WatchGuard Security Podcasts and Columns
From 2000-2006, David Piscitello was a member of WatchGuard Technologies' LiveSecurity Advisory Council. During his tenure, he wrote a monthly column for WatchGuard LiveSecurity, a service that allows subscribers to stay current on security issues. CoreCom's Lisa Phifer also wrote an occasional LiveSecurity column. In 2007, we started to record segments for WatchGuard's Radio Free Security podcasts. Here, we republish those materials, with WatchGuard's permission.
