Episode 330 - The sliding scale of risk: seeing the forest for the trees

Josh and Kurt talk about the challenge of dealing with vulnerabilities at a large scale. We tend to treat every vulnerability equally when they are not equal at all. Some are trees we have to pay very close attention to, and some are part of a larger forest that can’t be treated as individual vulnerabilities. We often treat risk as a binary measurement instead of a sliding scale. https://traffic.libsyn.com/opensourcesecuritypodcast/Episode_330_The_sliding_scale_of_risk_seeing_the_forest_for_the_trees.mp3 Show Notes gsd.id The Register OpenSSL story OpenSSL bug
