StillSecure, After All These Years Podcast

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.

BTW, in case you are wondering the * is for the number 61. I just can't write 61 with out an * next to it, out of respect to Roger Maris and the Babe.

Mitchell and I get together in person at Scott Converse's Medioh! Studios again. In addition to Scott, we are joined by long time friend Sam Van Ryder of Alert Logic.

We have a great time talking about "NAC of the living dead", the Alert Logic business model, TSA security and Brazilian steakhouses of all things!

Be warned the boys get a little bit out of control and I am labeling this episode with a MA rating!

Mike Murray joins Mitchell and I for a good look at the state of security, security expertise and our economy.

Mitchell and I are joined this week by Bill Brenner. Bill is the senior editor at CSO Online. We have been trying to get him on as a guest since he was with searchsecurity.com!
Bill talks mostly about how the current economic crisis might effect the security industry. We also talk about the life of a security journalist and what is the next big thing in security.

The interview with Bill does not come on until around 17 minutes in. Mitchell and I first talk about a mess of things including Apple, Green NAC (but not Green Apples), M&A in security, etc.

Its good to be doing these podcasts regularly again. Hope you enjoy it!

In episode #57 Alan and Mitchell interview industry luminary Tom Noonan, co-founder and former CEO of Internet Security Systems (ISS). Following IBM's acquisition and integration of ISS, Tom recently retired from IBM and is on the advisory board of Network-Based Entitlement Control (NBEC) company Rohati (http://www.rohati.com). Tom efforts at ISS truly helped shape the security industry by creating early automated vulnerability and intrusion detection products, the X-Force security research team, and ushered in the era of UTMs (Unified Threat Management). We spend some time understanding both how the security industry has changed and how the lessons from building ISS into an industry powerhouse apply to today's security market.

Michael Montecillo, a security practitioner who now works for analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) covering the security industry, joins us to talk everything from the undue influence and power of analysts on the market, to promoting Michael in a Brazilian Jujitsu match. How much do vendors influence analysts? Are analysts really independent when vendors hire them as consultants? Can vendors influence the amount and kind of coverage they get? Some analysts have taken to the practice of making predictions, like Gartner’s death of IDS, or Microsoft catering by 2011. We also turn the SSAATY Spotlight on Symantec who’s cannibalizing sales from their channel and the impact to Microsoft’s partners for the new hosted Microsoft Online Services. We record tonight’s podcast in the studios of Medioh thanks to our friend and faithful podcast engineer Scott Converse. Scott also gives an update on Medioh and the new video guide capabilities.

Episode 55 of SSAATY is a fun one. Mitchell and I are joined by JJ, Jenifer Jabbusch of Security Uncorked blog. JJ is someone I have gotten to know over the last year or so and she is a lot of fun. On top of that she is very technical and huge supporter of 802.1x, NAC and security in general.

JJ, Mitchell and I talk abour Rohati, NAC, 802.1x and a bunch of other stuff in our usal rambling, stream of consciousness style. It is about 40 minutes of informative good times.

Someone put chocolate in our peanut butter! Mitchell and I are lucky to be joined today by the dynamic duo of the Network Security Podcast, none other than Martin McKeay and Rich Mogull! In this Flintstones meet the Jetsons episode, the four of us discuss a couple of topics. Among them are: 1. What right to privacy do you have to information you post on line. Can employers use your "personal" web postings against you? As social networking proliferates can we keep a handle on what is known about us on line? 2. HP claims they employ 9 of the top 11 security hackers. What about Microsoft? Who are we kidding here? 3. A special message for security bloggers, podcasters and media types attending RSA.

Mitchell and I recorded this one in person at the sound studio of our friend Scott Converse. Scott is the driving force behind Clickcaster, which is the home of our podcast. Scott and the Clickcaster guys are now taking it to the next level with broadband TV  with a new company called, Medioh. Scott is a great guy and besides doing sound engineering duties on this one tells us all about some of the exciting stuff going on with Medioh. Mitchell and I also do our usual and discuss current security events. Among topics we discussed are the MySQL acquisition by Sun, Vernier Networks, and multi-gig IPS. Mitchell also makes a big announcement on a new career path (you will have to listen to find out). Be sure to check out Medioh.com for more info on what Scott and his posse are up to.

Happy New Year to you all!  Sorry for the delay between podcasts but Mitchell and I were pretty busy with end of year and family business.  Episode 51 of the podcast is a good one with Brad Reese of Cisco Subnet fame.  Brad has some strong opinions about Cisco and their place in the marketplace. Of course Mitchell and I have some pretty strong opinions ourselves.  All in all it makes for some lively conversation that I think you will enjoy!
