You can hear the February 2021 edition of Gate 15’s Risk Roundtable podcast on Anchor, Spotify, Apple, Google, as well as other locations accessible via the Anchor link or almost anywhere you listen to your favorite podcasts.
After opening up about their love of Groundhog Day, the holiday and movie, the Risk Roundtable gang gets into the meat of their security discussions addressing an extremism and hostile events related arrest in Singapore, upcoming notable dates and significant events to factor into consideration, and the global takedown of Emotet (the malware, not Imhotep the Egyptian…). Then in the Risk Roulette, which Dave still does not have good music for, the group discusses if there are any commonalities to consider when looking at the recent Robinhood / WallStreetBets activity and the 06 Jan Capitol Siege, as well as the ongoing investigation and discovery relating to Solar Winds. The gang wraps it all up with some personal preferences before Andy tries to convince himself that the Lions are still a football team destined for greatness.
