Cisco recently released the 2010 Midyear Security Report and I caught up with one of the principal authors, Mary Landesman, Senior Security Researcher at Cisco.  Read More →

Zach couldn’t make it tonight, but Rich and Martin open the show with a call to our listeners for more email questions and topic suggestions. After answering a listener question last week, we realized it would be nice to engage with all of you a little bit more. But not too much… I mean we don’t want to touch you or anything. We also spend a little time talking about how we handle our connectivity and security while at Black... 

Rich and Zach are still sweltering in their perspective heat waves, but Martin managed to nab an interview with Bob Russo, the head of the PCI Security Standards Council. We also cover a couple of stories and some honest to goodness listener mail! Network Security Podcast, Episode 205, July 13, 2010 Time:  Read More →

Once again we have a wandering host; Rich has wandered off into the hinterlands of Denver (Boulder, I think) and is too busy to call in for the podcast.  Read More →

I got to talk to a number of very interesting people while work with the FIRST conference.  Read More →

We went long tonight, really long.  Read More →

We have an interview with Akamai CSO Andy Ellis this week, so we cut our coverage of the news a little short. Which is okay, since Zach was dialed in from Denver and Rich managed to catch some sort of virus (turns out macs may not get them, but Mac users sure do).  Read More →

This episode is brought to you by the letter “P”. We start with a couple of articles about privacy (yes, mostly about Facebook), with a short segue on random security news, before closing with multiple articles on PCI.  Read More →

Last week I had a chance to talk to Phil Reitinger, the Deputy Undersecretary for the National Protection and Programs Directorate as well as the Director of the National Cybersecurity Center.  Read More →

Rich and Martin had to do without Rich this week, since he’s on the road doing speaker type things and (hopefully) getting paid for it.  Read More →

Hopefully the world hasn’t been smashed by an asteroid since Sunday, since that’s when we recorded this show. Martin is off with a client, and Rich and Zach are cramming for Source Boston. Well, Rich is probably half in the bag right now since it’s his birthday, but if he isn’t too hung over he’ll be headed to Boston in the morning. Network Security Podcast, Episode 194, April 20, 2010 Time: 34:40 Show Notes Family:... 

In spite of being frustrated, exhausted, and just plain beat, Martin, Rich, and Zach pulled together again (noticing a trend? Maybe we all need more sleep). In an unusual change of flow, we kicked off tonight’s show with one of our main discussion topics, rather than just covering the news. In this episode, we’re joined by Nick Selby of Trident Risk Management to chat about fraud in small financial institutions and stats on spending... 

Martin, Rich, and Zach talk with special guest Katie Moussouris , Senior Security Strategist at the Microsoft Security Response Center . Katie has been doing some work on ISO work item 29147 (“Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure”) and shares with us her experiences in this process, as well as her thoughts on software security improvement. Oh, and Rich gawks about some new gadget which shan’t be named.  Read More →
