On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss recent security news, including:
- US President Joe Biden says next shooting war will result from cyber incident
- The Sun tabloid reports UK government weighing “cyber strike” against Iran
- Australia, UK and USA release list of most commonly used CVEs
- NSA drops Kubernetes security guide
- Much, much more!
This week’s show is brought to you by Cmd Security. It makes what can best be described as a security agent for Linux. It can handle everything from user action restriction to IDR functionality, and Cmd’s co-founder Jake King will be along in this week’s sponsor slot to talk about what he’s seeing out there in Linux land. Jake says there’s a big cloud modernisation push happening right now as people re-architect their “legacy cloud” infrastructure into more modern setups.
Links to everything that we discussed are below and you can follow Patrick or Adam on Twitter if that’s your thing.
