About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Act of 2015's expiration and features an interview with Gigamon's CSO Chaim Mazal.
Last week, the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Act of 2015 faded away without Congressional action (and because of some pretty stupid reasons from Senate Homeland Security Committee chair Rand Paul). But like Dumbledore's Phoenix could arise from the ashes in a new form. Who knows and who cares? Well, we talked to Gigamon 's CSO Chaim Mazal this week about the act, and whether it's demise is good or bad. The short answer is, it depends. Listen. this is a short one and will probably make things clearer.... I think.
