Welcome to another edition of a Paul's Security Weekly Vault episode! This episode was previously recorded on April 5, 2012 and features an interview with none other than Dan Geer. Unfortunately there is no video for this episode, but the content is still relevant today.  Dan Geer is a renowned cybersecurity expert and visionary. With a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field, Dan has made significant contributions to our understanding of information security and its implications. In this interview, we'll explore his background, education, and delve into some of his most influential works, such as his paper on the security implications of mono-culture. My co-hosts for this interview included Jack Daniel and John Strand. At the very end of the interview we talk about Dan giving the keynote at the Source Boston 2012 event. I've included a link to the video of that talk in the show notes for historical reference. ChatGPT summarized this keynote as follows stating: "Dan Geer discusses the claim that the internet is critical infrastructure and explores the potential hypocrisy involved in this assertion." So, without further ado, enjoy our interview with Dan Geer!
