You open the flash animation, click click click, answer 10 security questions that your 5 year old could answer, get your certificate of completion... congratulations, you checked the compliance box...
But what did you learn in that training? If you can't remember the next day, maybe it's because the training failed to resonate with you?
Have you ever heard red team #pentester say that the weakest link in any business is not the applications, or the hardware, but the people? If they can't find a vulnerability, the last vulnerability is the people. One email with a poisoned .docx, and you have a shell into a system...

Here is a new episode of Brakeing Down Security Podcast!

Kevin Johnson Interview parts 1 and 2

It's been almost 3 months since we had the pleasure of interviewing Kevin Johnson, CEO of SecureIdeas. We haven't conducted a ton of interviews, but it was very interesting to get his perspective on security, and being in his SEC542 class was a great experience.

He has since quit teaching for SANS, but he is still doing training at other conventions now, many of those classes involve the newest versions of SamuraiWTF and Burp CO2, the new add-on for Burp.

He has another class he is teaching with James Jardine in Orlando July 14th-17th, 2014. More Info Here

If you are in Orlando, you should take this course. Much cheaper than you'd probably get at SANS, and probably just as instructive.

If you'd like to hear our two part interview we did with Kevin Johnson, you can find them below

Part 1 Part 2

Have a great holiday weekend, and if you find yourself without anything to do, feel free to grab our other podcasts and have a listen!
