Gartner IT Expo – WSWiR Episode 80

October 11, 2013 By Corey Nachreiner

Two IE Zero Days, iOS vs. Android, and DNS Hijacking

Today’s weekly InfoSec video comes to you on the road, from Gartner’s IT Expo Symposium.

WatchGuard had a busy week here in Orlando. I spoke on Data Security; we announced and released a new visibility tool called Dimension; and we released XTM Fireware 11.8, which includes a new data loss prevention (DLP) service.

Nonetheless, the show must go on. This week’s quick episode includes info on the latest Microsoft Patch Day, one humorous highlight from the show, a story about a bunch of hijacked security sites, and even a bit of good news. Click play below for the details, and have a great weekend!

(Episode Runtime: 7:51)
