In Today’s PICNIC episode, we will welcome Scoot Foote, Cybersecurity Expert.

Scott is a senior high-tech executive with more than 30 years of experience in cybersecurity and the broader software industry; serving both the public and private sectors. His primary area of expertise has been information security since the late 1980s; however, Scott’s technical experience ranges from operating system kernel technologies, to the gamut of filesystem / database and info storage, to network engineering, to packaged commercial applications such as SCADA, B2B and CRM solutions. His management experience spans the product lifecycle, with a specific focus on complex systems engineering and solution roadmap planning – including operational prototyping, rapid-growth product evolution, market adaptation, derivative product strategy, and next generation rollout and migration. Since 1995, he has helped to launch or successfully re-invent over a dozen small businesses. Scott is a frequent guest speaker at industry events, sits on a number of advisory boards and has been a member of the board of directors for enswers, Inc., Axixa Corporation, Realocity, Inc., Protinuum, LLC, and the Boston Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. 

During today’s episode, we want to spend a bit of time studying and answering a few points:

How did we get here?  To the point where the majority of the commercial infrastructure we rely on today cannot be trusted? Who are these Threat Actors?  How can they continue to prosper and grow in light of so much visibility now on things like massive data breaches? Why is it so hard for Cyber Defenses to keep up with the threat? What major trends do you see unfolding between now and 2020?  Both the evolution of the Threat, and the evolution of Cyber Defenses? What advice do you have for our audience as they watch this global storm-front building on the horizon?

For our first PICNIC episode of 2018, we welcome our friend and returning guest Adam Bertam, Chief Automator at Adam the Automator LLC.

Adam Bertram is an automation engineer, blogger, independent consultant, freelance writer, author, trainer, and presenter. Adam focuses on DevOps, system management, and automation technologies as well as various cloud platforms. He is a Microsoft Cloud and Datacenter Management MVP, a passionate learner and efficiency nerd that enjoys teaching others a better way to leverage automation. You can find Adam at his adamtheautomator.com blog, LinkedIn or on Twitter at @adbertram.

Ever since the introduction of the Infrastructure in the Cloud and DevOps over the past decade, IT professionals have seen a giant pivot in the skill sets that are needed to get the job done. Hardware maintenance and repair is only small part of the job now. Tape backups are being replaced by cloud backups, servers are becoming virtualized, and system administration is being automated to save time. With all that said, that means coding and scripting is coming to the forefront of everything that IT people do. Today we are going to talk about the changes going on in the IT world and if you are an IT professional, why you need to learn how to code.

Questions we will cover with Adam today:

As a PowerShell guru, you’ve certainly have been ahead of the game when it comes to scripting and automation in IT. I bet we can’t say the same for many other small and medium businesses. Why do IT pros need to learn to code? So, we are trending in the direction that many of IT’s tasks need to be automated. Do you think there is a shortage of IT pros who have coding skills in the workforce because of this? How does one get started if they have been focused on hardware their whole career, for instance? What if you hate coding and scripting and you work in IT? Is it time to start looking for another career path? I know you are biased towards PowerShell., but if I’m an IT person looking to learn a new language, which language would you recommend and why? Coding has always been tied to being a programmer. Are you saying that all IT pros need to be programmers? That seems like it would be a big leap for a lot of people in this line of work. Could you share some resources that have helped you keep your scripting skills fresh? Any recommendations for the uninitiated?

In Today’s PICNIC episode, we welcome our friend and frequent guest Adam Bertam, Chief Automator at Adam the Automator LLC.

Adam Bertram is an automation engineer, blogger, independent consultant, freelance writer, author, trainer, and presenter.

You can find Adam at his adamtheautomator.com blog, LinkedIn or on Twitter at @adbertram.

Adam Bertram is also a PowerShell guru and Microsoft MVP. When it comes to PowerShell and using it’s powers to automate tasks in IT, Adam is an encyclopedia on the subject.

The idea of today’s episode is to cover questions such as:

What exactly do we mean when we say Infrastructure as Code (IaC)? How does this tie into Infrastructure as a Service? So the big problem that Infrastructure as Code solves for has everything to do with scaling and automation is the means to an end when it comes to this concept of IaC? Would you say that IaC gave birth to the idea of DevOps? I mean you’re essentially developing and infrastructure to scale, so it brings a coding dynamic to the IT field. Why would you use PowerShell as opposed to more popular languages used in IaC, such as Ansible or Ruby on Rails?

In Today’s PICNIC episode, we are pleased to welcome Joy Beland, President at Pink Hat Technology Management.

Since starting her consulting practice in 1997, Joy’s ability to develop solid and creative technology solutions has brought efficiency and affordability to small and medium businesses alike.
