We really do have the best customers!
One of them surprised me with a custom 3D-printed Cumberland Group logo keychain they designed and printed themselves.
If anyone has custom 3D printing needs, let me know and I can certainly make an intro to the mastermind behind this.

Unpopular opinion:
Buying GPUs before cleaning up your data is like putting a F1 engine in a car with bicycle tires.
Private AI success depends on more than GPUs and Storage...
AI has a data problem before it’s a GPU problem.
Agree or disagree?

Just got my Tanium Certified swag package in this week!
Much appreciation for vendors that invest in education and technical enablement.
The certification process definitely expanded my understanding around endpoint management, visibility and security operations

There’s always a first for everything…
Yesterday mine was using a recycling bin as a laptop stand in the middle of a datacenter because there were no crash carts available.
Improvise, adapt and get the job done!

First time wearing the Broadcom VCF Knights polo into a customer meeting.
And no… you cannot buy this polo at the stores, this one you have to earn 😎

Apparently AI is replacing engineers….
Meanwhile we’re still here fighting cardboard boxes, rails and cable management.

Are backups enough to recover from a ransomware event? It depends…
Immutable copies in a separate tenant, clean rooms and IREs are quickly becoming critical components of modern cyber recovery strategies.
When was the last time you reviewed your recovery strategy?
