Just stumbled across this podcast. Really good interview. I am a computer science student at the moment – aspiring to work in the security field – and found this interview quite inspiring. Well done and keep up the good work.

I have been a listener from the first show and for me the Silver Bullet is one of the top security podcasts. The show is always professional and informative. The interview with Eric Cole is no exception. It was great hearing Eric state that while in the past security folks where known for saying “no,” today security is all about saying “yes” in a creative manner. Technology is changing and organizations can’t afford to have IT going around security in order to implement the latest technologies. Security needs to work with business to reduce risk while still being productive. To continue to echo some of your conversation, I agree that security practitioners really need to be creative and able to come up with unique solutions. One of the most important qualities for the security professional is a thirst of knowledge because there are always new problems and issues. Keep up the great discussions.
