In this podcast Tom Uren, Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau talk about an EU directive that will make vendors liable for software defects. The directive sets a very high bar but is also limited in scope. It only applies to individuals and doesn’t cover professional use so it is a very practical way to start changing expectations about liability.

They also talk about Session Messenger app which has decamped from Australia and set up a foundation in Switzerland. The encrypted and metadata-resistant app is catnip for criminals, so we expect that it is on a collision course with state power.

This episode previously referred to a 10 day limit, but we read the wrong bit of a table. This has been corrected in the title to 45 days, but the podcast audio still refers to the incorrect 10 day maximum age. Sorry!

In this Risky Business News sponsored interview, Tom Uren talks to Brett Winterford, Okta’s APAC Chief Security Officer. Brett has mined Okta’s data and finds strong evidence that organisations invest in phishing-resistant authentication methods once they know they’ve been targeted by groups that excel at social engineering (such as Scattered Spider).

Brett discussed this research at Okta’s conference, Oktane, which was held in Las Vegas on 15 to 17 October 2024.
