Risky Business #272 -- Jon Callas talks Silent Circle
Presented by
CEO and Publisher
Technology Editor
On this week's show we chat to PGP Corporation co-founder Jon Callas. Jon's been in the security business for a long time and he's bringing us up to speed on his latest venture, Silent Circle.
This week's show is brought to you by the Australian security consulting and penetration testing firm HackLabs. And we've got a really interesting sponsor interview with HackLabs head honcho Chris Gatford about how many, many organisations simply don't do any foot-printing... and it means they miss so much! Come on people, it's a two-day job!
Adam Boileau, as usual, joins us for this week's news segment.
