An Information Security Place Podcast

The first podcast of the new year is here, and it is a nice round number! That is sweet! So please forgive any weirdness in the way this episode sounds. It was put together over a couple of weeks doing interviews here and there with vendors as well as each other while we were at our (Michael and Jim) employer’s annual company meeting. Jim is a miracle worker, but even he could not make it completely fluid!

Also, because of scheduling, Dan did not get to join us. But Jim and I were fortunate enough to be joined by coworker and wireless uber-beast, Mr. Tyler Theys. I think you will enjoy this episode, even with all the weirdness!
