They discuss a wide variety of topics including: Early memories of working with Ed Schweitzer as a young engineer, being a CEO with the legend still there, and what SEL when Ed Schweitzer decides to slow down. SEL Security Products profitability today and in the future. Dealing with customers who don't want to secure their systems. SEL's high level of vertical integration including a new plant to manufacture PCB's and its impact on supply chain security. Dave and Dale's initial meeting over a vulnerability disclosure and how SEL deals with vulnerabilities today (direct disclosure to customers, not via a CERT).
