Risky Business #273 -- The birth of the online Pinkertons?

C&C-destroying, greyhat, mercenary berserkers could be just around the corner!
15 Mar 2013 » Risky Business

In this week's feature interview we're chatting to industry legend and In-Q-Tel CSO Dan Geer about the idea of offence as defence. If someone's attacking you do you have the moral right to attack them back? Dan actually thinks you do.

This week's show is brought to you by Adobe.

Adobe's head of product security and privacy Brad Arkin pops along to have a bit of a chat about the busy few months they've been having at Adobe dealing with some interesting bugs.
