Podcasts about firewalls

What would you do with a year devoted to getting good at one thing? Ravi Gupta, good friend of the pod, is back on Firewall to talk about his new book, The Invisible List, in which he argues for chasing one new passion every year, no matter how busy or stuck you feel. He and Bradley talk about tennis as a midlife balm, the surprising difficulty of making risotto, the secret greatness of Western New York, dinner parties where every guest confesses a meaningful failure and why hobbies are cool. "Hobbies," says Gupta, "are how you meet your friends, your significant others. It's how you inspire your kids. It's how you show your wife or your husband that you're sexy."This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City's only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today's episode: info@firewall.media.Subscribe to Bradley's weekly newsletter and follow Bradley on Linkedin + Substack.

In this podcast, Eli Paster, CEO of Polyjoule, discussed polymer-based battery technology and how it differs from conventional metal-based batteries. Eli explained that Polyjoule uses conductive polymers instead of lithium, nickel, cobalt, lead, or sodium, synthesizing its own conductive polymers from abundant hydrocarbon feedstocks. Eli detailed the safety advantages of polymer-based batteries, including the inability to enter thermal runaway, and demonstrated this by cutting open a cell and applying a blowtorch for five minutes with no fire. Sean and Eli explored potential applications in residential energy storage, building codes, and the possibility of Polyjoule batteries being rated as firewalls.   Topics Covered: Polymer-Based Battery Conductive Polymers Hydrocarbon Feedstock Monomers and Polymers Polyacetylene PVC = Polyvinyl Chloride Lithium-Ion Battery LFP = Lithium Iron Phosphate NMC = Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide NCA = Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide Sodium-Ion Battery Solid-State Battery Lead Acid Battery Thermal Runaway Short Circuit Arc Flash Battery Separator Electrochemistry Anode and Cathode Electrolyte Prismatic Cells Depth of Discharge Nominal Voltage Energy Density Round Trip Efficiency Schneider Electric UPS = Uninterruptible Power Supply UL 1973 UL 9540A IRC = International Residential Code NEC = National Electrical Code EV Auxiliary Battery Hybrid Battery Systems Hydrogen Fuel Cells   Reach out to Eli Paster here: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/elipaster Website: www.polyjoule.com Email: eli.paster@polyjoule.com   Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean's classes at www.heatspring.com/sean solarsean.com/intro solarsean.com/pvip solarsean.com/pva solarsean.com/pvds solarsean.com/esip solarsean.com/omat solarsean.com/center

In this episode, we discuss Xi's upcoming visit to the U.S. next week. Will there be a breakthrough on critical minerals? Is AI regulation on the agenda, and where is the AI race between the two countries heading? Next, is everything coming up roses for the Far Right in Europe? We examine the far right's AfD's victory in local German elections and what it means for the future of Europe. Finally, oil prices are rising sharply. What is behind the surge?

Cyber and Operational Risk in the Quantum Era: Financial Stability amid Escalating Geopolitical ConflictThis panel took place at the 2026 International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group Spring Meetings.Financial stability is under fire as geopolitics and cyber risk collide. As global tensions intensify and technological capabilities accelerate, financial institutions face a rapidly evolving threat landscape where cyber operations, financial crime, and state-sponsored actors are increasingly intertwined. From ransomware campaigns and sanctions evasion to sophisticated cyber intrusions targeting critical infrastructure, adversaries are exploiting digital systems and global financial networks in new and complex ways.As these threats continue to evolve, the quantum horizon introduces an additional layer of strategic risk. This executive panel will examine how advances in quantum computing could reshape cyber and operational risk across the financial sector, while also considering the growing convergence between cyber-enabled crime, ransomware payments, sanctions evasion, and global illicit finance networks. Leaders from policy, finance, and technology will explore the implications of quantum-enabled decryption, the expanding links between cyber threats and illicit finance, and the operational vulnerabilities that could undermine confidence in critical financial infrastructure.The discussion focused on how institutions and regulators can strengthen resilience, enhance cross-border coordination, and prepare for a future in which emerging technologies, cyber conflict, ransomware, and financial crime increasingly intersect. The panel explored what these developments mean for international efforts to combat cyber-enabled financial crime and how global standards bodies, national authorities, and financial institutions can strengthen cooperation to protect the integrity and resilience of the international financial system.Opening Remarks:Cindy Termorshuizen, Deputy Minister of International Development, Government of CanadaPanelists:Giles Thomson, Director, Economic Crime and Sanctions, His Majesty's Treasury; Incoming President, FATFStefan Ingves, Chair, Toronto Centre; Former Governor, Sveriges RiksbankMichele Mosca, Professor, Institute for Quantum Computing, University of WaterlooModerator:Jennifer Elliott, Assistant Director, Monetary and Capital Markets, IMF; Board Member, Toronto CentreWatch the executive panel session here.Read the transcript here.

