Risky Business #408 -- Advertising ecosystem security with Dan Kaminsky, news with Grugq
Presented by
CEO and Publisher
Technology Editor
On this week's show, as promised, we'll be checking in with Dan Kaminsky of WhiteOps to discuss their bread and butter -- click fraud prevention. We also get his thoughts on what the ad industry could do to stamp out malvertising. As you'll hear, he thinks the only way forward is to actually fix browsers. Seems sensible to us!
Adam Boileau is taking a well-deserved week off, so The Grugq pops in to fill in. We'll chat to him about all the infosec news of the last week.
Oh, and do add Patrick and Grugq on Twitter if that's your thing.
