WatchGuard Security Week in Review: Episode 15

April 27, 2012 By Corey Nachreiner

Major US Cyber Legislation, VMware Source Code Leak, and Hotmail Hacks

This week’s security news round-up video is full of scary Cyber legislation, major network and organization breaches, and a couple of important security updates. If you’re too busy to follow the barrage of security news every day, let WatchGuard’s Security Week in review video summarize it for you.

Would you rather read? No problem. You’ll find links to all these stories in the reference section.

By the way, this week’s stories continued to develop as I produced this episode. Unfortunately, I had to sneak in a quick video update about the CISPA bill during production. I won’t give it all away, but I can say CISPA is one step closer to reality. Watch below for details. (Episode Runtime: 6:54)
