WatchGuard Security Week in Review: Episode 5

February 17, 2012 By Corey Nachreiner

Lots of Patches, Big Nortel Breach, and More Anonymous Shenanigans

Are you ready for another week of software updates, Enterprise breaches, and hacktivist cyber-riots? If so, this week’s episode of WatchGuard Security Week in Review is hot off the NLE system. Watch it below, and tell us what you think in the comments section.

As usual, if you’d rather read then look at my ugly mug, see the Reference section below for links to all these stories. (Video Runtime: 8:50)

NOTE: Due to a rendering problem, the intro music is missing from this video. We will upload a corrected version shortly.
