Technology Editor
On this week’s show Patrick and Adam discuss the week’s security news, including:
- Microsoft reassures* us that they take security very seriously*
- Cisco ASA firewalls get sneakily backdoored, but no one’s quite sure how
- Change Healthcare was 1FA Citrix all along
- The FTC, FCC and other government sticks get waved at tech
- Lizard Squad Finn who hacked the Vastaamo therapy chain gets sentenced
- And much, much more.
This week’s sponsor is Zero Networks, who make a network micro-segmentation product that is actually usable. Zero Networks CEO Benny Lakunishok joins us to talk through why firewalling everything everywhere is finally workable.
* You’ll forgive us for being… a tad sceptical.
