Episode 0x26 -- The First Rule...

Ministry of Information Bulletin: Liquidmatrix is a weekly podcast.

While we'd like to be able to say that the Ministry of Information is always correct, that would not necessarily be the case. The past few weeks of Infosec have certainly been interesting. The echo chamber is at an all time echo stratosphere and the daily slog of infosec professionals remains at an all time crappiness. Anyone want to join our "Infosec Anonymous" program? Perhaps we should go with a different name: searching "infosec anonymous" gives me about 210,000 results.

  1. Upcoming this week...
  2. Lots of News
  3. SCADA / Cyber, cyber... etc.
  4. finishing it off with DERPs/Mailbag and
  5. THE DEEP DIVE
  6. Our new weekly Briefs - no arguing or discussion allowed

    7. And if you've got commentary, please sent it to [email protected] for us to check out.

    DISCLAIMER: It's not that explicit, but you may want to use headphones if you're at work.

    ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: In case it is unclear, this is the story of 5 opinionated infosec pros who have sufficient opinions of their own they don't need to speak for anyone except themselves. Ok? Good.
