This episode sponsored by Proofpoint.On this week’s show Patrick and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s security news, including:
- FireEye’s Very Bad Week
- Russian bears all up in your VMwares
- Chris Krebs sues Trump campaign
- Foxconn ransomware
- So much more
Proofpoint’s Ryan Kalember is this week’s sponsor guest. He joins the show to talk about their rather different approach to DLP and insider threat detection. You may have noticed we don’t really talk about DLP a whole bunch on this show because it’s, well, really boring. But Proofpoint actually has an interesting approach to the problem that’s different enough to be interesting, so do stick around for that.
Links to everything that we discussed are below and you can follow Patrick or Adam on Twitter if that’s your thing.
