I speak with Corey Quinn about AWS and their recent news headlines related to various breaches amongst other things...

Corey Quinn joins me on today's podcast to talk about AWS and how they've been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. We talk about the shared security model, things we like and may not like so much about AWS, as well as ... chihuahuas? You'll need to listen to get the full story.

A brief look at disaster recovery and how it applies to the cloud.

Disaster recovery is an important part of any security plan you have for your organization. Disaster recovery in the cloud is equally important but is often overlooked. In this episode I take a look at different levels of disaster recover, how to apply them to the cloud and some ideas for defining your own disaster recovery plan.

Looking at the different *aaS solutions, what they are and what the security concerns around them are.

The big three! The "ah-s" or "as-s" if you will. I discuss what IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS are, what they stand for and what security related concerns you should have regarding each one.

I talk about Malware and some protections we can take in preventing its spread.

Today's episode is all about Malware - what can we do to protect ourselves, what are some best practices we can follow, etc. I'm a firm believer that Malware is something we can help curtail if we all do our part in protecting ourselves. The fewer systems there are to infect, the less common it will be.
