What is decentralized IT? - Part 1

In this non-central edition of the Exploring Information Security podcast, Michael Santarcangelo joins me to discuss decentralized IT.

Michael (@Catalyst) has talked about decentralized IT before on a couple other podcasts. It's a concept that I am currently experiencing in my day-to-day role. I work with the development team to improve security in the software development life cycle. I sit with the dev team. I attend meetings. I am a resource for them to approach about security concerns and questions. I am having quite a bit of success. Which is why I wanted to have Santarcangelo on to have a discussion around this concept. It's something that I think more teams should be looking into as an approach for working with other departments and teams.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What is decentralized IT
  • The different approaches to working with other departments
  • Who should use a decentralized model
  • Training with the development team

What is straight talk - Part 2

In this to the point episode of the Exploring Information Security podcast, Michael Santarcangelo joins me to discuss straight talk.

Michael (@catalyst) has launched a new program called straight talk. What I like about this program is that it helps solves problems. It cuts right through symptoms and other distractions and gets right to the point. This framework is for managers and executives, but worth the time for security professionals at any level.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How to get started with straight talk
  • Resources available for getting started with straight talk
