  Excerpt about Episode 2 from the Network Security Podcast:
  
  

  "I’m getting to talk to a lot of interesting people from parts of our industry that I might never have had access to before, thanks to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams.  This week’s example is Jeff Carpenter the technical manager at the CERT Coordination Center.  Jeff is also one of the people responsible for organizing this year’s FIRST Best Practices Contest.  This year the topic is Detect, which is a topic near and dear to Jeff’s heart, since that’s a large part of what he does in his day to day life.  We talk about last year’s contest, what’s going to be happening at the event in June and what it’s like to work at one of the oldest CERT teams."

• 4/13/2009: Episode 1: Mick Creane, 2009 Program Chair
  
  Excerpt about Episode 1 from the Network Security Podcast:
  
  "The first FIRST podcast is an interview with Mick Creane who is the 2009 FIRST Conference Program Chair.  Mick’s job has been to organize the conference overall and find interesting people to come speak at the event.  He gives us a litttle background into why this year’s topic is “Aftermath: crafts and lessons of incident recovery”.  Many of us think of ‘incident response’ as a computer security issue, but as Mick points out in the podcast, it’s at least as much about the physical recovery after an incident as it is the virtual recovery.  He also talks about some of the folks who’ll be speaking and why it’s so important that an event like this continues to be international, not just US or north american."
