Due to a scheduling conflict with another webcast, we had to cancle today's monthly threat update. However, we will use this opportunity to try something new. We had some complaints in the past with users having problems with our java based webcast platform. Already, we are seeing a lot more users downloading the audio only "podcast version" of the webcast compared to users actually participating in the live version.

This month, we will try a recorded screencast format, and publish the "webcast" in segments for you to pick and choose. Still working out the details, but the content should be live late today or tomorrow. As usual, we will cover the Microsoft patches and at least one additional topic (right now, it looks like a quick introduction into hardening OS 10.8 Mountain Lion). The new format should enable me to do more demos and less rely on slides. Best part: you wont have to accept the java applet with an expired signature, and I can tell you how to disable java with a straight face ;-)
