On this week's episode

Why is everybody talking about this now?

On Quora, the question was asked, "What are some ways to protect identities on the Internet?" Mike and Davi offer their advice.

It's time for "Ask a CISO"

The Three As: Authentication, Authorization, and Auditing or Accounting. How do they interrelate? What's the order? And have we been doing it wrong?

It's time to play, "What's Worse?!"

How are you going to handle having a very well known exploit?

Close your eyes, breathe in. It's time for a little security philosophy.

On Quora, the question was asked, "What should I do to completely erase my digital identity for good?" It seems impossible, and probably is, but how what steps would one need to get rid of our online identities?

It's time to play, "What Is It and Why Do I Care?"

We're introducing a brand new game today called "What Is It and Why Do I Care?" Here's how the game is played. I have three pitches from three different vendors who are all in the same category, application security. I have asked the reps to first, in 25 words or less, just explain their category. So give me a simple explanation of application security. That's the "What Is It?" and then for the "Why Do I Care?" I asked them to explain what differentiates them or makes them unique also in 25 words or less. It is up to Mike and Davi to pick your favorite of each and explain why. I only reveal the winning contestants and their companies.
