The CloudBytes Podcast is focused on bringing together opinionated cloud customers, providers, and analysts to discuss topics related to how clouds are built, marketed, and consumed. Customer needs in the cloud are varied. The opinions will be strong. Agreement will not always be achieved. The end result should provide good sound bites about how to manage your bytes in the cloud. And sometimes where the cloud bites.

Not just backup anymore! 11:11 Systems Director of Product Market Intelligence Brian Knudtson is joined by guests Steve Broeder, Vic Comacho, and Gina Rosenthal for a conversation about how Data Protection is critical to security. You’ve almost certainly heard that it’s the “last line of defense” in the event of a cybersecurity breach. But what exactly changed between the days of shipping tape backups and now? In fact, the same things that were important back then may have only gotten more so as threat actors grow more sophisticated.
Never, never, never (well, almost never) accept the default configuration settings for your cloud provider workloads. But what settings do you provide and how?
