In this episode (~45 minutes), I answer questions from the audience around blockchain and smart contract security considerations. I cover some of the reasons why I think these technologies are important, what their potential impacts are likely to be and how information security teams should prepare. Some of the questions drift into changes around store of value, investment insights and other closely related topics.

This episode is a tidbit episode, weighing in just under 20 minutes. I sat down last week with Megan Mayer (@Megan__Bytes) in the lobby bar of the Hyatt during the Central Ohio Security Summit. Pardon the background noise, but we riffed on what Megan believes are the top 3 things that every security manager or infosec team should do this week. She had some great insights and I think her points are fantastic.
Give it a listen, and as always, if you have feedback or have someone in mind that you'd like to have interviewed on the podcast or a topic that you'd like to see covered, drop me a line (@lbhuston).
As always, thanks for listening and stay safe out there!

In this episode, the tables get turned on me and I become the one being interviewed. The focus is on honeypots, intrusion deception and bounces from technology to industry and to overall trends.
This is a great conversation with an amazing young man, Vale Tolpegin, a student from Georgia Tech with an amazing style and a fantastic set of insights. He really asks some great questions and clarifying follow ups. This young man has a bright future ahead!

This is a tidbit episode, and comes in just under 35 minutes. This time around, I walk through a presentation I gave to the Central Ohio CIO/CISO group. The topic is Questions for Cloud Providers and deals with unusual security questions you should be asking beyond the usual SLA. Following that, I talk through an update on what I have been working on, where some of my research is going and what I have been up to over the winter.
I plan to balance between these roughly half hour tidbit episodes, the longer form podcasts which often include interviews or detailed topic dives and quick "flash" episodes which should come in under 15 minutes.
That means, hopefully, more episodes at a more rapid pace and with a variety of content.
I hope you dig it. I love making these podcasts, but the real joy is when people tell me they like them. Stay safe out there!

This episode completes 2016 and in it, I answer questions from listeners. I cover topics such as the DNC hack, working with mentees, the idea of a "Great Firewall" for the USA and a variety of others. Weighing in at around an hour, there is some very cool stuff here, if I do say so myself. :)

In this episode, I ask some of my friends and members of the infosec community a simple question - "What was the single biggest thing you learned about infosec in 2015?". Some of the answers are very personal, all are insightful and everyone was very kind to share their thoughts with the world. Thanks to all who participated!
