Impressive listing of security podcasts
Digital Common Sense has a pretty impressive (read: long) list of security podcasts. I have to admit, I wasn’t familiar with a lot of them, so I thought perhaps you’d like to know the list was out there. [Link here] I’m excited to see more people podcasting and sharing their passion with all of us. I’ll be making an effort to try to listen to more of them and perhaps even welcome some of them to the Security Round Table from time to time (no need to wait for me to invite you, you’re welcome to shoot me an email with a topic you’d like to discuss).
Some of you reading this might wonder why I would send out a listing of other security podcasters. In fact, more than a few people have suggested to me that other podcasters in general, and security podcasters, in specific, were my “competition.” Not a chance. I don’t see what I and other security podcasters do as a competition. I fully embrace anyone podcasting (okay, well, not anyone, but certainly most) and celebrate more voices coming to broaden perspectives on security. This is about passion, about change, about the future.
I recently read a posting/quote by Seth Godin, when he was interviewed by Guy Kawasaki. [Link here] (Aside, if you’re starting to follow my writings on Security 2.0 and you’re not reading the brilliance of these gents, you should be) Both have top 100 blogs according to Technorati, and Guy asked Seth about his rankings…
This part has stayed with me:
Question: Why don’t you check your Technorati ranking?
Answer: Because the data won’t change my actions. Getting data for no good reason just drives you crazy. The secret is to get very flexible in the face of data you care about—changing your x every time you see y changes—and incredibly inflexible in the face of data you don’t care about.
The reason I write is to have an impact. I measure that impact in the email I get and the way it impacts people’s actions. Even if 100 people a day read my blog, I’d write the same stuff.
I cannot and do not pretend to speak for my fellow podcasters (and bloggers), but for me, this is about passion. And now, for me, this is about the future of our profession and working to define new models on how we think about and treat information security. Security 2.0 is real.
I do what I do to share my passion and to inspire. I want to make a difference.
I’d love to know how I’m doing - drop me a line sometime with your thoughts and ideas.
