This week on Security Now, Leo and Steve talk about browser security, why browsers like Internet Explorer are percieved to be insecure and whether or not they really are. Additionally, the two discuss the risks of running client-side code from websites, the terror of ActiveX, and how you can lock down your favorite web browser to make sure you’re browsing more securely. Why is it so hard to make a secure browser, anyway, and why Javascript and Java are inherently more secure than ActiveScript and ActiveX.
Worried about surfing online, and want to lock your system down? This is the podcast for you. Enjoy!
