Um, could you use "the fabric" in a technology related sentence?
I know you think you understand what you thought I said,
but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!

I never heard of it? but had a quick search on Google anyway and found this - http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/sDefin...i214147,00.html
And this - http://www.yourdictionary.com/computer/switch-fabric
Wiki link on it as well - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_fabric
Don't know if it is right but this might be what your asking about, here's a quote from the 1st and 2nd link above.
It seems to be related to networking which might be why the Security podcast you listen to mentions it.
EDIT: You learn something new everyday

Switching fabric is the combination of hardware and software that moves data coming in to a network node out by the correct port (door) to the next node in the network.
Quote
(1) The interconnect architecture used by a switching device, which redirects the data coming in on one of its ports out to another of its porterydays. The word "fabric" comes from the resulting criss-crossed lines when all the inputs on a switch with hundreds of ports are connected to all possible outputs.

The hardware that connects workstations and servers to storage devices in a SAN is referred to as a "fabric." The SAN fabric enables any-server-to-any-storage device connectivity through the use of Fibre Channel
