WatchGuard Security Week in Review: Episode 18

AusCERT 2012, QuickTime Updates, and a New Zeus Variant

This week’s “on the road” edition of WatchGuard Security Week in Review comes to you from the sunny Gold Coast of Australia, where I’ve spent the week learning about the latest mobile attacks, cloud threats, and SCADA security issues with the vibrant Australian security community. In this week’s video podcast, I quickly summarize a few of the presentations I saw at AusCERT this year.

Of course, normal security news continued marching along despite my little jaunt to the land down under. So I also cover this week’s important software updates, some new malware variants, and a potentially catastrophic antivirus update mistake. If you’re ready to catch up on the week’s most interesting security stories, check out the video below.

If you’d like to read the original sources for many of these stories, be sure to check out the Reference section. Also, make sure to post any feedback or questions in the comments section below, and share this podcast with your friends if you like it. Cheers!
