• Episode 469: PSSO Updates with Okta
    Jul 11 2026

    Platform Single Sign-on comes in several different flavours, and each of them offers a different user experience, and solves for Identity Security in a different way. Password Sync, Secure Enclave, and don't forget Smart Card (can anyone who manages them ever forget Smart Card?). There are very strict delineations between features available for one type, and not for another. How do we work out what method is appropriate for our use case, and what settings we should be attempting to configure? Arki and Dan from Okta are back again today to discuss what the current PSSO landscape looks like

  • Episode 470: What identity does an Agent have?
    Jul 17 2026

    A few weeks back, we talked with Jamf about identifying hallmarks of AI Use on device. However, on-device AI use is only part of the story these days. We welcome back Joel Rennich from JumpCloud to talk about what agent identity looks like in July of 2026.

  • Episode 468: AI Governance
    Jun 30 2026

    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
    Jun 23 2026

    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
    Jun 2 2026

    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.
