Hey folks, we’ve got something a little different tonight.  Both Jason and Dustin are unavailable, so my friend Danny has agree’d to step up and stand in on tonight’s show.

Danny is one of the Hosts of Rally Security @rallysecurity, and works for Sqrrl @sqrrldata.  He also helped build InfoSanity @infosanityorg, a site/support group for folks in IT that might be going through some rough times, and need peers to help them through.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/ironsysadmin/episodes/IronSysadmin-EP32.ogg

We were invited to participate in the year-end InfoSec podcast, with Braking Down Security, Purple Squad, rally sec, and Advanced Persistent Security.  It was a good time!  Nate participated, Jason and Dustin couldn’t make it.

Here are some links we discussed in the show, and contact info for the other shows involved. Happy 2018!
