Customer Reviews
Great podcast
I make sure I pause any other podcast and listen to Steve. Great wealth of knowledge and simple to understand. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Truly significant material
I have been listening to Security Now for probably a decade. Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte in Security Now represent more than a weekly news update, and more than clear technical instruction and advice which of course are also present. Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte have created an historically important body of work that represents ethics, value, best practice, and dare I say philosophy which are of vital importance. If someone had recently come to earth, they could be forgiven for thinking that all humans are merely thoughtless cowboy coders creating endless spaghetti western code without higher level conscious awareness of reality. Even universities are infamously poor at teaching how to code responsibly in the real world. But Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte are living proof that many people are both caring and intelligent and working hard to do things in the right way for present and future generations. Words cannot convey the depth of my gratitude.
Getting less technical with every show
This used to be a great podcast; very informative and educational about computer security. Increasing time is spent with the hosts opining on topics outside computer security and quite frankly outside their expertise. Stay in your lane!
