ABSTRACT
Join us for a special live recording of The Three Buddy Problem, the cybersecurity podcast where three industry veterans tackle the complex, the controversial, and the downright weird corners of infosec. This on-stage session will blend sharp insights, unfiltered takes, and a healthy dose of humor as the hosts dig into current threats, hacker culture, and what’s next for the security world.
In this interactive format, audience participation is not only welcome—it is part of the show.
