Rich and I are back from RSA, rested and ready to go! Baah, who am I
kidding; here it is four days later and we're both still so tired we're
barely able to talk coherently. Not that we'd let that stop us from
recording a podcast. Never has and probably never will. In any case,
we start tonight with a recap of some of our observations of the 2009
RSA Conference and move on to the current media hype over the swine
flu. Use the swine flu as a learning exercise in how to cope with
media hype, a good excuse for reviewing your own disaster preparedness
plans and a way to get some of the same issues dealt with by your
management. The hours you spend looking at your options today may save
you hours or days down the line.

Rich and I tried our best to get a podcast recorded and posted last
night, and we were partially successful; at least we got the podcast
recorded. But the editing and posting part was well beyond my
capabilities once I got back to the hotel room last night. But it's
here, bright, shiny and new first thing in the morning.
RSA has been a hectic and exhilarating event so far, and the best part is yet to come! Rich and I had just finished our panel discussion, Avoiding Security Groundhog Day, and were joined by Rich's partner at Securosis, Adriane Lane. We found the quietest spot possible at RSA, which happened to be the near the top of the escalators. Yes, quiet space really is that rare at RSA.

Rich and I are both nearly at our wit's end today. Whatever that
really means. We're trying to do our day jobs while helping organize
the Security Bloggers Meetup and Social Security Awards, and trying to
manage our schedules for next week as well. We realized during the
show that we hadn't really set aside any time to get together and
record a podcast during RSA, so you may get a number of interviews from
the event without actually hearing Rich and I in the same room. We
talk a lot about what we'll be doing at RSA along with a couple
comments about the Twitter worm from Easter weekend and the continuing
issue of AT&T fiber cables being cut in the Bay Area.
Hope to see you at RSA next week! Network Security Podcast, Episode 146, April 14, 2009 Time: 30:51 Tonight's music: The Pain of Numbers by Get Three Coffins Ready |

Rich and I recorded this week's podcast Monday night because I was
supposed to be in San Francisco at Seesmic HQ learning about the newest
version of the Twhirl twitter client, but after the day I've had,
coming home and doing the final edit on the podcast was a much better
idea. Besides that I have another podcast to do some editing on and
about twenty hours of other work I need to get done. The worst part is
that I have the new Harry Dresden book, Turn Coat, by Jim Butcher and
don't have the time to read it tonight. And my life is relatively calm
compared to Rich's. Oh well, if we survive the week, there'll be
another podcast next week.

We've got a long show to night, but well worth it. Rich was able to
talk Dino Dai Zovi into appearing on the show after his recent talks at
both SOURCE Boston and CanSecWest, despite Dino's feeling the effects
of so much travel. We talked about his new book, about his post "No
More Free Bugs" and general dealings with vendors about
vulnerabilities. Rich also succumbs to the darkside and let's his
fanboi roots show more than a little. We finish by talking about the
impending doom that is (or isn't) Conficker and the GhostNet. We had a
lot more to talk about, but in honor of your time and our energy, we
ended it before we really got rolling. Still not as long as a
Pauldotcom show though. Speaking of which, congratulations to Paul on
his new role over at Tenable!
