StoryCorps @ RSAC: Keep Our Eyes On the Horizon Mar 08, 2017

Show notes

There are more chips being made then there are people on the planet now, Paul Kocher, President and Chief Scientist of the Cryptography Research Division of Rambus, tells RSA CTO Zulfikar Ramzan in this StoryCorps @ RSAC podcast. Technology evolves so quickly that we don’t even know what challenges and threats we may face from what we’re developing now. “To me information security has to co-evolve with the development of information technology,” Ramzan says. “To me this is part of a longer journey with many, many interesting factors.” How can we always keep our eye on the horizon and make sure we are implementing the fundamentals? Where do the challenges of the future lurk, and where can we find inspiration and optimism in the face of adversity? You can hear more of their conversation here.

StoryCorps @ RSAC: The Answer Was You Have a Conference Feb 08, 2017

Show notes

It took a long time for the RSA algorithm to grow from theory to practice – almost 20 years from the time it was invented until it was widely deployed. In this StoryCorps @ RSAC podcast, Jim Bidzos, the founder, CEO and Chairman of Verisign, and former RSA CEO, strolls down memory lane with Burt Kaliski, SVP and CTO of Verisign, and the Founding Scientist of RSA Laboratories. The two discuss the creation of RSA the company and of the RSA Conference, which evolved from a small gathering to a global event that people from the highest levels of industry and government would attend. Along the way, people would contact them telling them they’d found a way to break the RSA algorithm, and would share it for a price. So they created the RSA Factoring Challenge. You can listen to their conversation on the impact of RSA on the connected digital world here.

StoryCorps @ RSAC: The Diversity Question Jan 11, 2017

Show notes

Even as a child, Chris Young, Senior VP and general manager of Intel Security Group, was interested in building. And it was the combination of problem-solving, innovation and building that drew him to technology. On the other hand, “I so didn’t choose it,” Mischel Kwon, president and CEO of MKA Cyber tells him. A chance encounter in a shopping mall, where she was asked to take a test by a computer school, changed her life. They talk about technology as a great equalizer, and how bringing more diverse groups into the cybersecurity fold comes with challenges as our nation talks more openly about its divisive past and as the industry embraces inclusion across class, race and gender lines.

StoryCorps @ RSAC: The Kind of Folks You Run Into Dec 08, 2016

Show notes

What did two cybersecurity luminaries study to get into the industry? Turns out, Bruce Schneier, CTO of Resilient Systems and Hugh Thompson, a member of the RSA Conference Program Committee, took very different paths to where they are today. Thompson came from the world of math, and Schneier moved through rolls in startups and government and has wound up at Harvard University, as a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. “I find that now, being able to be in such a heady soup of smart people doing things that I never thought would be interesting, and having it affect what I’m doing is absolutely fricking fantastic,” Schneier tells Thompson. “The best compliment I ever get is when someone says you changed the way I think,” he says.
