It's never good news when potential security exploits are detected. But when they work on all personal computers, mobile devices and cloud infrastructure dating back to 1995? That creates a problem on a whole new order of magnitude. In this episode, we'll be talking with the researcher who discovered one of these critical bugs—Spectre—and who also has in-depth knowledge of its partner in crime, aka Meltdown.
Some of the topics that we cover include:
•How did these vulnerabilities happen, and why were they not detected sooner?
•Did the rush to bring technology to market play a role in allowing these exploits to slip through the cracks?
•What are the main concerns to look out for--both as an individual and as a CISO?
