Defrag This

This week's episode takes place at Cisco Live near Rick Graziani's book signing at the Cisco store. So that makes us even more famous now.

It's true that some industries have struggled to adapt to IPv6—but Graziani can easily explain why businesses shouldn't be happy to stay with IPv4.

Defrag This has covered machine learning and AI at a higher level—but never before have we had the chance to dive into how autonomous applications work by design. Today is our lucky day, because our guest is AI designer Jeff Smith, data scientist, developer, and author of Reactive Machine Learning Systems, available in Fall 2017.

After a couple of years as an AI architect over at x.ai, Smith recently launched a new startup called John Done, an AI that makes telephone calls for you. "Pretty much everything I've ever built is a tool that augments someone else's intelligence," Smith said.

If you're sending personally indentifiable information (PII) via basic FTP then your business is at risk. FTP servers do not provide the protections that are needed for today's threat landscape.

The recent FBI Private Industry Notice to healthcare providers warns of criminals strategically targeting basic FTP servers. But the issue doesn't just effect the healthcare industry. The banking and finance industry are also a major target for cyber criminals.

In this episode of Defrag This, Kevin Conklin, VP of Product Marketing at Ipswitch discusses why FTP is not appropriate for sending sensitive data and how upgrading your file transfer infrastructure with an secure managed file transfer solution can protect your business.

In this episode of Defrag This, we discuss the nuances of IT networks in dangerous industries.

In this episode of Defrag This, we're joined by Microsoft PowerShell MVP, Adam Bertram, as we pick his brain on what the big deal is about PowerShell and the test automation framework, Pester.

If you are maintaining a business infrastructure, chances are you are working in a windows environment. If that's the case then you have, at least in small doses, used PowerShell to automate some process.
