Episode 3 of An Information Security Place Podcast
on June 13, 2006 at 7:32 pmI just finished recording the third episode of An Information Security Place Podcast. It is considerably longer than the previous podcasts, mainly because I talk about multiple subjects rather than just one of my posts, and I expound a little more than usual. If you have comments, suggestions, gripes, complaints (if I make your ears bleed with my incessant droning), please let me know.
In this episode, I talk about a few things. The first thing I talk about is the ongoing discussion Martin McKeay and I are having on the NSA spying. My previous post goes into Martin’s argument about how HUMINT is more effective than phone tapping. As he points out in his announcement of episode 31 of his podcast, the ball is in his court.
I also go into virtualized appliances and some of the discussion Alan Shimel and Chris Hoff are having (go read Chris Hoff’s “smackdown” posts – quite the read!).
I talk about my practical advice post and what it takes to sell security to execs. Thanks to Mike Rothman for linking to that article, BTW.
And finally I talk quickly about my general annoyance of why people can’t spell “HIPAA” correctly.
So take a listen and let me know what you think. I need some feedback on quality of content and quality of sound. I don’t have a hookup like Martin has, so I need to know how this sounds like this, or if I need to start some investing.
Also, I have created a podcast archive area on my right toolbar (I only have one, but it IS on the right) for easy access.

Alan,
Thanks for the feedback. Martin has told me in past podcasts that the volume was too low. I have to figure out how to record at a higher volume. I am using a Logitech USB headset, which seems to work really well. I am using Adobe Audition for the recording and editing. I am guessing there is a setting in there to turn up the recording volume. I will work on it.
I would be happy to do a podcast with you soon. I’ll shoot you an email and we can get some times worked out.

Michael – listened to your podcast, the quality of your voice sounds great, but the volume was low and on my laptop I could not make it louder. Anyway, the content was good too. Looks like a lot of security podcasts starting up. Maybe we can do one together soon?
