Episode 0x28 — For Reals… it’s here.
I SAID it’s a weekly podcast
Life gets in the way of art. There’s five of us, we are operating from 3 time zones and several of us have a whole lot more than just one job, and then parenting duties as well. This negatively contributes to the possibility of getting all of us together at the same time for a recording. We’re trying to figure out what to do about it. It may be that we go for more frequent recordings of whomever is available and stuff together the rest of us when we can. Sigh. Or something.
- Upcoming this week…
- Lots of News
- Breaches
- SCADA / Cyber, cyber… etc.
- finishing it off with DERPs/Mailbag and
- There will be a DEEP DIVE
- But there are weekly Briefs – no arguing or discussion allowed
And if you’ve got commentary, please sent it to mailbag@liquidmatrix.org 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 5 opinionated infosec pros who have sufficient opinions of their own they don’t need to speak for anyone except themselves. Ok? Good.
