Risky Business #307 -- So, what about that Bromium stuff?

A chat with Bromium co-founder and CTO Simon Crosby...
06 Dec 2013 » Risky Business

On this week's show we speak to Bromium co-founder and CTO Simon Crosby all about its tech. We don't normally interview vendors about their technology in the feature slots, but Bromium is very interesting stuff. It's all about hardware-enabled task isolation with Xen-based micro VMs. The way they've implemented this makes it quite difficult for an attacker to gain persistence on a target machine. Simon is a very technical guy, it's a great interview and it's after the news.

This week's show is brought to you by Tenable Network Security, makers of fine, fine, vulnerability scanning tools like Nessus. And in this week's sponsor interview we chat with Tenable's chief architect for the Asia Pacific region Dick Bussiere. Dick is based in Singapore, and surprisingly enough the infosec agenda there isn't being set by the Snowden leaks. So what's driving the infosec narrative in .sg? Dick joins the show with his view.
