RSA 2013: Big Data, Chinese APT, and User Awareness
This week’s InfoSec news video comes from the 2013 RSA Security Conference in San Francisco. As such, much of the episode covers the major themes from the show flow. However, cyber attackers don’t take a break just because the security industry is having a pow-wow. I also cover other big stories from the week, including an emergency Flash update, a cPanel breach, new nation-state malware, and even an HTML5 trick than can fill you hard drive. Check out the episode below.
As always, feel free to browse the Reference section for more details on any of these stories, and thanks for watching. Comment if you have any suggestions.
