Fred and Vlad sit down with Umu and discuss her career journey, from Dreamweaver to DR, we talk about how she transitioned to Cybersecurity and Sales and what kept her going along the way, what helped her transition roles too.

SASE, SSE, SDWAN, VPN, CASB, ZTNA, DLP, etc etc. The list of acronyms goes on and on. Fred and Vlad spend time with Umu breaking down where it came from, what it all means and most importantly, why you should care about a proper User Protection strategy.

30 years of being in tech, from Novell to Win3.1, NT to IOS, patch panels, PLCs, the early days of IoT and Token Ring. Scott Williamson has seen it all. He spends time walking us through his career journey, the skills that built along the way that kept him going as technologies came and went and he transitioned through roles. Interested in learning how he eventually ended up in Sales from operational roles? It's all about knowing how to sell the upgrades to your internal stakeholders - more insight in the show!

Join Fred and Vlad as they catch up with Scott Williamson from ThousandEyes to discuss what is 'Digital Experience Monitoring' and ultimately, why you as an IT professional or business leader should care. In this day and age, so much is reliant on SaaS and the cloud, hybrid work enables people to access applications from anywhere but whether that connectivity is reliable or not and affects peoples productivity - this is where Digital Experience Monitoring comes in.

Fred and Vlad give us their hot takes on Cloud Management and why its necessary; we go back in time discussing the pain of managing networks via CLI, how the CCNA/P used to look and how its changed dramatically; we also discuss the business reasons why for at least us, Cloud Management makes predominant sense for many general use cases.

This is our origin story, we introduce ourselves and why we're starting this podcast, what we're hoping to achieve and how we plan to connect with you.
