This is one of the most fun podcasts I have had the privilege of participating in, and it was with the one and only Paul Asadoorian. It was so awesome to talk to this group of industry experts and buckle up because we covered a lot of ground—from the latest trends to Microsoft vulnerabilities, firmware hacking, Android hacking, product security testing, managed security services, whom I would pick to be my celebrity parents and more! Huge thanks go to Paul and the entire Security Weekly Productions for the invite and the great discussion. https://lnkd.in/gkAjDf7Y
