Risky Business #361 -- ISIS pwns French TV, Russians pwn White House
Presented by

Technology Editor
We've got a shorter than usual show for you this week. It's actually been a three day week here in Australia because we get Easter Friday and Easter Monday off. So there's no feature interview this week, sorry about that.
But nonetheless we've got a great podcast for you this week. We'll be checking the week's news headlines with Adam Boileau then moving right on into this week's sponsor interview.
This week's show is brought to you by Rapid7, makers of fine, fine information security software. And we're chatting with Rapid7's Wade Woolwine in this week's sponsor interview about how to get the most out of what you have. It can be as simple as rotating some of your smartest people through different areas of your businesses. Make your best pentester deal with the SIEM setup for a month and guess what? You're going to have a much better SIEM setup at the end of it!
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.
