Risky Business #402 -- Why are infosec companies tanking on the NASDAQ?
Presented by
CEO and Publisher
Technology Editor
On this week's show we're chatting with re/code's senior editor and "enterprise dude" Arik Hesseldahl about the business of infosec. Information security related stocks and shares are tanking on indexes all over the world... why? How can this be happening in a $75bn sector that is tipped to grow into a $175bn sector in the next four years?
Arik will join us with the skinny on that. But don't panic, tanking infosec share prices might be a good thing for the discipline. We'll find out why a bit later on.
In this week's sponsor interview we chat with BugCrowd CEO Casey Ellis.
This week Casey joins us to discuss the Pentagon's decision to open up a bounty program.
Adam Boileau, as always, will also pop in to discuss the week's news headlines.
Oh, and do add Patrick and Adam on Twitter if that's your thing.
