Don’t Forget the Firmware

If your approach to firmware is that you don’t bother it as long as it doesn’t bother you, you might want to listen to this episode. Concerns about supply chain vulnerabilities are on the rise and for good reason: Attackers are targeting firmware because compromising this software can allow attackers to persist on systems after reboot. What’s more, many organizations aren’t paying much attention to firmware, or don’t have the processes or tools to inspect it. Paul Asadoorian joins the show to explain the security risks involved with firmware and how to address them. We cover everything you need to know, plus we analyze some of the big cybersecurity events in the news. | LISTEN NOW

Regulating AI

In this episode Greg and Johna spar over how, when, and why to regulate AI. Does early regulation lead to bad regulation? Does late regulation lead to a situation beyond democratic control? Comparing nascent regulation efforts in the EU, UK, and US, they analyze socio-legal principles like privacy and distributed liability. Most importantly, Johna drives home the point that regardless of what your government may or may not be doing, your company better get some internal AI regulations in place. | LISTEN NOW

Open Source to Closed

With “The Cathedral and the Bazaar” as his guide, Srivats P launched Ostinato, his open source project, in 2010. He needed an affordable network traffic generator at his day job, he was passionate enough to build one during his nights and weekends, and end users loved it– it has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. A success story, right? Not quite. Srivats joins the show today to explain why he is moving Ostinato to closed source, and shares the struggles of many open source maintainers. | LISTEN NOW
