Security Discussions

KubeCon/CloudNativeCon Series

He's a security pro disguised as a cloud operations engineer. Worked for NASA, the TSA, and the Navy before he came to Cisco. So he's got interesting insights on the challenges around protecting data. He also provides a great summary of the competing interests in the net neutrality debate, and he talks about how and why companies are using orchestration tools like Ansible to make the cloud workable in today's enterprise environments.

Ep09: Security, Net Neutrality, and Ansible with Branson Matheson

The best kind of cyber security is the kind that allows you to predict and avoid attacks in the first place! And that's exactly what Cisco Umbrella does. Today we talk with Chris Riviere, Consulting Systems Engineer for Cloud Security about how Umbrella (formerly OpenDNS) works and who's using it to protect their businesses. He's also got quite a bit of knowledge about cryptocurrency, so if you've got an interest in Bitcoin or Ethereum, settle in to hear what he's go to say about that.

Ep18: Cloud Security and Crytpocurrency with  Chris Riviere

As Internet Security Advisor to the White House in the late 90s, he helped the U.S. government avoid catastrophe with Y2K. Today, Dr. Rand Morimoto runs a technology consultancy and speaks to audiences around the world about technology, entrepreneurship, and successfully securing your data. 

In this week's Cloud Unfiltered, Rand applies the "psychology of cyberspace" to hacker activities, explains why Azure took off so quickly, and makes a strong case for being part of the change when it comes to cloud rather than a victim of it.

Ep19: Securing the Cloud with Dr. Rand Morimoto

Bryan Doerr was formerly CTO at Saavis and CEO of Observable Networks, a company acquired by Cisco in July of 2017. In this episode, @vallard and @nikiacosta ask about the state of security how Observable Networks -- now called Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud-- helps create intelligent, actionable alerts based on identifying and observing device history, access, data flow, and more!

Ep22: Stealthwatch Cloud, Equifax, and Protecting Your Personal Info, with Bryan Doerr

Patrick was a "dyed-in-the-wool" deep packet inspection guy until the day he had an epiphany and realized that pretty soon existing security approaches were going to run into unsolvable problems. His response to that ultimately became Observable Networks, which Cisco acquired last year. In this episode Patrick explains what sustainable security technology looks like (hint: a lot like Stealthwatch Cloud), how it works, how it fits into the larger Cisco security portfolio, and how it protects "the time and attention of its users."

Ep49: Sustainable Cloud Security, with Patrick Crowley

This is the first episode in the series we're doing at KubeCon Seattle. In it, James explains how his company is jumping from one public cloud to another with the help of Kubernetes. He also covers why they're doing it and shares his top tips for anyone else contemplating such a move.

Please forgive the dodgy audio. I'm working with some new audio equipment, and it may take a couple more shows to iron out the wrinkles.

Ep62: Cloud Jumping, with James Bowes

What do you do when your employer needs you to convert a huge catalog of music into new formats? You jump head-first into Kubernetes and build a scalable environment for executing batch and on-demand encoding workloads. At least that's what these guys did. Find out how they did it, what tools they employed, what they did right, and what they might have done differently. This is Day Two of the KubeCon series.

Ep63: Leigh and John's Excellent Encoding Adventure

Migrating from legacy systems is time consuming, expensive, and risky--even if you're not a company that millions of people depend on for a ride. So what drove Lyft to make the move? How did they do it? And how did they manage to preserve service levels throughout the process? Lita explains it all in Part Three of our KubeCon/CloudNativeCon series.

Ep64: Evolving Legacy Systems to Kubernetes, with Lita Cho

New to Kubernetes? Then Noobernetes is for you. Neependra and Karthik are known for their wildly popular Kubernetes 101 classes on edX and Lynda.com. Today they talk through the ten most common questions they get from students who have taken those classes--as well as their best answers. If you're a Kubernetes noob (or know someone who is) this is the episode for you! This is the fourth episode in the KubeCon series. The links below will take you to some of the resources recommended during the show.

Ep65: Kubernetes for Noobs (Noobernetes 101), with Neependra Khare and Karthik Gaekwad

The grand finale of our KubeCon/CloudNativeCon series features Brandon Philips, CTO of CoreOS at RedHat. In this discussion he gives us the lowdown on newly-admitted CNCF incubator project etcd! Never heard of etcd? Take a few minutes to find out how this project has become an integral part of pretty much all Kubernetes clusters.

Ep66: Brandon Philips on etcd

Agile software development has inadvertently put security in the hands of developers--for better or for worse. Do your developers know this? Do they care? How do you and your security team ensure you're shipping secure software while still moving fast? 

In this episode we'll speak with Guy and Gareth about how we got where we are when it comes to security, which roles developers and the security team should play, and how to build security tools into the developer workflow in a way that is seamless.

Ep96: Embedding security into the development process, with Guy Podjarny and Gareth Rushgrove

Cloud Unfiltered is a series of interviews with the people that are working to move cloud technology and implementation forward. This includes everyone from software engineers and open source project leads to IT executives and cloud users. In these interviews we talk about different cloud architectures, management models, and deployment strategies. We discuss platform compatibility, the culture changes required for cloud success, and the complimentary technologies that are making cloud more powerful with each passing day.
