Transatlantic Cable podcast, episode 141

This week, David Jacoby joins Dave and Jeff to discuss his recent talk at SAS at Home, covidication, and more.

Kaspersky podcast: Can something good come from the coronavirus?

For the 141st edition of the Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable podcast, Dave and I are joined by our friend and colleague David Jacoby.

We kick off our conversation with a look at what Mr. Jacoby has been up to since we last spoke with him on this podcast. We talk for a bit about what he is calling a “covidication” before jumping into his two presentations for SAS at Home (an online version of our traditional Security Analyst Summit), and wrap up with some hacker activity and note that humans are still lazy.

Regular listeners of the podcast may get some laughs from David mocking my lack of physical fitness and also what things people can do to get through the quarantine.
