Security Roundtable for September 13 2008

Welcome to the September 13, 2008 Security Roundtable. I know, we missed August – despite our best attempts (we recorded a flop – my fault – that we will make up and bring to you in the future). The time away gave us a chance to sit and plan. Whacky, right?

As a result, Martin McKeay and I are evolving (improving) the Security Roundtable!

Starting now, we’ll be recording every other week at 7 am Pacific/10a Eastern on Saturday mornings. And we’ll be streaming the recording live (http://hak5radio.com:8000/srt.mp3.m3u), opening a chat session and encouraging more bloggers and podcasters to join us. Of course, we will continue to distribute the recordings through this site – so if you have to do yard work, watch the kids, make us breakfast… you won’t miss a thing.

The discussion continues in the Security Catalyst Community, too. In fact, in some cases, it may even start there… 

Our goal is simple: keep the program simple, under an hour and relevant while blending together the voices of the community. This is also an opportunity for members of the community to participate through segments. Rather than have a larger, static “panel” of people, we’re exploring more voices, shorter segments and more interactive. We’d love to know what you think, what you want to hear and if you want to be involved. 

While we consider this recording to be an experiment – it is a show where I learned from the conversation. In fact, I look forward to listening to it again. Our guest for the show is Marc Massar, Principal Solutions Architect at Venafi. I had interviewed Venafi previously (and liked their approach) and was happy to welcome Marc to the program.

Our rules are/were simple: no sales pitch. Marc didn’t need the rules – he’s got a solid background and jumped right into a meaty discussion about the industry and how we can improve our solutions.

Security Roundtable for September 13th, 2008

The next SRT will be recorded on September 27th, 2008 at 7:00 a.m. PDT.  Martin will be at the McKeay Global HQ (with coffee) and I will be in Vegas, with Mountain Dew. The first program in October – we’ll both be in the same town, and are working now to be in the same place at the same time. Watch out!
