StillSecure, After all these years, Podcast 57 - Thomas Noonan

Mitchell and I were lucky to have security industry pioneer and legend, Thomas Noonan as our guest for episode 57.  In case you don't know, Tom was the co-founder and CEO of Internet Security Systems (ISS) and than managed that division after its acquisition by IBM.  Well Tom has taken an "early retirement" from his IBM gig.  But don't look for Tom to be playing tennis or golf at some retirement village here in Florida. He is already looking at places and technologies that get his juices flowing and interest him.  One of those is Rohati.  I have written about Rohati before.  Their technology is tackling a problem where others have not treked before.  Thomas is now a member of their advisory board, but I would not rule out a bigger role for him with the company in the future.

Mitchell and I give Tom a chance to talk about his long strange trip in helping invent the security industry and what he sees as the future for himself and our industry. It is a good 35 minutes of insight from a true security original.  I hope you enjoy it. 

You may notice that the podcast is longer than 35 minutes though.  That is because after the interview, Mitchell and I do our usual shtick about what is going on in the industry.  We talk about acquisition rumors, virtual security (or what passes for it nowadays) and Apple - love' um, hate' um or leave' um.
