The All Things Auth Podcast
Conor Gilsenan
Every 2 weeks, Conor Gilsenan hosts a conversation with creators, researchers, founders, and advocates who are working to improve the usability of security and privacy technologies. Guests share what they are currently working on, how they got to where they are today, who they are trying to help, and what keeps them motivated to overcome challenges along the way. The goal is for the rest of us to learn from their experiences and go on to promote usable security and privacy within our own projects and organizations.