What if the greatest battles aren't fought in the physical world... but in consciousness itself? In this episode, Brandon sits down with Vijak, author of Spiritual Firewall, to explore the controversial intersection of metaphysics, consciousness, psychic influence, and the unseen forces that may shape our everyday lives. The discussion dives into ancient spiritual traditions, the concept of a hidden "control grid," psychic defense, and whether modern society has lost knowledge that civilizations once considered essential. Vijak explains why he believes consciousness extends far beyond the brain, how intuition and synchronicity may reveal unseen realities, and why developing discernment is more important than blind belief. They also discuss spiritual warfare, intrusive thoughts, psychic influence, egregores, meditation, ancient wisdom traditions, modern skepticism, and whether today's information landscape is affecting us on both psychological and metaphysical levels. Whether you view these ideas as philosophy, psychology, or genuine spiritual phenomena, this conversation challenges listeners to question how much of reality exists beyond what we can see.

Why do even people with deep faith, tremendous spiritual awareness, and sincere desire to do the right thing still fall prey to the Yetzer Hara? Rav Dessler identifies a subtle opening that can turn even a moment of uncertainty or distraction into something far more dangerous. In this episode of Strive for Truth, Rabbi Michael Cohen and I explore how that opening develops, why it becomes especially powerful when we are worried about the future, and what this teaches us about the role Torah is meant to play in protecting our choices, our focus, and ultimately the direction of our lives. Join the Conversation! Be part of our growing community—join the Shema Podcast for the Perplexed WhatsApp group to share feedback, discuss episodes, and suggest future topics.

After a vote this weekend, the far right could take power in a part of Germany for the first time since WWII. Alternative for Germany, or AfD, is far ahead in the polls in a state election in Saxony-Anhalt. They're promising massive changes to immigration, education, and what they call "patriotic cultural policy." Their rise is testing the country's firewall strategy, which was designed to stop parties seen as extremist from gaining power. CBC's Jessica Singer speaks with guest host Jason Markusoff about her reporting from the region in the run-up to the election.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Lesley Swann, Human Risk Manager at Baker Donelson, joins us to explore what it really takes to change security behavior in a fourteen-hundred-person law firm. Lesley shares how she moved from IT technician to security engineer to building the firm's human risk program from scratch, and why she believes the real us-versus-them in security is the team and its employees versus the threat actors, not each other. We talk about psychological safety, generational communication, gamified training, and why empathy is a security skill.

A retired military veteran in China shares how many of his colleagues have learned to circumvent the internet firewalls in China and learn the truth about Falun Dafa. Many of these high ranking officials have not only quit the Chinese Communist Party as a result of being exposed to the truth, but many have also gone on to help expose the evil of the persecution.

Mostly Film – Take 247: Harrison Ford In Review — Episode 5BAn honest accounting of a difficult stretch. Jonathan and JP cover the long middle — eleven years, three films, roughly $165 million combined box office on budgets totalling nearly $180 million. None of them hits.First, K-19: The Widowmaker. The most defensible of the three — a genuinely ambitious film directed by Kathryn Bigelow, edited by Walter Murch, shot by David Fincher's cinematographer, based on a true Soviet nuclear disaster that was classified for 28 years. Ford was paid $25 million for approximately 20 days of filming and was advised by everyone around him not to take the role. He took it anyway, specifically because Vostrikov wasn't a hero. The surviving crew members sent an open letter objecting to the film. It opened to $12 million domestically on a $90 million budget, ten months after September 11, asking American audiences to empathise with Soviet naval officers. Bigelow's next film was The Hurt Locker, which won her the Oscar. The character of Polenin is based on the man many historians believe prevented World War Three during the Cuban Missile Crisis the following year.Then Firewall. The same Beacon Pictures team that made Air Force One tried to recapture that film's formula. They did not succeed. Ford was found sitting on the airport baggage carousel during a Vancouver shoot, going around in circles on his phone. Virginia Madsen thought his personal voicemail offering her the role was a prank call and didn't return it. Paul Bettany kept being told his punches were too soft until he finally hit Ford at full strength — Ford's response was "that's it." 18% on Rotten Tomatoes. The premise is stronger than the execution. The dog GPS sequence near the end is as bad as advertised.Then Paranoia. Ford in a supporting role behind Liam Hemsworth, reunited with Gary Oldman sixteen years after Air Force One with the dynamic inverted. 5% on Rotten Tomatoes — lower than Catwoman. Opened to $3.5 million domestically. Oldman didn't attend the premiere. The distributor filed for bankruptcy two years later. Jason Hall co-wrote the screenplay and went on to write American Sniper the following year. Richard Dreyfuss appears in a small role and his scenes with Ford are the warmest thing in the film, which tells you everything.Between 2002 and 2013 Ford made eight films outside of Star Wars and Indiana Jones. None of them worked. The question for the episode: was the decline inevitable, or were there different choices available? And is the commercial disappearance of Harrison Ford the movie star the same thing as the disappearance of Harrison Ford the actor?

