We are very excited to present to our listeners an exclusive interview with Mike Poor & Ed Skoudis of Intelguardians and The SANS Institute. Larry, The Mason, and myself spoke with Mike and Ed about a wide range of information security topics. This is part I of a two part interview.

In part I we discuss:

First computers that Mike and Ed owned (NOT 0wn3d, see part II for that, kidding of course :)
How Mike and Ed got their start in the information technology field
They describe the primary courses they teach at SANS, GCIA and GCIH
A really good description of SANS EDU
Their experiences as incident handlers for The Internet Storm Center (ISC)
Recent security incident trends, such as more hackers going to jail
Botnet economics and strategies, plus ways to defend against the almighty botnet!
