In this episode we talk about the latest named vulnerability OptionsBleed.  Is it all that it is cracked up to be and is the security news industry headed into chicken little territory with FUD like this.

Next up NIST has released new guidelines for authentication which contain some changes to how we are doing passwords.  we discuss what this means and how businesses and users can adapt.

Lastly a couple of articles regarding what incentives are needed for businesses to start taking security seriously raises a topic that we have discussed tangentially on the podcast before.  is government intervention necessary in some sectors that harbor personally identifiable information.

All this, and some goofy laughs ahead, on the 2 dropped tables and a microphone podcast.
