My favorite conversations on Packet Protector are when I learn something, get a better understanding about managing the risks of a technology, and come away feel slightly alarmed. This show on mobile security risks with Akili Akridge & @jjx.therealjj.com hits all 3

@bsideslv.org will always have a special place in my heart. I was there for the first one! Speaking, following Jack around, doing whatever I could to help, taping trash bags to windows to try to keep the heat out. Those were great times!

Aww man
An expensive show with a huge cast, tons of complicated costuming and effects, and extensive location shooting only makes mathematical sense if it’s a megahit, and The Wheel of Time was never a megahit.
It was probably always going to end this way for Amazon’s Wheel of Time show
Opinion: Wider TV trends helped kill a show that was starting to live up to its promise.

I just recorded a special Packet Protector episode with guest co-hosts @subnetwork.bsky.social and @allybrown.bsky.social here at #MFD13.

Analysis of what we saw from 7 vendors this week and talk all things mobility and network security, zero trust, secure by default, and (of course) AI.
