Episode 467: Trust but Verify

It seems like every day there is a new tool or product out there that is promising our end users abilities on par of turning lead into gold. With just this one tool, our end users can do anything! If only their pesky IT team would let them install it, then they could generate endless shareholder value, become super efficient, and actually this exact tool is critical for their job and how dare you question it! When end users are requesting new tools that will lead them to the promised lands, how can we as IT teams ensure that the tools are actually what they say they are, and how can we measure their risk in our environments?

Episode 464: DMARC, BIMI, and Email in 2026

Brands are things that I never really thought about when I was younger. I knew and trusted certain brands based on some reputation that I subliminally learned from…somewhere. Sure I've set up non profits, I've represented businesses professionally around the world, I have been a part of a larger brand that someone worked hard to create. But as someone with zero marketing finesse, I was shocked when I was interviewing for a job internally years ago, and someone mentioned that I had a strong brand. Me? Anti Marketing - having a brand? We all have a brand, whether it's literally a company that we own or a company we represent, or figuratively as one we put out in the world. And if you're like me, someone who hasn't put much thought into what having a brand means, and why you should care about protecting it - this episode is for you.
