siloed disciplines anymore. It's one massive problem with a common answer: Secure your data.

Then Samuel and Landen get into it on conference speaking panels. Vendor stages, suit jackets at RSA, and the practitioners nobody's putting in front of a crowd. They don't entirely agree, which is the point.

Plus: a three-year-old takes first place in Pee Wee Beginners desert racing, and a five-year-old hides behind his coach to juke an entire flag football field.
