Earlier today I spoke at the Linux World Open Solutions Summit. This was a verbal interview that LinuxWorld did for me in advance of my talk, transcribed.
Here’s a short interview I did for Information Week.
Rebecca Blood interviewed me for her “Bloggers on Blogging” series.
Gary McGraw interviewed me for his Silver Bullet Security Podcast.
I was interviewed on the subject of RFID passports.
I was interviewed by Martin McKeay.
Minnesota Public Radio interviewed me while wandering around Minneapolis, looking for cameras and other forms of mass surveillance.
In December, I gave a long interview to a literary magazine called Turnrow. That interview was finally published, and it’s even better than I remembered.
There’s some good stuff in this interview.
There’s enough blame for everyone.
Blame the users who don’t secure their systems and applications.
Blame the vendors who write and distribute insecure shovel-ware.
Blame the sleazebags who make their living infecting innocent people with spyware, or sending spam.
Blame Microsoft for producing an operating system that is bloated and has an ineffective permissions model and poor default configurations.
Blame the IT managers who overrule their security practitioners’ advice and put their systems at risk in the interest of convenience. Etc.
Truly, the only people who deserve a complete helping of blame are the hackers. Let’s not forget that they’re the ones doing this to us. They’re the ones who are annoying an entire planet. They’re the ones who are costing us billions of dollars a year to secure our systems against them. They’re the ones who place their desire for fun ahead of everyone on earth’s desire for peace and [the] right to privacy.
This is an interview with me from ITConversations.
