Risky Business #385 -- Richard Bejtlich talks USA/China espionage agreement
Presented by

Technology Editor
******LANGUAGE WARNING: The f-bomb features, unbleeped, once in this week's show. Just a note for those of you with the kids in the car.
On this week's show we're chatting with FireEye's chief security strategist Richard Bejtlich about this new agreement between China and the USA. The two countries have apparently agreed that they won't hack each other with the aim of stealing IP anymore. Questions to Richard include: Are they kidding? And: How did they announce this with a straight face?
This week's show is brought to you by Tenable Network Security, big thanks to them. And we're joined by Tenable's very own Jeffrey Man in this week's sponsor interview.
He's an ex NSA cryptographer who now spends his days dealing with PCI stuff. He's over in Canada attending the PCI community meetings in Vancouver, and I spoke to him about what we learned from the leaked Target pentest report and how third party payment firms are changing scope for all sorts of merchants.
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.
