On today’s episode, you’ll see our very own security expert John Casaretto discussing the top-secret PRISM program, and how those who use it avoid detection from their own spying tools.

He’ll give his opinions about the security of Skype in the face of Microsoft’s cooperation with the NSA’s controversial spying program, and you’ll also see him give more information about other companies involved with PRISM, and what information they’re seeking about you.

If we’re lucky, you might even see John’s take on Microsoft and the other PRISM participating companies, and how they’re dealing with all the negative media attention. Like always, he will give us his opinions about whether or not their approach was the right one to take.
