Looking at the different *aaS solutions, what they are and what the security concerns around them are. The big three! The "ah-s" or "as-s" if you will.

I talk about Malware and some protections we can take in preventing its spread. Today's episode is all about Malware - what can we do to protect ourselves, what are some best practices we can follow, etc. I'm a firm believer that Malware is something we can help curtail if we all do our part in protecting ourselves. The fewer systems there are to infect, the less common it will be.

Taking a look at IDSs, what they are, how they work and how they relate to cloud security. In this week's podcast I take a look at Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs), what they are, what they do, how they work and how they fit into a cloud security model. I went a bit long on this one but I think it's necessary given the breadth of this topic.
