Stormy with a chance of runZero

|
Updated

Well, that was fun!

It's the the dawn of a new era in mid-week, mid-morning infosec gossip and shop talk! Today, Tod Beardsley, runZero's newly-minted VP of Research (that's me!), joined the crew of gobby experts featured on GreyNoise Intelligence's Storm⚡️Watch. We talked mostly about the Veracode, Dragos, and Huntress research reports, and you can catch the show notes over at the GreyNoise blog.

If you're unaware, Storm⚡️Watch is a weekly webcast and podcast where experts from GreyNoise, Censys, VulnCheck, and runZero get together to discuss, break down, and make bad puns about cybersecurity, information security, vulnerabilities, exploits, online scams, and all the rest.

Best of all, it's live streamed on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitch, and the chat is open. I've been a fan of this show for well over a year, specifically because it's so interactive and fun, so I'm super stoked to be able to hang out with my internet pals and try, desperately, to find the silver linings in the week's cyber storm clouds.

Check it out live on Tuesdays at 10:30am Boston / 9:30am Austin / 8:30am Idaho Falls / 7:30am Santa Cruz on your favorite video streaming services, or shortly after on your podcast app of choice. (Sadly, you'll have to search for "Storm Watch" without the ⚡️ emoji, but it should be the first hit.)

And if you don't happen to catch Tod on the next episode, never fear, you'll have your chance on the next runZero Hour, our own monthly webcast, featuring the beloved Rob King. Oh yes. That's going to be a blast, so get your registration in pronto. :)
