Risky Business #249 -- Did the BlueHat prize experiment succeed?

03 Aug 2012 » Risky Business

On this week's show we chat with Microsoft's Katie Moussouris about the company's BlueHat prize. How successful was the prize, and did it get Microsoft value for money in terms of quality entries?

Katie took some time out from her maternity leave to join the show.

This week's show is brought to you by Tenable Network Security.

In this week's sponsor interview with Tenable founder and CEO Ron Gula we get a bit philosophical. Has it become culturally acceptable in the business world to get owned?

If LinkedIn and Sony can have such a bad time, are major incidents therefore seen as routine?
