Podcast Available from Network Security

Martin McKeay's new Podcast for this week is available.

Both Martin and Rich Mogull, now a permanent fixture in the tag team, get a little wordy (and they know it), but they do make a good team and I enjoy the balance. It might be slightly better for a good co-host to have divergent opinions. These two are in too much agreement. :)

Naturally they did an awesome job responding to my query regarding proving ROI with calculated risk. Excellent points! Thanks guys!

Good review of the news:

The Ameritrade Disclosure, 6 million customers hit with spam, and their opinions as to its disclosure - was it preemptive?

Introducing Security Mike's Guide to Internet Security - a man with the heart of a teacher. Well in line with the mission of this blog, to provide the means for inexpensive security practices.

Rich's FileVault problems - I am nearly a MAC convert - co-workers have long said I should make the plunge. This story is not good news for me. :( But, this may not stop my attempt to go MAC some day.

The Tor madness seems to me the risk you accept when running something that allows others to take advantage of you. You won't find me running a tor server, nor using it. Although Rich's idea of using it to do security research intrigued me for a time. I doubt I ever will. What would someone uncover about me? The fact that I do security research? duh.

Divorce + Technology = bad? Naturally, divorce + anything = bad! I have to go with Dave Ramsey's, friend I forget his name, who says that divorce turns marriage into a 'business transaction,' but I would add the word hostile to 'business transaction.'

I hope the Denver trip works out well for Martin, that isn't but a short drive from here - one I have made a few times. I enjoy Denver every time I go whether it is skiing or a business meeting. I would consider working (skiing) there myself. :)

Production quality on this podcast was the best yet - even far off Rich sounded great.
