Security Round Table Episode #6
Finally, the sixth episode of the Security Round Table! Earlier this month we had the opportunity to talk with Krishna Kurapati, Chief Technology Officer of Sipera Systems.
We know that Intstant Messaging is in the workspace and is increasingly harder to block. Should it be blocked, how can it be blocked or should it become part of the corporate infrastructure, just like voice and email? And more importantly, what are the dangers of Instant Messanging?
Thanks once more to Krishna Kurapati for joining us on the conference call. He answered an email sent out by Dan York to the VOIP Security mailing list with very short notice.
Present on this episode:
Larry Pesce | Pauldotcom Security Weekly
Alan Shimel | SSAATY (Still Secure After All These Years)
Martin McKeay | Network Security Podcast
And this will be the last time I ever give Michael a hard time for taking a couple of weeks to post a podcast. – Martin
Security Roundtable Discussion: NAC
Join me while I listen to a spirited discussion between Alan Shimel, Richard Stiennon, Mike Rothman and Chris Hoff about the relative merits and downfalls of Network Access (or Admission) Control. This all started a couple of weeks ago when Richard and Alan started a little disagreement between them about NAC on their blogs. Chris and Mike decided they needed to throw some fuel on fire, which generally seems to be their way. After reading their back and forth, I invited them to join me on a Skype call where they could each explain their positions and how the other bloggers were wrong. While this is a fairly serious security topic, as NAC seems to be one of the technologies everyone is talking about, we took the whole argument in fairly light-hearted manner.
I hope you enjoy listening to the podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it. Thanks again to Richard to saving my bacon when I had technical problems with my recording software. And while I was part of the podcast, I was mostly just an innocent observer. I think I learned more that way.
Disposable Email Address Resources
After listening to our first podcast, Robert Elam of elamb.org sent me a link to ten disposable email services. I’ve never tried any of these services, so please please give us some feedback if you’ve used them before. I think I’ll stick with manipulating my sendmail configuraton and using the ‘name’+'whateverIwant’@gmail.com trick, but these are worth using if you don’t have your own mail server.
Thanks Robert.
