At the time I am writing this, I personally know people who, are trying to survive in bomb shelters in Kyiv, and others who have taken up arms to defend this country. Here at The Conference Room our thoughts and prayers are with our friends and colleagues and the whole of the Ukrainian people. But thoughts and prayers are not enough. As President Kennedy said in the name of Thomas Burke, all it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. So, let's do something. In the shownotes for this episode, and for every episode while the people of Ukraine are fighting for their country, we'll post links of how you can help: reputable organizations you can donate to that will help the Ukrainian people and reliable sources of information about what's happening on the ground. As individuals, we may not be able to stand up to Putin ourselves, but let's all do something and not let evil triumph on our watch. Thank you.

Tens of thousands of viruses, in different shapes and sizes threaten computers everyday. That's why Giovanni Vigna CTO and Co-Founder of Lastline.com, explains how their company prevents malware from affecting computer security. Lastline.com is not a traditional anti-virus, but much more than that. To put it in Vigna's words, nowadays viruses come “packaged” in many different formats such as PDFs or Doc Files. There is no way of knowing if the file is corrupted or not, unless you open it and see the effect. So how to protect yourself? Thanks to Lastline.com, there is a technology called Sandbox, which opens the file in a secure environment and checks the status without the file affecting your computer.

Brian talks with John Barco (VP of Products @ ForgeRock) and Engin Kirda (Co-Founder @ Lastline) about Identity Management, Advanced Persistent Threats, Open-Source, Advanced Malware, State-Sponsored Attacks, Internet of Things and other security trends prior to the RSA Conference.
