"The Silver Bullet Security Podcast" - another security podcast to check out

895A79A5-8647-4406-A51D-5F20EEAB03D0.jpgIn preparing for an upcoming Blue Box episode, I happened to come across an article on the IEEE Security & Privacy site which pointed me to an interesting new security podcast called "The Silver Bullet Security Podcast with Gary McGraw". It is apparently a joint project of security firm Cigital and the IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine. The regular show page is at www.cigital.com/silverbullet/ and includes a place there for comments and feedback. They just rolled out episode 20 and in looking back through the episodes they seem to have interviewed some great folks in the security space. Some of the predictable "big names" like Dan Geer, Marcus Ranum, Eugene Spafford and Bruce Schneier, but also folks like Dorothy Denning whose name was quite popular in the Clipper Chip days but then of whom I personally had heard little else since. Also folks from companies like Cisco and Microsoft and a number of professors from academic institutions. Looks to be a nice addition to the range of security podcasts out there and it has joined my subscription list.

Why "Blue Box"?

  • We chose the name "Blue Box" primarily as a nod to the era of phone phreaking in part to illustrate that threats to telephony are not new - they just continue to change and evolve. That and admittedly the name just sounded cool.
