The guys are all together to talk about the Upbeat and Downbeat infosec stories of 2011 as well as provide prognostications for what is to come in 2012.

Not the normal episode... This time we feature a great interview with Bob Rudis (@hrbrmstr) where we discuss information security and risk analysis....oh, and why French-Vietnamese fusion cuisine might be a good business investment.. |

Episode 63 - We Welcome Our Alien Overlords Well, it was too good to be true, we didn't have the whole crew together, but Martin, Andy, and Joseph hit a couple of topics tonight anyway: First was the continuing story of the virus that has hit the U.S. drone fleet. We also posit the theory that the virus was put there by aliens. Just saying. http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2011/10/exclusive-computer-virus-hits-drone-fleet.ars Then, two articles that we kind of rolled together, discussing first the role of compliance in a company's outside contractors: Then we discussed the article from George Hulme and Eric Cowperthwaite talking about budget and the role of the CSO. http://www.csoonline.com/article/691048/hey-csos-suck-it-up-and-accept-budget-cuts And don't forget, BSidesDFW and BSidesATL are coming up quick! If you're in the area of either, don't forget to sign up! |

Episode 62 - Leaders & Experts This week, for two weeks in a row, the whole gang is back. We hit two articles that provoked a lot of thought amongst us, so without further ado: Security 101: Security in 140 Characters or Less http://isc.sans.edu/diary.html?storyid=11725&rss Are you an IT security leader - really? http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/100311-are-you-an-it-security-251503.htm Join us next week, as we continue to put right what once went wrong, and hope each time that our next leap will be the leap home. |
Tue, 27 September 2011
All four of the boys are together after an unplanned hiatus where Andy was on vacation, Steve went on Covert Ops to Romania, Joseph had to get a restraining order for those pesky girls, and Martin had to deal with the magic smoke leaving most of his podcasting gear. The boys talk about whether SIEM is dead or not (hint: it doesn't want to get on the cart!) and about DigiNotar. See y'all next episode! |
Tue, 6 September 2011
This evening, it was just Martin and Joseph covering some of the big |
Mon, 29 August 2011
The full crew is here tonight as we discuss a little news and have an interesting talk with Josh Corman about his recent talk at DefCon. Full show notes can be found at http://www.southernfriedsecurity.com. |
Tue, 9 August 2011
Martin, Andy, and the Web Lackey get together to talk briefly about BlackHat/DefCon/BsidesLV and the "big news" put out by Mcafee on "Shady RAT". We also share a super interview done with Andy Ellis (@csoandy) on building teams and the hiring process. |
Tue, 26 July 2011
Rich Mogull of Securosis and the Network Security Podcast graciously spoke with Martin a while back. They talked about how security leaders should evaluate and select technologies and had some great ideas on effective vendor management. But before you get to hear that take a listen to Joseph, Steve, and Martin discuss the one item of interest that really picqued their interest... Have fun in Vegas! |
Tue, 28 June 2011
Just Martin and Joseph this evening, as our other hosts are otherwise engaged. Unlike Joseph, who is now married, instead of engaged. Jumping right in, we decided to stick with what we know, and talked about Dark Reading's article on how the recent breaches have led to a recent rash of hirings in the InfoSec field, from the CSO level all the way down to the junior analyst level. And with the recent demise of LulzSec, it's now time to begin an analysis of the effects of the events perpetrated from the LulzBoat. Our good friend Bill Brenner at CSO Online wrote a great article entitled "Whatever, Lulzsec." http://blogs.csoonline.com/1570/whatever_lulzsec We wrapped up with the story that brought the title to this episode, we discussed the differences that Symantec has found between iOS devices and Android equipped phones. http://www.csoonline.com/article/print/685253 That's it for this evening, but we'll see you again next week! |
Wed, 22 June 2011
Martin, Andy, and Steve finally manage to get schedules set and talk. Unfortunately Joseph can't come out to play this week so the old guys have the mike. Quick note and apologies about some of the audio quality - we're working to fix it. |
Mon, 13 June 2011
Join Martin and Steve as they discuss a quite unbelieveable blog post from LogLogic (http://www.loglogic.com/blog/what-does-s-stand), the continuation of "Breach-A-Week", and Martin's recent visit to Vegas for HP Discover 2011. |
Wed, 1 June 2011
Unfortunately Andy and the News Yankee couldn't make it so Martin and Joseph sit back and discuss the upcoming Job Hunting Season that seems to exist for a couple of months on either side of DEFCON/BlackHat and how both job seekers and those wanting to fill seats can have the best success... |
Mon, 9 May 2011
Martin, Andy, and Steve get together to talk about the recent breaches of the Sony Playstation Network. They discuss various aspects of what happened, how Sony has been handling it, and Andy gives a very kind grade to their communications strategy to date. The guys are joined by Rafal Los where we discuss application security, especially around mobile devices, and how some people (meaning Martin) think the return of the GreenScreen GUI might not be a bad thing. |
Mon, 25 April 2011
Steve can't make it tonight so Martin, Andy, and Joseph sit down with James Arlen (@myrcurial) to discuss items of interest... Like the general insanity of the infosec echo chamber when it comes to Amazon EC2 outages, DropBox TOS updates, and Applie iPhone location information... Oh, and we talk about Doing Infosec Right. It's a new project designed to bring good information from people who do defensive security to people who are trying to do defensive security. You can find more at http://www.doinginfosecright.com. |
Tue, 19 April 2011
Join Martin, Steve, and Joseph as they discuss the Verizon Data Breach Incident Report with special guest Josh Corman. |
Thu, 14 April 2011
Just Andy and Joseph this week, but we hit some fairly hefty topics, particularly the breaches that seem to keep springing up every day lately. First, Derek Newton has discovered a very interesting flaw in Dropbox's host authentication. Then, we discussed the breaches of the week: Barracuda, Hartford, and US Airways. And in the "too close to home for comfort" category, we finished up with the Texas Comptroller breach: http://www.statesman.com/ As always, you can find the podcast here: http://sfspodcast.

Martin interviews Larry Ponemon about the "Cost of Compliance" study recently published by the Ponemon Institute.
Andy? He's just hanging out with the infant. |
Thu, 10 March 2011
Once again, we have the whole gang together, as we discuss two groups of stories that fit together nicely. We do have some upcoming cons for the southern oriented of us. First is the upcoming BSidesAustin, held in sunny Austin, TX. It's this weekend (March 11-12), and full details can be found at http://www.keepsecurityweird.org/ A little farther down the road is the second year for HouSecCon. November 3rd, held in Houston, TX. The CFP just went out, and if last year was any indication, this year is gonna rock as well. Full details here: http://houstonseccon.com/ But on to the discussions of the week: The first group of articles talks about the CSO's relationship with the business, particularly in talking about the things that the business should know: http://www.csoonline.com/article/print/670463 But you can't talk about the business without talking about the technology side of things, and Andy's favorite company, the Goog, has given us some good stuff to talk about this week. Android devices have been taking off rapidly, and Wells Fargo has given us some interesting insight into their inner workings by just saying "No." to outside devices: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/030711-wells-fargo-smartphones-tablets.html?page=1 As always, you can find the podcast here: http://sfspodcast.libsyn.com/rss And if you have any feedback, drop us a comment or find us at @SFSPodcast on twitter. |
