Meet Evgeniy and Dmitry the co-host of the Security Architecture Podcast. Our cybersecurity focused podcast will promote the best architectural practices and gather important information from vendors while translating it into a format that can be easily consumed by the podcast audience. It will answer the main questions about a specific product, it's features and ways to use it in different environments. Manifesto Our manifesto based on six basic principles: Solution providers are allowed to share only publicly available information. Our experienced co-host team will be preparing the questions while combining your feedback with our domain knowledge. All the companies will have to address the same questions during the podcast with slight modifications around the same context. The vendors are allowed to show live how their products answer the questions while keeping the answers around 2 - 3 minutes by screen sharing. Companies are not allowed to compare their solutions to their competitors in slides or verbally, we as podcast hosts always will stay neutral and not going to favor one vendor over another. To provide the vendors with equal starting conditions, we will be publishing the podcasts in batches of 5 - 8 vendors at a time.
