On this week's show we're chatting with David Wells. He's ex GCHQ and ASD but these days he's a counterterrorism boffin with the Lowy Institute. He's joining us to discuss the IS document leak. Depending on which story you read its either the death of the organisation or it won't do anything at all to disrupt it. We get David's thoughts on what this leak will actually for the so-called Caliphate.
In this week's sponsor interview we're doing something a bit different.. following on from last week's interview with Re/Code's Arik Hesseldahl we're chatting with Tenable's CFO, Steve Vintz.
And you know what? It's really interesting getting his perspectives on what's happening in the BUSINESS of security -- the type of analysis a guy like Steve does is different from how security people do it, and he's got some really interesting perspectives on what 2016 could bring. Long story short? Expect consolidation among smaller vendors as CSOs look to trim the number of vendors in their supply chain.
Adam Boileau, as always, will also pop in to discuss the week's news headlines.
Oh, and do add Patrick and Adam on Twitter if that's your thing.
