My MSDN interview on Developers and Security

As a Canadian developer, I appreciate the evangelism and support of Microsoft across Canada. One of my favorite guys is John Bristowe, a Microsoft Developer Evangelist who focuses on Western Canada. Today he gave me a call and we did a quick 30 minute podcast on Developers and Security for the Canadian Developers MSDN Website. You can check it out here.

More specifically, we chatted about how developers can improve their skills and processes around security and secure programming practices. (John's description which I am blatently ripping from his blog post :-) )

Enjoy!

I noticed you talking about two-factor authentication a bit. You ought to check out PhoneFactor - we just released it at the beginning of July, and have had a lot of interest so far. The basic idea is two-factor using cell phones, where we make a phone call to the user's pre-registered phone number. No software to deploy, no tokens, no training (users just answer a phone), and it's free.
