In this week's show we chat with Arbor Networks' Roland Dobbins about the Great GitHub DDoS of 2015, Paul Asadoorian of Tenable Network Security about vulnerability management and, of course, Adam Boileau about the week's security news.
Don't forget you can now support the Risky Business page via our Patreon campaign. Oh, and do add Patrick and Adam on Twitter if that's your thing.
