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