Ad: Reality Check Security Podcast

January 6th, 2009

We’re happy to announce the debut of The Reality Check Security Podcast with Gary McGraw:

By contrast, Reality Check is concerned with practical questions centered on running large-scale software security initiatives in the real world.

Reality Check targets experienced leaders working to solve software security problems in large organizations every day. We use a standard script to guide each conversation with questions about history, methodology, best practice, and measurement. We plan to interview leaders of mature software security programs and leaders of programs just getting started.
