Your hosts Brent Piatti (@BrentPiatti) and Brian Carpenter (@intheDC) discuss best practices for a modern data center and how to leverage security as an evolving process – and not a product.  We’d tell you more, but then we’d have to kill you. I love Keith Alexander. I’ve always respected Keith Alexander.
