Introductions

– Your co-hosts are Andy Willingham and Martin Fisher. Two good, ole boys from the south who are living north of the Mason Dixon Line. Sadly Andy didn’t make it for this episode so Martin is winging it…
– News analysis and general yankee-ness brought to you by Steve Ragan
– Follow us on Twitter (@SFSPodcast) where we’ll be tweeting about new episodes & interviews.
– The podcast is intended to fill the gap between the technical podcasts on security and Security Now. We’ll be focusing on operations, leadership, and news items that you may have missed the week before.
– We want the podcast to be friendly, funny, and make it so you can listen to it with your kids in the car. Nothing against Pauldotcom and Exotic Liability (we listen to them too!) but we wanted to do something a little bit different…
