On today’s show, we take several of the larger security myths that are often heard around things like patching vulnerabilities — specifically the notion that more patches indicate less secure software. We also talk about other “common knowledge”-esque bits of advice we’ve all often come across. We could do a whole episode on silver bullets that (spoiler alert) wasn’t. Let us know some of your favorite silver flashes on Twitter or drop us an email.
