Today we are talking with SentinelOne. Their product faired better than most against the SolarWinds attack. To quote their site, “SentinelLabs, the research division of SentinelOne, has confirmed that devices with SentinelOne agents deployed were excluded from the SUNBURST attack from an early stage, even before any communication with a malicious C2. Technical analysis confirmed that SUNBURST was unable to disable or bypass SentinelOne in any environment.” I’ll let that sink in for a second.
There are some people in IT who become quite notable for always being at the center of great things. They enable others with their knowledge, and by doing so, they rise to legendary status within the community. Today we have just such a person, Duncan Epping.
Here at FUTRtech, we love to talk about great new companies. We also have been talking a lot about security these days with major breaches regularly appearing in the headlines. Today you are in luck, because we are going to be talking about both.
One of the challenges with security is knowing where to spend your money and where to put in the effort to achieve the best results. The truth is, unless you know what the state of your security is, it is very hard to take effective measures to protect your organization.
Today we are going to be continuing our conversations about security by talking with Arctic Wolf CEO Brian NeSmith.
Brian has been a fixture in the industry for quite a while. Prior to Arctic Wolf, Brian was CEO of Blue Coat Systems and Ipsolon Networks. Arctic Wolf is a rare venture backed services company that has raised $350 million and is solving security challenges for Small and mid sized businesses with an eye toward the Enterprise.
Today we are going to be talking about re-invigorating your career during a Pandemic with Organizational Psychologist Nick Tasler who appeared in Podcast #9 back in May of 2020.
When we first talked with Nick Tasler in May of last year, he was trying to figure out what he was going to do when the events industry went into lockdown effectively ending his work as a keynote speaker. We talked about pivoting, and Nick made a great pivot.

There have been some very high profile hacks in the news lately. Some of these have even been hacks of security vendors themselves, from Microsoft to FireEye, but perhaps one of the most disturbing was the recent SolarWinds hack that we are just starting to come to grips with. If you are not familiar with the details of this attack, you need to be. Today we are going to talk security so buckle in.
Today we are going to talk about two big pandemic concerns, pivots and security, and we have a company taking care of both, Sysdig. Sysdig was founded as an open source troubleshooting tool by Loris Degioanni in 2013. You may know Loris Degioanni as co-creator of the very popular open source network analyzer Wireshark and the container security tool Falco.
Those of you who know me know I like a good turn around story and I have a great one for you today. When the pandemic struck, it hit the events industry particularly hard. Our partner for the eMERGE 2020 Chicago event, Echelon Design felt the impact immediately, seeing a drastic reduction in engagements with no clear end in sight.
Just a quick video to thank all of the folks who helped make the channel go this year. So glad to see 2020 in the rearview mirror, and looking forward to 2021. Have a great and safe holiday and I will see you next year.
I want to tell you about the best webcam you probably already have that you didn’t know was a webcam.
Hey everybody, welcome back to another FUTRtech video. I have been talking about how to improve your video for video conferences, and people are always asking me, how can I make it better without spending much money. I’ve got a solution for you folks. Here it is, your iPhone. We all have enjoyed the great videos we are able to get from this phone, but with ElGato’s EpocCam, you can make it your wireless webcam.
You may have heard of ElGato from their very popular CamLink 4K HDMI converter that lets you use your Mirrorless or DSLR camera as a webcam. EpocCam is a great addition to your setup, and it is incredibly easy to use. All you need is an iPhone and a Windows or MacOS system.
Here is a quick list of 5 things you can do to make your video conferences look and sound better, and they won't cost you anything.
TikTok is a global phenomenon. It isn't just millennials busting out their latest dance moves. There is a wide range of content on there and some really great Science and technology info as well. In this video I showcase my 5 favorites for 202 and throw in a bonus one too.
I know so many sports lovers out there have been struggling through the pandemic with little to no entertainment. Now, being a bit of a geek, I have always liked sports that combine precision, endurance, mental fortitude, and engineering. That is why my personal sport is olympic style archery. Where even fat old men can compete in an olympic sport. I can definitely do fat and old.
But I want to give you a sporting event that may be the most extreme sporting event on the planet. It has strategy, intense physical and psychological challenges, endurance and cutting edge engineering and technology in extreme, life threatening environments. I am talking about the Vendée Globe. This race is like if Mount Everest was 24,000 miles high and there was a marathon to climb it.
These days, everyone is feeling the stress of their jobs and of the industry. With so many people just dreaming of starting over, I always hear, I am going to just quit and go work in the Cannabis industry. It is the modern equivalent of saying I am going to run off and join the circus.
But the reality is more challenging. It is a highly regulated and complex industry, it is illegal on the federal level so you are at the mercy of state regulations and an ever changing political environment. Then you have to be able to produce and sell a fairly technical and complex product that requires a high level of service to the customer. Making money in the business is not as straight forward as you might think.
In 2008, Veritas employees Jaspreet Singh and Milind Borate got together to create the data protection company Druva. Fun Fact: In Sanskrit, "Druva" translates to "North Star".
For years they built the business around endpoint data protection, but the product evolved over into a more enterprise focused cloud data management company. Last year they completed a series E for $130M with a valuation north of a billion dollars.
