It's coming up on 2 years since Tom Eston and I started the Social Media Security Podcast. If you've never listened to the Social Media Security Podcast before, and you use (or have family who use) social media sites like Facebook, Linked In, Twitter, MySpace, etc. you should drop by and have a listen, or find us on iTunes. The website is at: http://www.socialmediasecurity.com
In the early episodes, the discussion was more technical. Now, we talk more about the impacts of risks to people and businesses from using these tools in the office and at home.
Also, if you have a social media security story you'd like us to cover in the next podcast, or if you have comments on this one, please contact me at the coordinates below.

Just because your security team is too busy to do its own training and awareness doesn't mean you can't have an economical way to address human security risks.
