Risky Business podcast features news and in-depth commentary from security industry luminaries. Hosted by award-winning journalist Patrick Gray, Risky Business has become a must-listen digest for information security professionals. On this week's show we're chatting with Nathaniel Wakelam, a professional bug bounty participant who, distressingly, at age 20, earns shitloads more money than I do! We'll talk to him about how he got into bug bounties, and how he manages to take down a massive paycheck in such a competitive space. In this week's sponsor interview we're chatting with Senetas Security's Simon Galbally about the mess that is Australia's data breach notification legislation. This week's episode is sponsored by Senetas, an Australian company that designs and manufactures quite excellent layer 2 encryption gear. Adam Boileau, as always, will also pop in to discuss the week's news headlines. Oh, and do add Patrick and Adam on Twitter if that's your thing.
