Security Weekly Podcast Network (Audio)
For this week's episode of Enterprise Security Weekly, there wasn't a lot of time to prepare.

For reference, I made the recipe for from Rick Martinez's cookbook, Mi Cocina. I used the wrong peppers (availability issue), so it came out green instead of red, but was VERY delicious. As for the...

Security Weekly Podcast Network (Audio)
Interview with Frank Vukovits: Focusing inward: there lie threats also External threats get discussed more than internal threats.

That’s why we hear the industry discuss external threats more, though internally-triggered incidents far outnumber external ones. Internal threats, on the other hand, can get personal. Accidental leaks are embarassing. Malicious insiders are a sensitive topic that...
