Meet the Nation This Week on Sunday: A Special Vulnerability Edition

Presented at BSidesLV 2019, Aug. 7, 2019, 6 p.m. (55 minutes)

Join us in the studio for rousing commentary, insightful observations, and witty banter as we walk through breaking reports on vulnerability disclosures from around the world. Our three experts will discuss, debate, and dissect the dos and don'ts of vulnerability disclosure. In talk show format, our irrepressible, opinionated, and occasionally controversial pundits will offer legal, researcher, and vendor perspectives on this week's news in vulnerability disclosure. We'll provide candid reactions to how various tales of vulnerability disclosures unfolded - highlighting what works, what doesn't, and what's likely to get you punched or arrested. Or both. We may not be Emmy-nominated (yet), but we'll bring you the hottest news and informed reactions from across the coordinated disclosure landscape.