**New episode drops Friday, August 21**ENCORE PRESENTATION Back in January 2001, six influential Alberta conservatives sent then premier Ralph Klein the now famous 'firewall letter.' Under the heading 'Alberta Agenda,' the letter proposed withdrawing from the Canada Pension Plan, establishing a provincial police force, bypassing the Canada Revenue Agency in favour of the province collecting its own income tax, and Senate reform. These ideas were seen as fringe. Extremist even. But with the passage of time, some of the key measures in the firewall letter have influenced conservative policy in Alberta, and are now being set in motion 25 years later by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.This week, West of Centre host Kathleen Petty gets the inside story on the firewall letter, straight from two of its signatories. Ted Morton, an executive fellow at the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy and a former PC cabinet minister; and Ken Boessenkool, a longtime policy advisor who worked with former prime minister Stephen Harper (credited as the catalyst for the letter, and another one of its six signatories).These insiders describe how the hostile reaction to the letter came as a surprise, as the ideas contained in the letter were things other provinces were already doing. They talk about the visceral reaction 25 years ago to the word 'firewall,' and how it came to be added to the letter. And how the nine questions on a referendum that Albertans will vote on in the fall is seen as 'anti-firewall letter.'Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: Ken Boessenkool, Ted MortonProducer: Diane Yanko

This week we are joined by Michael Collins, Principal Consulting Solutions Architect at Barracuda, to explain what a web application firewall (WAF) is and how it differs from a network firewall. Along with Nate, CIT's Director of Cybersecurity, we explore how WAFs help defend websites, web apps, and APIs against threats like injection, bot attacks, brute force attempts, and DDoS, especially as AI “vibe coding” leads to insecure public-facing applications. The episode covers choosing basic vs enterprise-grade WAF protection based on business criticality and sensitive data, tuning to reduce false positives using detect vs block modes and staged deployment, visibility into daily attacks, geofencing and IP blocking, and how WAFs support compliance efforts like PCI and HIPAA as part of a broader security strategy.00:27 What Is a WAF03:58 Defining Web Apps07:41 APIs and Vibe Coding Risks11:12 Choosing the Right WAF14:31 Tuning and False Positives20:52 Onboarding Detect to Block28:06 Compliance and Regulations31:48 Visibility and Geofencing38:13 DDoS Story and Wrap Up42:54 Testing and Deployment Options46:35 Final Thanks and CTACheck out more from Barracuda

Episode #573: “I brought you here to the United States not so you could forget our homeland,” Salih Hudayar remembers his father telling him, “but so you could become educated and one day return to liberate our people and our country from the Chinese occupation.” Hudayar, now Foreign Minister of the East Turkistan Government in Exile, traces his political life to that instruction. Born in 1993 near Kashgar, he grew up amid tightening state control and left for the United States as a child after his father fled repression. He situates the current crisis within a longer history that includes two short-lived East Turkistan republics before Communist consolidation in 1949. He describes a post-2009 escalation of surveillance, detention, and forced labor under the banner of counterterrorism. Citing Chinese government documents and satellite imagery, he argues that mass internment, religious repression, family separation, and demographic engineering amount to genocide. Now based in Washington DC, Hudayar presses U.S. lawmakers to move beyond condemnation. Recognition of genocide, he says, is not enough without confronting what he calls the root problem of colonial rule. Running a government in exile, dispersed across continents and sustained by diaspora donations, requires coordination, discipline, and constant vigilance against external pressure. Myanmar surfaces repeatedly in the interview as both comparison and caution. Hudayar draws parallels between the Rohingya genocide case and his own effort to bring a complaint before the International Criminal Court, noting that the Rohingya precedent shaped the jurisdictional argument he pursued. He also references Myanmar's strategic importance to China's Belt and Road Initiative, particularly access to the western coast and energy corridors that could reduce Beijing's vulnerability in the Strait of Malacca. At a broader level, he frames the Uyghur and Myanmar struggles as linked by geography and power politics—both situated along China's periphery, both affected by Beijing's economic leverage and security influence, and both navigating how global powers respond when human rights concerns collide with strategic interests.

