Show 007 - An Interview with John Stewart
In the seventh episode of The Silver Bullet Podcast, Gary interviews Cisco Chief Security Officer John Stewart. Gary and John discuss what CSOs do all day, how John got started in computer security, and the infamous Morris Worm from 1988 (which John was deeply involved in while a student at Syracuse). John and Gary also revisit Cisco-gate, talk about how John’s identity was stolen, and determine why John’s kids don’t have e-mail addresses.
