WELCOME TO THE SECURITY COCKTAIL HOUR PODCAST

The holidays are a time for joy. It’s also a time when thieves and scammers up their game in the cyber world, looking to put a damper on everyone’s good cheer. Security consultant Reut Weitzman joins us to share tips to keep the bad guys from spoiling your holidays.

What we’re drinking: Negroni

In this Afterparty episode, co-host Adam Roth steps into the ring with previous guest Salvatore Toner, owner of F.C. Chaos Boxing & Fitness, for a special boxing challenge. Watch to see the pre-fight festivities, hear our commentary during the match and find out what a cyber security expert looks like after he goes three rounds with a guy thirty years younger than him.

No drinks for this one, but feel free to crack open a beer while you watch. 

Everyone in security says they’re committed to Zero Trust, even if they can’t agree on what it means. We take on the challenge of explaining the security industry’s favorite buzzword and the bizarre mythology around it, with the help of guest Adam Kohler and a few sips of bourbon. (Well, maybe not sips. And maybe more than a few.)

What we’re drinking: Bourbon

It's our Halloween episode, and we're covering the scary topic of medical device security with guest Gabrielle Hempel, aka @gabsmashh. Gabrielle talks about her experiences with medical devices and her unconventional path into information security.
