In this episode Mark and Holly are joined by Adam Katzer and the topic is advanced security testing from the defending team's point of view. From tensions at the start of the test up to how the team ensure the findings get fixed properly. Plus a little social engineering with an interesting approach to stealing personal data.

In this episode Holly and Mark discuss Security Testing, from companies claiming there's no point in putting effort into Cybersecurity because nothing is unhackable, to companies taking security personally and making sure their systems are fully locked down. Plus some stories of breaking in and working hard to help companies become secure.

In this episode Holly and Mark discuss cybersecurity recruitment and try to work out why some companies recruitment processes suck so badly. With a little guidance on standing out and a lot of sympathy for candidates trying to break through.

In this episode Holly complains about people who message "Do you have five minutes?" without telling you what it's for - and Mark complains that 50% of meetings is wasted time. This could have been an email.
