Network Security Podcast

Welcome to the last Network Security Podcast of 2008.  Rich and Martin are taking some well deserved time off and will be back on January 6th, 2009.  We kept it short and would like to wish everyone a very happy holiday season.  But don't think we'll be resting on our laurels while we're off, we've got some exciting plans for 2009!  Among other things we'll be working on the sound quality, updating the site and have some other interesting changes in store for you.  Unless one of us get's blindsided by reality that is.

Until next year, thanks for listening and we both wish you and your families the best for the holiday season!

Alright folks- Martin is off this week as he bounces around for his paying job, so I brought in a special co-host this week. That's right, Big Bad Chris Hoff from Rational Survivability joins us to discuss the our national cybersecurity, DNS attacks, DHCP trojans, the future of information centric security, and, of course, the wonders of the cloud. (Oh, and some wacky fitness program we bought off an infomercial).

And yes, we talk sumo suits and Martin's fate during the last few minutes.

This week, Rich and Martin actually make the podcast live up to it's name.  You'll have to wait until the second half of the podcast, but we take a good part of today's show and discuss some of the technology that we've both put into our networks, the reasons behind the choices we've made, and some of the effects those choices have made on our computing experience.  Let us know about your home network and the hows/whys of the choices you've made in setting it up.
