Show 037 – An Interview with Virgil Gligor
On the 37th episode of The Silver Bullet Security Podcast, Gary interviews Virgil Gligor, Professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and co-director of CyLab. Gary and Virgil discuss how information security has changed over the last 35 years, why software security will be with us forever, and how Virgil’s childhood in Romania has shaped his views on security. They close out with a discussion of Virgil’s breakfast-eating habits.

At 11.42 you mention an Anderson bemoaning that software security is a fad. Which Anderson was that? John P.? Ross? Someone else?

Morrie Gasser’s book is also available (free) at http://www.acsac.org/secshelf/book002.html and http://nucia.ist.unomaha.edu/dspace/documents/gasserbook.pdf (although the figures are missing).
It’s not 100% identical to the published book, but the price is right. Morrie graciously granted ACSAC permission to make this book available as a public service. Thanks also to Blaine Burnham and his team at University of Nebraska, Omaha, who did the conversion from a very obsolete markup language to a modern format.

hi adam,
It was certainly not Ross, although in my mind he is “the” Anderson. I seem to have lost the guy’s name in my huge pile of contacts. You might trawl for it through the link I posted on the cylab commemnt above.
Sorry to be obtuse! I have been on the road for 2 weeks and have 3 days left to go.
