Network Security Podcast

It’s hard doing interviews on the showroom floor at RSAC.  Even the relatively quiet places are incredibly noisy when you get right down to it.  The good thing is it hopefully masked the worst of my mispronunciation of Roel Schouwenberg’s name.  Roel is the Senior Anti-Virus Researcher at Kaspersky Lab and spent some time talking to me in the Threat Post booth on the showroom floor at RSA 2010.  We started off talking about the omnipresent APT, moved into slicing apart signature-based AV and end up on organized crime and what the future may bring.

Jan Hichert, CEO of Astaro Internet Security, and I met in one of the quieter hallways of the 2010 RSA Convention.  Of course, ‘quiet’ is a relative term when it comes to RSA, but the audio came out acceptable in any case.  We talked about several of the new products Astaro is offering this year, including Astaro Mail Archiving, Astaro Wireless Security and Astaro RED.  We finished the conversation talking about Jack Daniel’s new position at Astaro, social media and Security BSides.  I think Astaro is one of the few security companies that actually get social media, in large part thanks to Jack.
