Welcome to episode number two of our Breaking Badness Mini-Series: Stronger Together! We hope you had a chance to check out last week’s episode of our conversation with Allan Liska. This week we’re going to be hearing from Jamie Williams, Jon DiMaggio, Corey Thuen, and Renee Burton as we continue to focus on RSA’s 2023 theme: Stronger Together. We cover a lot of ground in these interviews, but the theme we keep coming back to is how we can take our individual specialities and come together to give bad actors more bad days.

In this episode for the Stronger Together Mini-Series, we are joined by Allan Liska, Ransomware Researcher at Recorded Future. We sat down (or rather, stood and leaned against a wall away from noise) to discuss his path to infosec, interesting talks at RSA, liberal arts and cybersecurity, a pending passion project, and general geeking out over DNS.

In this special Mini-Series, Breaking Badness goes on the road to RSA to talk to researchers, intelligence analysts, security advocates, VPs, and C-suites on how we can come together in the industry to give bad actors more bad days.
