A little delay in production as we try to work through some “static” issues – episode 16 was unsalvageable due to static (nothing changed in our set-up but got a lot of static/feedback on 16). We are looking into possibly transcribing that show so you don’t miss it. Until then please enjoy Espidode 17 “Yottabyte – yo thats a lot of data”

Topics
- The new NSA data center -http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/
some questions I thought would be good for discussion: 1. Why are they allowing the building of this to be so public? 2. What will they actually store there? 3. should we be worried (where is the tinfoil) 3. should other nations be worried? 4. where is the back data center? - There has been some good articles about breaches released recently and would like to discuss them as a group.

- Given these trends how should, if at all, a corporation change their security posture to protect against them.
