This week marks one year since the show launched. I rounded out the year recording at the 20th Annual CERIAS Security Symposium. This week’s episode I spend doing a bit of year in review and reflection at the beginning of the show. The highlight of this week’s show is my interview with Ray Rothrock the CEO of Red Seal and the opening Keynote for the 2019 CERIAS Security Symposium. Thanks to all of the folks at CERIAS for putting on another great conference. Next week I will bring the rest of the interviews from the conference so stay tuned for those!

This week I discuss a little bit on the legal side of cybersecurity. As a disclaimer I am not a lawyer and any legal discussion is opinion only and does not constitute any type of legal advice. With that said I cover Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) and if this Facebook and other social media sites should lose their protection under this law. This conversation was prompted by two article I found where the Cisco security research group Talos found open and active criminal groups actively operating on Facebook. Is there any maleficence, negligence, wrongdoing, or straight up misconduct on Facebook’s part? You will have to listen to the episode to find out!
