Risky Business #259 -- MSDfail, Brett Moore and moooore!
Presented by
CEO and Publisher
Technology Editor
This week's show is being produced entirely on the ground at the Ruxcon Breakpoint security conference in my old home town of Melbourne Australia! And it's a shorter show than usual because I'm pretty busy down here producing a bunch of podcasts as a part of some joint coverage I'm doing for both Risky.Biz and The Register. If you want to check out some audio and blog posts from Breakpoint, head to http://risky.biz/breakpoint. They're not up yet, but you'll soon find some interviews with people like Barnaby Jack and Joshua Drake (jduck) there\u2026 or you can subscribe to the RB2 podcast feed at http://risky.biz/feeds if you want that content automagically.
In this week's sponsor interview we're chatting with Insomnia Security founder Brett Moore. Thanks to Insomnia security for all its support of this podcast. If you're a CSO in New Zealand and you've never had a pen test from these guys you're doing it wrong.
It's a company founded by Brett Moore and staffed by the likes of our regular news co-host Adam Boileau and his sometime fill in Mark Piper, as well as a few other guys. Brett joins us to recap Breakpoint and tell us what he thinks of the epic MSDfail in NZ. Why do organisations commission expert advice if they're just going to ignore it?
