As I mentioned previously, I was a live participant in episode 209 of the PaulDotCom Security Weekly last week. The show is now up online for listening:

I come in after the first commercial break for about 20 minutes.

It was fun to do and I thank Paul for the opportunity to come on the show and talk about the book and unified communications security in general.

P.S. I can tell I did the interview late in the evening after a long day… please try NOT to count the number of “and… uh…”‘s that I said at the beginning of the interview. 🙁

Tomorrow night (Sept 2, 2010) I’ll be appearing live as one of two guests on episode 209 of the PaulDotCom Security Weekly podcast . My part will be about a 15-20 minute segment toward the beginning where the crew will interview me about the book, UC Security, etc.  I’ll then give the “Tech Segment” of the show where I’ll talk about some of the specific tools that can be used to attack and defend Unified Communications systems. You can then stick around to hear Josh Wright from InGuardians discuss wireless security issues. Should be a good show!

We’ll also be giving away a free copy of “Seven Deadliest Unified Communications Attacks” to one of the live listeners.

You can listen live – and potentially win the free copy of the book – by visiting the web page for the episode:

You can watch the video streamed live from the PaulDotCom studio and also participate in the IRC chat room to ask questions, join in the discussion, etc.

The show will be recorded live on Thursday, September 2nd, 2010, starting at 7:30pm US Eastern time.

I will be remote, so I will not be seen in the live video stream you’ll see on the web page.

The show will also be available for listening later.

Live shows are always “interesting” to do because there’s no editing out mistakes…  if you’re stumbling for an answer, well, everyone hears that!  You have to be really focused and on your game.  I find them fun to do, personally, but then again, I’m warped enough to have always enjoyed press conferences back when those kind of events were actually held. 🙂

Come on over and join us tomorrow night – it should be fun!

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Carl Weinschenk about UC Security and the book.  The resulting interview is now available on his Unified Communications Edge blog for your listening:

Podcast: Protecting Unified Communications

Carl and I had a great discussion about what makes unified communications security different and what businesses need to do – or don’t need to do – to prepare for securing UC systems. We also discussed some of the security advantages of UC and covered a range of related topics.

It was an enjoyable interview to do and I thank Carl for the opportunity to engage in the discussion!

Last week I spoke with Eric Krapf, lead editor of the No Jitter site, about the book and this week he published a very nice article: “Interview: Dan York and the 7 Deadliest UC Attacks” In the article, he recaps the 7 areas of attack I outline in the book, links to articles on No Jitter that support some of the attacks… and also says some very kind things about me.

Thanks, Eric, for your kind words and for writing this article.
