Today’s show is Michael interviewing Kevin Riggins. Kevin is an Enterprise Security Architect for a Fortune 500 financial services company. Kevin and Michael have some great conversation about Kevin’s job, what he is doing at RSA, where he blogs, the book he coauthored, etc. (look below in the show notes for links to everything).

Then a fun discussion starts about cloud, risk, mobility, risk in the cloud, risk in mobility, risk of mobility integrated with the cloud, and so on. Good stuff all around.

Here’s some links to stuff about Kevin and other stuff we talked about in the show.

  • Management Team Member for the Society of Information Risk Analysis – link
  • Coauthor on The Cloud Security Rules – link
  • Kevin blogs at Infosecramblings – link
  • Twitter pages – link and link and link

    Thanks go to Jeremiah Grossman for sitting down with Michael for some great discussion. Jeremiah is the CTO at Whitehat Security and a very well known figure in the InfoSec industry. Jeremiah and Michael talk about Hawaii, sharks, security philosophy, RSA, stage fright, Jeremiah’s TED talk (not published as of the posting of this entry), and the age of the InfoSec industry and whether young folks are coming into the fold.

    You can find Jeremiah at Whitehat (link above) and his blog, and you can follow him and on Twitter as well. Jeremiah will be giving a talk and participating on panel at RSA as well, so be sure to attend those if you are going to the RSA Conference 2012.

    Today we have an interview for you. Michael had a great time sitting down with four gentlemen (they might not all agree with that term) from SpiderLabs over at Trustwave. The aforementioned SpiderLabs folks were Nicholas Percoco (@c7five), Steve Ocepek (@nosteve), Matt Jakubowski (@jaku), and Zack Fasel (@zfasel) – those are Twitter aliases for you newbs out there.

    They went over their respective histories, talked about SpiderLabs and their leetness, discussed a few talks that they are doing at DEFCON, talked about their party at DEFCON that will be held in a super-secret location, and went through about 50 SpiderLabs insider jokes.

    Michael is also pretty sure someone (Zack) was enjoying adult beverages (Zack) during the recording (Zack), but he might be wrong…

    Enjoy the show. And once again, thanks to Rivethead for the tracks. Go out to their website to see the latest on them, where they are playing, and all their news.

    A lot of discussion in this episode. And what is more funny is Dan actually cuts Jim off on a subject. Yes, you heard it right. The famous “Web Security Minute Turned to 20 Minutes” Dan makes Jim stop talking. I guess the end of the world IS here!

    Oh, and Dan leads us into the Land of Many Links with his Clickjacking story.

    We have a little bit of innuendo humor on this episode, and we all break into some hysterics (it’s all in the geek toys section, so fast forward if you want to hear all that). Around that is some information and opinion on InfoSec stuff. We figured we would throw that in there because of the name of the podcast, but whatever…
