The Security Catalyst

I know it’s been a bit since the last podcast has been released. The irony of it for me is that I am still recording them and have actually started to settle into a more predictable plan of programming and production. The rub, for me, has been finding time for the production.

In my business, I have a simple rule: paying clients come first. It’s been an excellent summer for us, as Effective Assurance in IT Operations has been a success and we’re about to launch the security coaching practice this week. Both are things that I will tell you about in more detail in the coming weeks (and make some special offers designed to save you some money and allow us to work together).

The end result is a pile of audio that I need to work through. Here is what I am planning for the next 2 weeks:

1. I am editing and releasing my interview with the FBI about their “Innocent Images” effort to protect our children ASAP. I’m targeting a release early this week - along with some valuable links and insights designed to help you protect your children (and be more aware of the dangers that lurk in the shadows of the Internet).

2. Because we have been doing a lot of research on the FFIEC authentication mandate (and presented a “state of the mandate” teleseminar last week), I feel compelled to comment on the recent 2-factor authentication phishing scheme. It’ll be one of my first “special report” podcasts, but may actually take on more of a “deep dive” feel.

** Here is your change to help! I’m looking for a volunteer who wants to help me write the program for the

3. I am working on some supplemental information about how to protect your children on online sites, as well as interviewing some other vendors to bring you some valuable information. Consider it a follow-up to the FBI interviews with some detailed information on the steps you *should* take immediately.

Lastly, we’re recording the July Security Round Table tomorrow evening - so more insights and fun should be in store for us all shortly.

Thanks for your messages and support. We’re only just getting started!
