In this week's show we're chatting with Matt Solnik of Accuvant Labs about his stellar presentation at Breakpoint last week. In this interview he describes how he can leverage crappy carrier management client software into full remote compromise attacks against most smartphones, including fully patched iOS8 and Android. It's savage stuff and if you work in telcoland you'd be nuts to miss it.
This week's show is brought to you by tenable network security. Tenable's very own Marcus Ranum will be along in this week's sponsor interview to chime in on desktop virtualisation trends, as well as cloud, remote desktop, the browser as a terminal and enterprise computing in general. The mainframe is dead. Long live the mainframe. It's a great chat.
