Price McDonald, Senior Manager of Penetration Testing at Rapid7 is our feature interview this week. News from: Boulder Beer, Galvanize, Ping Identity, Webroot, Zvelo, Red Canary, Coalfire and a lot more!

What do you find scariest?

What’s scariest, a 70 degree temperature drop in one day, America’s oldest craft brewery (here in Boulder) ceasing distribution, a haunted house engineered (science!) to scare you or 500 new cellphone towers coming to your neighborhood? In less scary news: Galvanize partners with the VA to train vets. Ping Identity releases their long-awaited certification program. Webroot talks about keeping kids safe in online games. Zvelo balances security versus privacy. Red Canary uses context to discover persistence. Coalfire says FUD is dead (talk about scary!).
