Risky Business #386 -- Katie Moussouris on the (groan) disclosure debate

The horse is still showing signs of life. Keep flogging...
09 Oct 2015 » Risky Business

On this week's show we're checking in with Katie Moussouris of HackerOne. She's an ex Microsoftie who's spent something like a decade working on vulnerability disclosure policies. She even helped get a vuln disclosure ISO standard ratified!

And she'll be joining us this week to discuss disclosure politics, I guess you'd call it... for those of us who've been around infosec for a while, most of us would rather stick our face in a blender than talk about it, but Katie will be along to point out why people should fight their "disclosure debate fatigue" and get involved.

This week's show is brought to you by Telstra! Telstra is Australia's incumbent telco but also offers a bunch of enterprise services and has invested in some mobile security plays. They took a stake in Zimperium, which is where Risky Business pal Joshua Drake works. They also have a stake in Telesign.

In this week's sponsor interview we're joined by Telstra's Rocky Scopelliti. He's Telstra's finance brain and he'll be along to discuss a report he prepared on the fusion of financial services, mobility and identity. Telstra has collected a lot of *extremely* interesting data and Rocky will be along to fill us in on what it all means. That's this week's sponsor interview, with big thanks to new sponsor Telstra!

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.
