Breach Please

by Breach Please Team

Cybersecurity has a nonsense problem. Vendors overpromise, headlines overhype, and half the "experts" in your feed have never actually responded to an incident at 3 a.m. Breach Please is the antidote — cybersecurity news, analysis, and unfiltered commentary from two people who have actually done the work: breaking into networks, defending them, and cleaning up after the breaches everyone else only tweets about. Every episode, Jake Williams and Jess Hebenstreit break down the stories that matter, call out the nonsense that doesn't, and translate the never-ending chaos into something you can actually use — whether you're in the SOC, the boardroom, or somewhere pretending to understand both. No fear-mongering. No vendor scripts. No "synergizing our threat posture." Just two seasoned practitioners, the news that matters, and the takes your CISO wishes they could say out loud. Breach? Please. Pull up a chair.