Tech commentator Tony Grasso details the 'Fortibleed' operation that used botnets for an attack against internet-facing FortiGate firewalls, compromising 86,000 devices across 194 countries. He also detail a cloud token supply chain cascade, where market intelligence platform Klue was targeted and many big security companies hit. Security researchers have found big vulnerabilities in industrial HVAC systems - meaning hackers could remotely shut down cooling or power grids inside commercial data centres. And the NZ National Cyber Security Centre confirmed a breach that impacted Canvas Learning, impacting NZ universities and high schools. Cybersecurity expert Tony Grasso is Chief Information Security officer at COGENT. He worked at GCHQ in the UK and is a former Intelligence Officer in New Zealand.

The 2026 Verizon DBIR has arrived and the results are in... Even with a substantial increase in Exploitation of Vulnerabilities, All Credential Abuse is still the top initial access vector for breaches, which means the human is still the weakest link. Why haven't security awareness training and phishing campaigns worked? Robert Siciliano, Architect of of The Strategic Human Firewall™ at ProtectNow, joins Business Security Weekly to explore why humans, not hackers, are the ultimate deciding factor in organizational security. The industry needs to shift from security awareness to security appreciation. Robert will discuss: How you can build a culture that actually protects your people, your data, and your operations in an era of AI deception. Why most companies are still performing 'Security Theater'—checking boxes and hoping for the best—instead of driving genuine behavior change. How Trust and Denial quietly fuel most disasters, why interactive training is the only way to make the lessons stick, and how leaders can scale this entire framework without needing a Hollywood budget.

For years, cybersecurity leaders have focused on identity as the new perimeter. MFA, Zero Trust, SSO, and identity protection became the center of modern security strategies.But while everyone was focused on identity, attackers never stopped targeting something much older: internet-facing infrastructure.VPNs. Firewalls. Remote access appliances.Recent attacks involving Check Point, Fortinet, Ivanti, SonicWall, and others show that the perimeter never really disappeared.In this episode, Tyler Moffitt discusses why edge devices remain prime ransomware targets, why patch windows matter more than ever, and why vulnerability management remains one of cybersecurity's most important fundamentals.As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts  Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking PodcastsThis list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!Follow or subscribe to the show on your preferred podcast platform.Share the show with others in the cybersecurity world.Get in touch via reimaginingcyber@gmail.com

As enterprises expand across multiple cloud environments, on-premise data centers, and dynamic AI workloads, traditional perimeter defenses and siloed cloud-native tools are no longer enough to secure the modern network. In this episode, Ashish sits down with Murali Rathinasamy, Senior Director of Product at Cisco, to break down the next evolution of network security: the Hybrid Mesh Firewall. Murali explains why relying solely on cloud-native firewalls can create visibility gaps, and how unified policy orchestration allows security teams to manage enforcement points seamlessly. He shares a real-world case study of how Multicloud Defense is used to eliminate manual route table configurations and achieve zero-downtime, blue-green upgrades. The conversation also tackles micro-segmentation. Murali breaks down why segmentation initiatives usually stall in "analysis paralysis" and provides a practical, agentless roadmap to reduce your attack surface "one bite at a time".

