Over the Rainbow: 21st Century Security and Privacy

Over The Rainbow: 21st Century Security and Privacy is an IEEE Computer Society podcast hosted by Bob Blakley and Lorrie Cranor. The podcast looks forward to the new century in hopes that security and privacy can be made more effective by (1) learning and remembering the lessons of the past, (2) discovering innovative, multidisciplinary approaches to complex security and privacy problems, (3) leaving behind 20th Century ideas that have not proven effective in practice, and (4) building a larger and stronger community of practitioners by attracting and supporting a diverse, global workforce whose experiences and insights expand and enrich the ongoing security and privacy conversation. The podcast will feature conversations with security leaders from academia, industry, and government, as well as rising new stars in the field and experts from related disciplines.
