S4 E6: Leading Through Change: Richard Nolan on IT and SMB Security
On the CNL Podcast, Sedric speaks with Richard Nolan, Director of IT at Stable Dry, about his two-decade journey in tech, starting at Dell in 2000. Richard emphasizes the value of building deep expertise early on and understanding how foundational IT knowledge impacts business and security decisions.
At Stable Dry, he leads a lean team, balancing hands-on engineering with strategic planning. He highlights phishing as a top threat especially in the SMB space, and stresses the need for strong user training.
Richard warns against the “we’re too small to get hit” mindset, noting that a single breach can be devastating. He also critiques tech providers like Microsoft for UI changes that weaken user defenses, urging SMBs to proactively invest in security.
Looking ahead, Richard believes that SMBs must prioritize adaptability, both in their tech stacks and in their people. With AI-driven threats rising, staying agile and informed will be key to long-term resilience.
