This week's show is one for the CSOs! It's the economics edition, I guess you'd call it. We'll be chatting with Professor Lawrence Gordon, co-creator of the Gordon Loeb model for Cyber Security investment. We speak to him about contemporary infosec budgets and how spending of $500m a year by some financial institutions in the USA is actually sensible.
We're sticking with the economics theme in this week's feature interview. We'll be chatting with Jonahan Cran, VP of operations for BugCrowd about their recently released Defensive Vulnerability Pricing Model. They've also released their Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy. Both of these documents are really, really interesting, so stay tuned for this week's sponsor interview to hear all about them!
Adam Boileau joins us, as always, to discuss the week's security news.
Oh, and do add Patrick and Adam on Twitter if that's your thing.
