This week I discuss a little bit on the legal side of cybersecurity. As a disclaimer I am not a lawyer and any legal discussion is opinion only and does not constitute any type of legal advice. With that said I cover Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) and if this Facebook and other social media sites should lose their protection under this law. This conversation was prompted by two article I found where the Cisco security research group Talos found open and active criminal groups actively operating on Facebook. Is there any maleficence, negligence, wrongdoing, or straight up misconduct on Facebook’s part? You will have to listen to the episode to find out!

046: A talk about corporate cyber malfeasance, negligence, and wrongdoing

This week marks one year since the show launched. I rounded out the year recording at the 20th Annual CERIAS Security Symposium. This week’s episode I spend doing a bit of year in review and reflection at the beginning of the show. The highlight of this week’s show is my interview with Ray Rothrock the CEO of Red Seal and the opening Keynote for the 2019 CERIAS Security Symposium. Thanks to all of the folks at CERIAS for putting on another great conference. Next week I will bring the rest of the interviews from the conference so stay tuned for those!

048: Day 2 Interviews Live from CERIAS Security Symposium

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been pondering about how our Constitutional rights fit in the construct of this digital age. This week's show I discuss these thoughts out loud for the first time. My thoughts are still a little raw and need to be worked through some more. I felt like it was a good time to speak them out loud to see what made sense and what was just a bunch of hot air. I do think I am on something that can be turned into a very core principle for at least how I view our legal system in this brave new cyber world.