There is a moment in every conversation about cybercrime when the criminal stops being a shadow and becomes a person with a desk, a calendar, and a complaint about Monday. That moment is the one that interests me. For years I've been told cybersecurity is a technical problem. Firewalls, patches, acronyms nobody outside the room understands. And it is, partly. But sit with Geoff White for fifteen minutes at InfoSecurity Europe and the technical layer becomes what it always was underneath: people. People who get out of bed, argue with their partners, drink too much vodka after a breakup, and worry about a grandmother in the hospital — while running an extortion racket that, somewhere else, is shutting down the hospital treating someone else's grandmother. Geoff is an investigative journalist and author who has built a career out of refusing to let crime stay abstract. His new BBC series, Cyber Hack — the strand that grew out of The Lazarus Heist — turns its attention to one of the world's biggest ransomware gangs, Conti. And here is the detail that stayed with me: he has read their mail. Three hundred thousand internal messages, leaked, written by the criminals themselves when they assumed no one was watching. A journalist's candy store, as he called it. Also a nightmare — in Russian, thick with slang, mistranslated so often that “Bitcoin” comes out as “cue ball” and money hides behind the word for “grandmothers.” What fascinates me is not the heist. It is the self-portrait. Because the gang does not see a gang. They see a company. They have clients, they say. Customers. Negotiations conducted professionally. Some of them even hand the victim a report afterward — here is how we got in, here is what you should fix — as though extortion were a security audit with an invoice attached. Geoff has a theory I find hard to argue with: extortion is exhausting work for a smart person to do every day, so the brain quietly rewrites the job description. Criminal becomes businessman. The part that knows the truth shrinks. The story they tell themselves takes over. I'm Italian, so of course The Godfather arrived uninvited in the middle of our conversation. It's a business. Nothing personal. We laughed — I get to make that joke and Geoff doesn't — but underneath the laugh is something genuinely unsettling, and it has nothing to do with hackers. It's about all of us. We are all narrating ourselves into the people we'd prefer to be. The ransomware gang simply does it with higher stakes and worse intentions. This is why storytelling isn't decoration on top of cybersecurity. It's the only tool that makes the invisible visible. Geoff's last BBC series landed at number seven on the US charts, a few slots below Joe Rogan, because he tells these stories as stories — with the technical iceberg sitting safely below the waterline. People learn when they aren't being lectured. And we should learn, quickly. The same week I'm laughing about cue balls, Geoff describes cloning his own mother's voice with an AI tool and phoning her. She thought the line was just a little muffled. I told him what I tell my parents: if anything feels strange, hang up and call me directly. A pre-digital instinct, used as armor against a very digital trick. So what do we carry forward, and what do we leave behind? We carry the stories. We leave behind the comfortable idea that any of this is happening somewhere else, to someone else. The new season of Cyber Hack is expected in July. Listen to it — not because it will scare you, though it might, but because it makes a hidden world legible, and legibility is where every defense we have begins.

Most independent practice owners know the practice and their personal life are supposed to be separate. Separate entities, separate accounts, separate tax returns. Almost none of them have built the structural separation that makes that true when things get hard. EP185 covers the three systems that explain why one bad quarter in the practice becomes a personal financial event, and the firewall that stops it. System 1 — The Entanglement: No formal salary. No distribution schedule. Whatever is left in the business account goes home with the owner. In a good month: $40,000. Mortgage, 529, investment contribution. In a bad month: $14,000, covered with personal savings. The savings account does not come back as fast as the practice does. System 2 — The Bad Quarter Multiplier: The cascade that runs from a billing disruption straight through to the owner's personal financial decisions. Collections drop. Distribution skipped. Mortgage still goes out. Investment contribution paused. Operational decisions made under financial stress — delay the hire, pull back on marketing, hold off on the software upgrade that would have fixed the billing gap that caused the problem. That practice is always one bad quarter away from making decisions a wealthier version of itself would never make. The Cascade in Numbers: Payer delays 45+ days → Operating account drops → Owner stops paying themselves first Denial rate spikes 5% to 14% → $28K/month delayed or lost → Personal savings tapped for household bills Key provider unexpected leave → Volume drops 30% → No distribution for 60 days Contract renegotiation stalls → 90 days cash flow uncertainty → Investment contributions paused indefinitely System 3 — The Firewall: A market-rate owner salary that does not move with revenue. A distribution schedule tied to net profit after a defined reserve threshold. Personal savings that build independent of what the practice has on hand. In a bad quarter: the salary still goes out, the distribution pauses, and the operational decisions come from strategy instead of personal financial pressure. Referenced: Profit First by Mike Michalowicz — the formula flip that makes the firewall mechanical. Three actions this week: Calculate your real owner salary — what you would pay someone else to do your job Define your operating reserve threshold — one month of payroll minimum, two months standard Schedule a financial separation review with your accountant — ask what a 30% revenue drop does to your personal finances Episode breakdown: 00:00 The $380K practice that one quarter turns 03:00 The big idea: revenue is not wealth 06:00 System 1: The Entanglement 10:30 Working vs. broken — the same practice, two outcomes 13:30 System 2: The Bad Quarter Multiplier 17:00 The cascade and what it actually costs 20:00 System 3: The Firewall 24:30 Profit First applied to a medical practice 27:00 Three actions this week 31:00 Free resource + EP185 tease Resources Mentioned Payment Posting Audit Checklist (free): eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist Practice Revenue Leak Scorecard (free): eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrm-revenue-scorecard-v3 Book a free 30-minute audit call: calendly.com/heather-natrevmd RECOVER Diagnostic Quiz: natrevmd.com/quiz Book referenced: Profit First by Mike Michalowicz
