The Security Catalyst

Martin McKeay and I are evolving the Security Roundtable: we’ll be recording every other week at 7 am Pacific/10a Eastern on Saturday mornings. And we’ll be streaming the recording live (http://hak5radio.com:8000/srt.mp3.m3u), opening a chat session and encouraging more bloggers and podcasters to join us.

Our goal is simple: keep the program simple, under an hour and relevant while blending together the voices of the community. This is also an opportunity for members of the community to participate through segments. Rather than have a larger, static “panel” of people, we’re exploring more voices, shorter segments and more interactive. We’d love to know what you think, what you want to hear and if you want to be involved.  

While we consider this recording to be an experiment – it is a show where I learned from the conversation. In fact, I look forward to listening to it again. Our guest for the show is Marc Massar, Principal Solutions Architect at Venafi. I had interviewed Venafi previously (and liked their approach) and was happy to welcome Marc to the program.

Our rules are/were simple: no sales pitch. Marc didn’t need the rules – he’s got a solid background and jumped right into a meaty discussion about the industry and how we can improve our solutions.

Security Roundtable for September 13th, 2008

The next SRT will be recorded on September 27th, 2008 at 7:00 a.m. PDT.  I’ll be in Las Vegas – so for me, it will actually be nice and early (and I’ll find some Mountain Dew before we start – MD should sponsor me!).

One of the true benefits of sharing thoughts through spoken and written word is the ability to meet quality people. I thrive on conversation - especially discourse that leads to new understanding. I am a firm believer that through purposeful conversation, honest intentions and open minds we can solve a lot of challenges we face.

So when Martin McKeay and I were “chatting” online Tuesday night, he popped in with “Hey - no pressure, but do you want to cohost tonight?” It took about a minute to decide. He shared some links to stories to talk about and I took 30 minutes to read them and write down some ideas - and then boom - we recorded.

I really enjoyed the conversation and was really amped at the end. It took me a while to get ready for bed - my mind was still engaged. I hope you have a similar experience when listening!

(PS: I hope you still chose to listen to the programming on The Security Catalyst; however, somewhere in the feedchange, we seem to have confused iTunes. If it doesn’t look like we have new shows - you may want to unsubscribe and resubscribe.)
