IT Security and Pynchon Books

[Henry]

The 26th episode of The Silver Bullet Security Podcast features Adam
Shostack, a security expert on Microsoft's Secure Development Lifecycle team
who has also worked for Zero Knowledge and Reflective. Gary and Adam discuss
how Adam got started in computer security, how art/literature informs Adam's
current work, and the main ideas behind Adam's new book The New School of
Information Security. They go on to chat about Adam's aversion to the term
"best practices," the role IEEE Security & Privacy magazine plays in
bringing the science of security to a practical level, and whether the
biggest problem of the CardSystems breach was the following the letter,
rather than the spirit, of PCI. Also on the agenda, duck-billed platypuses,
Kandinski, and books by Pynchon.
