On this week's show we take a look at what the hell it happening in Germany, where FireEye sought and obtained an ex parte injunction against a bunch of security researchers over a presentation they were about to do at 44Con. We speak with infosec lawyer Alex Urbelis -- he was at 44Con when all this came to light and he shares his insights.
This week's show is sponsored by Senetas. They're a publicly listed company based in Melbourne that makes hardware encryption gear. Terribly sexy, layer 2 stuff actually. This week the company's co-founder and CTO Julian Fay joins the show to talk about the NSA's recent push to get people using encryption algorithms that are resistant to quantum computing-based attacks.
Adam Boileau, as always, stops in to discuss the week's 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.
