In this episode I was at the 2010 Gartner Security and Risk Symposium and was able to have a fantastic discussion on mobile risk, education, security awareness and the use of research and metrics with three extremely bright gentlemen thanks to the folks at Intel who set that up.

Interviewed were:

• Stanton Gatewood - CISO, Board of Regents of The University of Georgia
• Dr. Larry Ponemon - Chairman and Founder, The Ponemon Institute
• Kevin Beaver - Information Security Consultant, Principle Logic

I hope you enjoy listening to this discussion as much as I did conducting it.

This episode represents the first video podcast seen on my podcast show, and I was fortunate to have Adam Meyers, Senior Principal at SRA International available at the 2010 RSA Conference to be the first such interview.

The topic for Adam was that of situational awareness and cyber intelligence. We were able to discuss his views on why cyber intelligence is important to the private sector (as opposed to just government) as well as among other things, thoughts on some best practices and how to use your current organizational technology people to implement such strategies.

• His Sunday home run
• How he ended up at Notre Dame from Texas

In this episode I have a bit of a hardware and general state of biometrics discussion with Jim Schriver, Director of New Technologies at Black Box Network Services.

The topic of biometrics has been of interest to me and other in the industry as of late as I've begun to see a number of very successful implementations particularly around the military and law enforcement. I still belive the technology and direction is excellent - however the issue so far as I can tell remains getting the IT folks and the physical security folks to see eye to eye on who owns what and how it all operates.

That is part of what we discussed here - but moreover I plan on having further discussions on down the road hopefully with the practitioner behind one of the successful implementations I am suggesting are out there.
