Episode 468: AI Governance 30.06.2026 1godz 12min

AI has been a constant in tech buzzword bingo for some time now, and the tide has very much changed from "how do we block this" to "how do we use it for the things that make sense". As the constraints have been loosened, and the token costs go up… how do we get a clear understanding of exactly what is being used in our environment, what the AI agents and harnesses are doing, and ensuring we are meeting the expectations of the people who are held accountable? Matt Vlasach is back to talk to us about AI Governance and how Jamf is tackling this in an authentically Apple way.

Episode 467: Trust but Verify 23.06.2026 1godz 13min

It seems like every day there is a new tool or product out there that is promising our end users abilities on par of turning lead into gold. With just this one tool, our end users can do anything! If only their pesky IT team would let them install it, then they could generate endless shareholder value, become super efficient, and actually this exact tool is critical for their job and how dare you question it! When end users are requesting new tools that will lead them to the promised lands, how can we as IT teams ensure that the tools are actually what they say they are, and how can we measure their risk in our environments?

Episode 464: DMARC, BIMI, and Email in 2026 02.06.2026 1godz

Brands are things that I never really thought about when I was younger. I knew and trusted certain brands based on some reputation that I subliminally learned from…somewhere. Sure I've set up non profits, I've represented businesses professionally around the world, I have been a part of a larger brand that someone worked hard to create. But as someone with zero marketing finesse, I was shocked when I was interviewing for a job internally years ago, and someone mentioned that I had a strong brand. Me? Anti Marketing - having a brand? We all have a brand, whether it's literally a company that we own or a company we represent, or figuratively as one we put out in the world. And if you're like me, someone who hasn't put much thought into what having a brand means, and why you should care about protecting it - this episode is for you.

Episode 462: Live at Mac Admins Europe 2026 20.05.2026 47min

This episode is a little bit different than our usual live recordings. Usually our live recordings are on stage, in front of an audience- with guests that follows a very similar format to what we usually do. This episode is not that - it has many guests- who will introduce themselves, a hazy plotline, and was recorded with a stolen microphone, unofficially, guerilla style at the first ever MacAdmins Europe conference. Follow me throughout the day as I accost victims- I mean guests- on the spot and ask questions about the conference, their perspectives, and what they've enjoyed most.
