Resilience Rocket

This is a unique, non-technical episode about a timely topic:  How to start professional networking at conferences.  Jason and I both learned how to do this, but neither of us succeeded at first.  Learn how we got there!

Martin White from TechIDManager joins us to talk about individual accounts for tech, making the transition from engineer to entrepreneur, modern coding standards, and git!

In this episode, I talked with Dioly Alexandre from BlackShield Cyber about Cyber Warfare, incidents he's seen, and upcoming trends. You can learn more about BlackShield here: https://www.blackshieldcyber.com/

Very short/quick episode to recap some highlights of IT Nation Secure this past week.

This episode talks about the risks and management of browser extensions, similar to a post I shared on LinkedIn. This is the article that led to wanting to devote an episode to it: More malicious extensions in Chrome Web Store | Almost Secure (palant.info) And below are links to get started with browser management for the three major browsers: Chrome: Chrome Enterprise Policy List & Management | Documentation Firefox: Manage updates, policies & customization | Firefox for Enterprise Help (mozilla.org) Edge: Configure Microsoft Edge for Windows with policy settings | Microsoft Learn  

This episode recaps my time at MSPGeekCon.  The organizers did an amazing job!

In this episode, we talk about the "Cattle, not pets" paradigm and how it applies to MSPs.

In this episode, we discuss the need for standardizing on browsers for MSPs and clients and why that standard should be Edge.

In this episode, we cover combining top-down and bottom-up risk assessment techniques to get the best of both worlds.

In this episode, we look at some of the pitfalls of BYOD and losing control of data when it leaves corporate-owned devices, including some remediation options on mobile devices. This is a big topic and will be covered again from other perspectives.

Reputations are one thing that we don't have second chances on.  This episode discusses some ethical dilemmas I faced during my time as a tech and how we handled them, including one that I would do differently.

A discussion of changing the "us vs. them" mindset that we can fall into as security teams and remembering what the ultimate goal is.
