In this episode: Casey Smith, Director of Applied Research at RedCanary is our guest this week. News from: NCC, Coalfire, CyberGRX, Red Canary, Webroot, InteliSecure... and a lot more!

Let's blockchain this bad boy

Yeah, we knew Denver was a great place for start-ups, but now we've got proof. Colorado is starting to look for ways to use Blockchain, and that might actually be a good thing. Ransomware is a real business. Colorado has some good security news (Niwot cyber girls kicking butt) and bad news (audit finds issues in substance abuse treatment program's security). Coalfire has a new CEO. CyberGRX makes the sandbox at RSA. And blogs from Red Canary, Webroot and InteliSecure.
