On this week’s show Patrick Gray and Adam Boileau discuss the week’s security news, including:

  • The amazing Yahoo! News story on the former CIA director’s awesome brainwaves
  • Hostage diplomacy pays off for Huawei CFO
  • NSA releases great guidance on VPN security
  • Microsoft has actually hired a cybersecurity executive
  • Much, much more

This week’s show is brought to you by Material Security. Material’s co-founder Ryan Noon will be along in this week’s sponsor interview to talk about smarter ways to do email retention and destruction. They have a product that interfaces with your mail provider’s API – whether you’re on Google Workspace or O365 – to do things like archive and redact email, and they’re finding their customers are using these features to actually implement retention email strategies.
