Haroon Meer and Adrian Sanabria from Thinkst recently did a keynote talk at the Virus Bulletin conference in London. Titled “The Security Products We Deserve,” it’s a stinging critique of the security product lifecycle.

We’ll be talking to Haroon Meer about that keynote in this week’s sponsor interview, which will run after this week’s news segment. Links to everything are below.
