10 Inconvenient Truths Of Security

A truly great podcast I just ran across is the 10 "Inconvenient Truths" of Security by Brian Kenyon (of Foundstone fame, now with McAfee). It's just under 18 minutes which makes it perfect for your next TreadClimber routine. But just in case you don't have that kind of time, here's a summary of his top 10 (with index times, if you find one that you really want to hear):

00:00#10Silver Bullets are only good for beer commercials
00:44#9Hug your auditor today
02:03#8Credit card processing compliance
03:55#7When disaster strikes, who is there?
06:16#6Outsource what isn't strategic
07:21#5Public WiFi hotspots
08:48#4Web applications
09:59#3User is the weakest link
12:35#2Omnipotence / Omnipresence
14:28#1There is going to be a breach

HA! I used to work with Kenyon... he used to smile and dress in shorts when he was at Foundstone. Now the McAfee corporate photo has him in a suit (!!!) and all serious. What happened??

I think he deserves a check mark on the big board.
