After tackling some dodgy audio issues, we have released the second episode of the CISO/Security Vendor Relationship podcast with our guest Kip Boyle (@KipBoyle), CEO of Cyber Risk Opportunities. Subscribe to Kip's podcast. As always, the show is hosted by myself, David Spark (@dspark), Founder, Spark Media Solutions and Mike Johnson, CISO, Lyft. In this episode, "Security Vendors Buy Their First Pack of Condoms":

• 10-second security tip.
• Amazon Alexa hacked or just a failure of the technology?
• Does rebooting your router help or is it just security theater?
• Will automation replace entry-level SOC jobs and if so, how do we bring in new security talent?
• How security vendors helped me this week.
• Security vendors padding their pitches.
• Mitigating new risks or getting back to security basics?
