Technado

Deb Armstrong & Clem Craven flew all the way from the UK to join the Technado crew. Well, not exactly. But the pair from BT (British Telecom) did come on the show to talk about their unique approach to security training. Then, Peter, Justin, and Don recap the week’s news, including some hefty fines for a couple of companies that mishandled data.

On this week’s Technado, our hosts chat with Rocco Donnino from TitanHQ about how they help MSPs secure customer data. In the news, they talk zip bombs, an update to the Zoom issue on Mac, and a new laptop that will never need a dongle. Finally, they have some fun with FaceApp while giving all their facial data to the Russians.

It was another busy week in tech, but rest assured, the Technado crew had it covered. They tackled an OpenPGP attack, bricked Raspberry Pi 4's, Canonical’s GitHub hack, and the sale of an Instagram star’s used bath water. Then, Linux Training Architect Ross Brunson joined the team in studio to geek out on all things Linux.

With the shortened work week due to the holiday in the US, Peter, Justin, and Don still found time to get together and discuss the week’s big news stories. Don was excited to hear news on Microsoft’s potential Linux distro, while everyone on the panel was happy to see people actually being held accountable for major data breaches. Finally, they look back at the Windows logos of the past for a Stranger Things promotion.

With Peter out on vacation, Don and Justin were able to cut loose a little. They covered a big Verizon BGP route leak and a laptop that claims to be un-hackable. Then, John Dickson of Denim Group called in to discuss building resilient software that will withstand attacks. (edited)

Then Justin rejoined to talk about the week’s news, including some Windows 10 stories and an update on the Target outage.

Apple’s monitor stand stole the headlines from WWDC, but in this episode of Technado, Peter, Justin, and Don look at the conference’s less flashy announcements. Then, they talk with the COO of Active Countermeasures, Chris Brenton, about the state of threat hunting.

Will 5G endanger our lives? What would Mona Lisa look like in person? Are my Snapchat messages really vanishing? Peter, Justin, and Don tackle all these hard-hitting questions this week and also interview Marco Rubin from the Center for Innovative Technology in Virginia.

In this week’s episode, MasterPeace Solutions’ Drew Cohen introduced the crew to an innovative dev environment where employees are encouraged to start side gigs. Peter, Justin, and Don also looked at the week’s news, making sure to get angry with Apple, Microsoft, and Google.

It’s time to celebrate! On this week’s Technado, the boys pop some champagne to mark the 100th episode. But it wasn’t all fun and games. In addition to recapping the week’s news, they talked with Altaz Valani of Security Compass and Alcyr Araujo from Mosyle.
