Store bought is fine, sometimes!
Lauren Proehl, Tina Velez, Jason Craig, William Phillips

Join us for this thrilling and dynamic panel as we extend the wisdom of The Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, to the security space. Why spend your precious time in the kitchen of your security program making absolutely everything from scratch, when store bought can be just fine sometimes? We’ll discuss the pros and cons and considerations of build vs buy, in a talk that promises to capture the right balance of cynicism, nuance, and practicality. We know it’s tempting to make our own mayo, but we’ve lived it and have to say - sometimes store bought is just fine. Prepare your well ack-shuallys, we’re ready.
