Risky Business #391 -- Dell fails hard
Presented by
CEO and Publisher
Technology Editor
On this week's show we're chatting with Darren Kemp of Duo Security. He's one of the authors of a post about the latest example of computer manufacturer shitware introducing catastrophic vulnerabilities into shipped systems. This time it's Dell's turn.
If you haven't heard what they actually did you'll hardly even believe it. That's this week's feature interview.
This week's sponsor guest is Tenable's very own Brian "Jericho" Martin. He's a guy who knows a thing or two about vulnerabilities and the software supply chain. We dodged a bullet with those libpng vulnerabilities of a few weeks ago not really being exploitable. But what if they were? How do you prepare your organisation for some serious bugs dropping in libraries when you're not even sure if you're using that code?
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.
