episode ITOops cover

ITOops

In the spine-tingling finale of IT Horror Stories, host Jonathan Crowe is joined by a fearless lineup of IT veterans who have stared into the digital void and lived to tell the tale. Guests Kallum Kyle, Senior Sysadmin at Storable; Josh Adcock, Director of Client Services at The Tech Doctor; and Adam Walter, Founder of Humanize IT, recount their most harrowing experiences from the trenches of tech. They relive moments when end users were their only hope, when vulnerable software lurked like ghosts on forgotten networks, and when automation backfired so badly it cost them their jobs. These stories aren’t just frightening—they’re all true!

The Nightmare Phone Call

Things are bound to go sideways in the world of IT and security, but there are certain three-letter government organizations that you never want to hear from. In this episode, long-time security veteran and Chief Security Officer at Vetcor, Andrew Wilder, joins us to unpack several harrowing encounters with bad actors and local law enforcement – ranging from chasing down unknowing internal payments to known hackers and cracking down on vulnerable vendors.

Point of No Rollback

When a huge cloud platform migration stalls out mid-flight with no hope of changing course, panic lunges to take the wheel. In this episode, Mahesh Guruswamy, CPTO at Kickstarter and author of How to Deliver Bad News and Get Away with It, recounts the night he took down production and had no other choice but to push through. Tune in for the blow-by-blow — from anxiously watching the clock as queries time-out to the tightrope walk of breaking bad news without breaking trust. You'll leave with the brutally simple playbook Mahesh now swears by to make sure your next migration doesn’t become an IT horror sequel. --------- TIME STAMPS: 00:59 - About Mahesh 03:08 - The incident 21:18 - Don’t be in the sequel 26:46 - More lessons learned 31:34 - How to equip yourself --------- LINKS: Find Mahesh on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/maheshguruswamy/] Find Jonathan on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanscrowe/] Learn more about NinjaOne [https://www.ninjaone.com/]

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
