May 26, 2016 Risky Business #413 -- Matthew Green: The case against backdoors
In this week's feature slot we're joined by cryptographer Matthew Green of
Johns Hopkins University. He'll be arguing against the subversion of
encryption technologies this week. Consider it a counterpoint to last week's
discussion with Stewart A Baker, former NSA general counsel. This week we get
the other side of the argument!
This week's sponsor interview is also a cracker. We're chatting with
Bromium's co-founder and CTO Simon Crosby. He's been spending a fair bit of
time lately trolling rival CTOs on Twitter, which has been somewhat hilarious
to watch.

May 12, 2016 Risky Business #411 -- Ruining the ImageMagick party

May 05, 2016 Risky Business #410 -- Mainframe security: Too big to fail?
On this week's show we're chatting with Chad Rikansrud about mainframe
security. Yes, they're old school, but there are many, many reasons why large
organisations still use these hunks of big iron. And as you'll hear, because
they're so important to the companies they basically run, management can get
a bit twitchy when you want to do crazy stuff to them, like, you know,
pentest them. We'll find out what mainframe security issues look like with
Chad Rikansrud, after this week's news.

manages to take down a massive paycheck in such a competitive space.

this stuff. We'll get the skinny on that in this week's feature interview.
