Liquidmatrix Security Digest Podcast

Episode 0x7E

The one after the outage...

We keep talking about how it's amazing that this is still happening and it really is. But I think we're done with that talk now. I was having a conversation with a CTO at another cloud service provider and he had a poster on his home office wall... "Consistency is what transforms average into excellent." Thanks for being a consistent listener / viewer!

Upcoming this week...

1. Lots of News
2. Breaches
3. SCADA / Cyber, cyber... etc.
4. finishing it off with DERPs/Mailbag (or Deep Dive)
5. And there are weekly Briefs - no arguing or discussion allowed

And if you've got commentary, please sent it to [email protected] for us to check out.

DISCLAIMER: It's not that explicit, but you may want to use headphones if you're at work.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: In case it is unclear, this is the story of (approximately) 5 opinionated infosec pros who have sufficient opinions of their own they don't need to speak for anyone except themselves. Ok? Good.
