On this week’s show Patrick and Adam discuss the week’s security news, including:
- Inside the new American “e2ee busting” bill
- Julian Assange hit with (another) superseding indictment
- Trustwave uncovers sneaky Chinese accounting software backdoor
- Much, much more…
This week’s show is brought to you by Okta. They are, of course, the identity and auth giant and one of the few sponsors we actually approached last year for 2020 because, well, they are very good at what they do. This week Marc will be joining us to talk about a privacy-related topic. The discussion is nuanced, but it’s basically about how the public perception of privacy risks has diverged from the reality/ Further, that the COVID-19 crisis and the advent of digital contact tracing apps have actually brought general concerns around digital privacy to the fore.
