On this week's show Adam and I establish that it's actually quite possible the disaster unfolding at Sony Pictures is, in fact, a North Korean government plot. I know, I know, there are sceptics, but any way you slice or dice it, it actually looks plausible. Tune in to find out why.
In this week's feature interview we chat with Dan Guido, CEO of Trail of Bits, about his company's approach to DARPA's Cyber Grand Challenge. It's an initiative that will see automated attack and defence rigs do battle at DEF CON in Las Vegas in 2016. It's a fascinating idea that involves a lot of cutting edge research. Don't miss that interview.
In this week's sponsor interview Matt Alderman of Tenable joins us to talk about what tech is going to be hot in 2015. Will a clear definition of threat intelligence (besides herpa derp) emerge in 2015? What about the skills shortage? Will that put even more impetus behind the push to security automation?
