In this month's episode, John Jainschigg, Director of Open Source Initiatives at Mirantis hosts Kathleen Moyer, Director of Service Delivery at Corsec Security, and William Konitzer, Senior Solution Architect at Mirantis, to explore the recently achieved DISA STIG certification for Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE). Together, they dive into the intricate certification process that enables public sector and enterprise users to deploy secure, compliant applications using MKE.
Listeners will gain insights into the collaborative effort between Mirantis and Corsec Security, where Kathleen shares her 25 years of expertise in security certifications, detailing how Corsec facilitated the process with government agencies like DISA and the DoD. William provides a behind-the-scenes look at the technical challenges and solutions that ensured MKE met stringent Department of Defense (DoD) security standards without compromising usability or performance. Furthermore, he highlights some of the team's learnings in the context of how it changed the thought process of Mirantis' engineering teams when it came to security.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
