This episode sponsored by Fastly.We’re going to stick with the revised format this week – we’re going long on news with Adam, then diving right in to the sponsor interview with Zane Lackey of Signal Sciences.
A bunch of you heard my long form, Soap Box interview with Zane from a few weeks back. We’re extending that interview out a bit in this week’s interview. Zane will be outlining what he thinks needs to change in DevSecOps tooling and workflow for things to really work nicely – it’s just a solid 12 minutes of good thinking and advice, that interview, so do stick around for it.
Adam Boileau will join the show to recap the week’s news:
- Australia and Japan to ban Huawei from their 5G builds
- Struts bug: Big deal or meh?
- Voting machine maker ES&S rebuked by researchers AND US gov
- The DNC phish that wasn’t
- Recapping Andy Greenberg’s Maersk/Notpetya coverage
- Instagram adds real 2FA

- T-Mobile pwned harder than it initially admitted

- Much, much more
Links to everything that we discussed are below, including the discussions that were edited out. (That’s why there are extras.) You can follow Patrick or Adam on Twitter if that’s your thing.
