45-minute live podcast recording that mixes rapid-fire advice, listener Q&A and a game called "What's Worse?" and gives concrete vendor-CISO tactics: stop cold email and ask for LinkedIn introductions, sponsor and present at community conferences, publish a clear demo video and track warm responses, and give new sales reps runway instead of immediate quotas. Specific wins include rolling out application whitelisting (took two–three years at one company and effectively secured Windows endpoints) and using remediation orchestration tools like Vulcan to close vulnerabilities rather than just prioritize them.
