RSA 2010 - Post Keynote discussion with Brian Snow - Episode 37

One of the highlights of my week at the RSA conference was being able to sit down and speak with Brian Snow shortly after his Cryptographers Panel keynote session.

For those who don't know him - Brian Snow was NSA IAD Technical Director, he started as a government cryptographer working on secure systems including nuclear command and control, tactical battlefield radios, and network security. He created and managed NSA’s Secure Systems Design Division in the 1980’s, and became a Technical Director in 1992 (equivalent to a Corporate Chief Scientist). His credo: Managers are responsible for doing things right; Technical Directors are responsible for finding the right things to do.

In this podcast, Brian demonstrates his amazing background and knowledge of the industry. You must listen to his concept of 'lean forward' along with his views on trust, smartphones and some amazing examples from his past.
