This week Bryan is kicking off 2024 solo for his annual tech trends and predictions episode. In this episode, he talks about a myriad of topics from adopting AI to automate redundant work to biometric passwords becoming more common outside of an individual user level. He even cuts the $hIT about the increasing expense of IT, and what, at a minimum, companies should be doing to stay protected from cyber threats in 2024 given tighter budgets and increased costs. So let's start this year off right with no bull$hIT and get into another episode. Enjoy.
P.S. Happy Birthday Bryan!

This week in honor of Halloween, Bryan is joined again by Plow Networks founders Brian Law and Cameron Plato, for an after-hours episode to discuss the terrifying reality that so many businesses face, overspending on subscription services.

This week Bryan is again joined by co-founders of Plow Networks, Cameron Plato and Brian Law, to talk of a real-life example of potential fraud! A few weeks ago, Plow Networks almost fell victim to a phishing attacker claiming to be an IT director from a large, reputable organization. With a few emails and phone calls, this person got past the front lines of defense. Luckily, Plow didn't fall for it in the end. For many organizations, unfortunately, it doesn't always end this well. It doesn't take intricate technology or highly-intelligent hackers. The only thing necessary for a phishing scam to be successful is a little social engineering.
