Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue This week, on a good start to the new year, Eric Escobar joins us to talk about hacking wireless - and a little bit of history on the topic.

DtSR Episode 480 - Juice Jacking
Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue Have you ever plugged your smart phone, tablet or other "smart thing" into a power cable that wasn't yours? I'm guessing you've answered yes - and if so, you need to listen to this episode. As we travel and move around with our smart devices, we don't always have our charging cables & blocks with us, and that can lead to disaster. Hear more from Robert Rowley on how "juice jacking" can cause security problems we aren't even aware of.

DtSR Episode 478 - Beyond Buzzwords: XDR
Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue This week's episode is one of my favorite topics - marketing buzzwords. You've all heard the term "XDR" and wondered (probably like me) what the heck it is and how it's different than EDR or MDR. Do we really need more buzzwords? Mark Alba from Anomali joins me this week to discuss this, and I think it'll help sort things out for you, it sure did for me. I'm still not a big fan of new buzzwords, but at least I get it now.

Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue Folks, the video of this episode which was live-streamed to our YouTube channel is here: https://youtu.be/IYVB_LNhURQ - and if you can, watch it. Huge mega-thanks to Microsoft and Lightstream for bringing together Jeff and Mark on this one to deliver some truly phenomenal content. This week is Azure Security Benchmark (not baseline, oops) version 3.0 hot off the presses. We talk about what it is, how to apply it, and where and why it's so useful for keeping not just your Azure public cloud safe, but also the "other" public clouds you use too.

DtSR Episode 475 - Community Sourced Threat Instructions
Send the hosts a message - try it now!Prologue Fair warning y'all, this episode may have been just slightly more fun than the Surgeon General allows. That said, on this one we not only made up some new terms ("Threat Instructions", Anton) but also had some fun describing what a well-functioning system of highly automate-able threat data would look like. And as it turns out, it's CrowdSec's "Fire" data set. Fascinating conversation, and most fascinating of all is that as Philippe described how it functions, Anton could find nothing wrong with it. Call me gobsmacked. If you're interested in participating in the Crowd, click this link - because a typo will put you in a very weird and very different sort of crowd.
