Security.Exe powered by The CISO Group with Alan Shimel & Mitchell Ashely

Here is the 2nd episode of the security.exe podcast. Unfortunately Mitchell Ashley is unable to join me. Mitchell’s wife has been battling breast cancer for almost 5 years and her condition has taken a turn for the worse. We wish Mitchell and his family strength and prayers at this trying time.

I do have two great guests on this episode though. Morey Haber of eEye and Alex Quinonez from CyberRoam join me to discuss what is on the security horizon for 2010. I think you will find it an insightful conversation!

We talk about Aurora, iPad, Cloud Security and a bunch of other topics that we see as being relevant to the discussion around security 2010.

I hope Mitchell will be able to join us again soon. Until then we will have some special guest hosts and other special guests on the podcasts.

Enjoy!

Well we are at it again! Mitchell and I debut our old/new podcast under the Security.Exe name. Of course it is powered by The CISO Group our new company. But it is the same old Mitchell and Alan. Besides talking a bit about The CISO Group (not enough in my opinion), Mitchell and I spend a bit of time going down an Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole. We talk about Google/China, APT, why we are not secure in general, what consumers want in security and a bunch of other things. I was about to break out some beers, as the two of us wax on (or is it wax off) poetically about things.

Anyway, now that we have that out of the way, Mitchell and I will be podcasting quite a bit. We hope to be joined by our fellow CISO Group partners, Parker, Josh and Bobby in future episodes. Of course we will have special guests as well. So stay tuned as we crank this baby up!

Hi-Yo Silver, Away! The Lone Ranger rides again. Well in this case the only thing silver may be his hair. But at least he has his hair, which is more than I can say. Mitchell and I are happy to be joined this week by our old friend and once again chief Security Inciter, Mike Rothman. It is always a pleasure to have Mike on and he is never at a shortage of things to say.

Mike, Mitchell and I discuss post-vendor puke life for all three of us. What’s next for us? Well you will have to listen to the show to know. Of course a podcast with the three of us would not be complete without ragging on some security issues. So we discuss the recent lawsuit against the POS provider for capturing and storing mag data from credit cards. Did IBM overpay for Guardium? Is the new “black screen of death” a hoax or has someone gamed Microsoft’s patch process? Finally, what drives so many powerful, successful men to think they can get away with anything and do stupid things ala “Cheetah” Woods?

Anyway, always good to have Mike on the show and we will have him on again soon!

Wow, 3 weeks in a row! Mitchell and I are back in the old rhythm, as we have a great discussion about a number of topics. Among them are:

1. Google Chrome OS - is it a browser? Is it an OS? Is it real? Is it secure?
2. Microsoft Azure and AppFabric
3. The Ponemon Institute survey
4. Cyberwarfare according to McAfee

The usual back and forth mixed in of course and it is a good 40 minutes of fun. Hope you enjoy! Any questions or comments can be left on the blog or you can email ashimmy@ashimmy.com

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our listeners! Next weeks show promises a special masked man.

True to our word, Mitchell and I are back for another podcast! We are going to really try and do one a week for as long as possible. Mitchell and I have so much to catch up on that it is again just the two of us this week. But for right after Thanksgiving we have a special guest lined up to appear.

Anyway, for this weeks show Mitchell and I discuss:

1. Microsoft is about to launch Azure
2. The first zero day for Windows 7
3. Yet another worm for the iPhone
4. HP/3Com
5. Why is security so damned hard
6. Fortinet's IPO
7. Cloud Computing becoming part of the pop culture

We are extending our podcast naming contest one more week. So far Tyler Reguly is the winner hands down, but if you have a great name for the podcast to suggest leave a comment. Winner gets a t-shirt and a guest appearance on the show!

Well it has been too long. I am happy to welcome Mitchell Ashley back as the co-host of the podcast. It sort of felt like Martin and Lewis getting together (or for some of you younger folks, Cheech and Chong). Anyway I am happy to have Mitchell back doing the show with me. We work well together. In tonights episode we talk about a few topics:

1. Is the CISO role really best suited to a consulting gig
2. Microsoft releases a free AV product - Security Essentials
3. Microsoft's Forefront for Exchange is released
4. I am not at StillSecure and neither is Mitchell. It doesn't make sense to call the show StillSecure, After all these years. What should we call it?

That brings us to the naming contest. A free T-shirt and appearance as a guest to the person who suggests the new name for the podcast. You can leave a comment or email me at ashimmy (at) hotmail dot com

Hope you like the show and we will try to do them much more regularly now!

Today's StillSecure After all these years is a special episode on the latest release of StillSecure's Safe Access NAC solution. Code named Mirror Pond it has won raves from customers, engineers and reviewers.  I am joined by John Curry, Director of customer security at StillSecure. John and I discuss what are the new features in Mirror Pond and what the buzz is about.  WARNING: This podcast could change your views on why, how and when to use NAC.

Tonights episode is one of a continuing series I am doing on the cloud and cloud security. I am very lucky to be joined by Monty Blight and Jeremiah Dooley from Peak 10 Data Center Solutions. Peak 10 has been offering cloud based services for several years and has a rather mature offering. Cloud security is something they have thought long and hard about. I think you will find their take on it interesting. It is certainly in contrast to our previous guests in part 1 of this series. They put a lot less emphasis on the virtual and more on delivering from the data center. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment. Thanks to Pod0matic for hosting our podcast.

This is episode one of a multi-part series on cloud services and their security. I am joined by Roger Barranco and Jeff Slap of Host.net, a cloud provider and StillSecure partner. Roger, Jeff and I talk about host.net's cloud offerings and how they are securing them. It is one companies take on fullfilling the demand for this hot technology. In future episodes we will have some guests from other providers to share their plans and opinions on how best to offer a secure cloud service.

Enjoy!

I sit down with Jennifer Jabbusch, Dominick Genzano and Mike Rothman to discuss the latest gudiance on PCI wireless security. As usual there is no shortage of opinions when it comes to PCI security.

Mitchell and I are joined tonight by Jody Brazil, CTO of Secure Passage, makers of firemon firewall management software.

Its just Mitchell and I talking tonight. We talk about StillSecure's acquisition of ProtectPoint. We talk about Windows 7 and what it means. We also talk about a bunch of other stuff including NAC, the economy, what Mitchell is up to, etc.

The usual SSAATY stuff, enjoy!

In episode 63 Mitchell and I are joined by David Kelleher of GFI. We had a great talk with David about what is on the security horizon for 2009. We also found out more about GFI. It is a nice interview.

Mitchell and I also do our usual what is news in security. John Thompson as Secretary of Commerce? Another iPhone upgrade nightmare, Windows 7 and more.

Join us for a fun discussion.

Mitchell and I are joined by our friend Mike Rothman for this show taped on Thanksgiving Eve. Mike has "taken off the objectivity suit" and is now a vendor puke for eIQ Networks. Mike talks about his reasons for taking the job, what eIQ is about and what about the analyst gig.

We also discuss with Mike some of the latest news in security. As always, Mitchell and I have a great time with Mike and the time goes by too quickly. I am sure you will enjoy what Mike has to say as well.

Mitchell and I had two shows taped, so rather than wait I released them both . We have another one ready to go in the next week or so as well, so stay tuned.

SSAATY #61 has Mitchell and I joined by Steve Goodbarn, CEO of Secure64, developers of a DNSSec solution. Mitchell and I get a well grounded technical background on DNSSec and what Steve is trying to do.

We so inspired Steve that he started his how blog shortly thereafter. His blog is at http://www.stevegoodbarn.com.
