Audio: Breaking up the NSA
Almost a year and a half after the Snowden revelations, it’s business as usual for America’s giant global eavesdropping and spying organisation: the NSA, the National Security Agency.
As revelations continue to unfold, legislative attempts to rein in the NSA’s powers appear to be stalling. But, Harvard University security analyst Bruce Schneier says the situation is unacceptable.
In the future, argues Schneier, people will look back at the way we ignore privacy today and ask “how could we be that immoral?” He’s put forward his own plan for breaking -up the NSA, and in so doing, bringing its activities under greater civilian control…
Video: Bruce Schneier Talks Data-Mining, Surveillance & Embedded Computing Systems
Erin Ade talks to Bruce Schneier about the efforts of government and private companies to track us and our personal information. However, our outrage over this invasion of privacy is overshadowed by the convenience of using technology.

Video: Incident Response Management Breaking New Ground
Bruce Schneier is one of the best-known security professionals both within the field and in the larger world of technology policymaking. He’s written 12 books, produces the influential "Schneier on Security" blog and is widely quoted in the press. After a multi-year stint at BT Managed Security Solutions, Schneier has moved to a startup: Co3 Systems. The new company, where he serves as Chief Technology Officer, makes a tool that focuses specifically on security incident response management.
"It’s software that allows companies to coordinate their response," Schneier says. "You put in your response plan—or if you don’t have one, it generates best practices. It knows the laws; it knows the regulations. You tell it who does what. And when an incident happens, it generates tasks, it follows up on them, and it makes sure that everything that’s supposed to get done gets done."…

Audio: Bruce Schneier talks about the Shift of Power on the Internet
‘’It’s only metadata’ is a mischaracterization that plays into goverment hands.’—Bruce Schneier
At the 2014 Source Conference in Boston, I was able to sit down with Bruce Schneier after his keynote to clarify his position on several topics he brought up. The Twitter stream was on fire during his presentation as he described how the power of government and large corporations affects the internet. Where are the boundaries between personal data and corporate/government usage of that data? What is our responsibility in the equation?
An interesting observation from Bruce is that despite the government’s insistence that they are only collecting metadata, which according to them has no intrinsic value, that presupposes metadata is somehow less important or less personal when it comes to interrogating the data. This despite that it can be used to generate a network of contacts such as …
Audio: Google Moves to Take Back the Net from Spying Eyes
News emerged this week that web giant Google is routinely encrypting web searches conducted in China in a move designed to offset the national government’s ability to censor the Internet and track what individuals are viewing. The Google move is part of a global expansion of privacy technology to counter surveillance by government intelligence agencies, police and hackers and is seen as a direct consequence of whistleblower, Edward Snowden’s release last year of US National Security Agency (NSA) documents exposing the extent of government surveillance of the Internet…
