| 6/24/26 |  Securing Developers with Tanya Janca | How can sysadmins help software developers work securely and make more secure applications? While at NDC in Toronto, Richard sat down with Tanya Janca of SheCodesPurple to discuss what admins can do to help address the security challenges software developers face. Tanya talks about securing development environment and pipelines - developers routinely work from high privilege accounts because their tools require it, and as a result, have become the targets of black hats to get access to accounts, keys, and other exploitable resources. There are plenty of tools available to help work through the issues, including the latest AI-powered tools. LLMs can also help generate more secure code in the first place, and Tanya has created a set of prompts you can use to create more secure software. The threat landscape is shifting with these tools, and we need to act quickly to resist the new attacks! | — | ||||||
| 6/17/26 |  47 Day Certificates with Todd Gardner | The 47-day certificate is coming! While at NDC in Toronto, Richard received an update from Todd Gardner about his show last year: certificate authorities are moving toward SSL certificates that last only 47 days! Todd talks about the first decrease in duration that has already passed - as of March 2026, the longest duration certificate you can buy from certificate authorities is 200 days. At the core of these changes is the problem that certificate revocation just isn't working properly, so a short certificate lifespan is the effective solution. Short certificate lifespans make automation to replace certificates essential - and that's where CertKit and other tools come in! | — | ||||||

| 2/11/26 |  Securing Active Directory Certificate Services with Ron Arestia | You're using Active Directory Certificate Services - but is it configured securely? Richard talks to Ron Arestia about his work with organizations implementing their own Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with ADCS. Ron explains how poorly configured ADCS enables lateral attacks within an organization once an initial breach occurs, allowing black hats to move throughout your network. A well-designed PKI system has tiers of protection, with the top level completely disconnected from the network. Or do you really need your own PKI system? The conversation digs into the various scenarios, including third-party options. Certificates are the top level of security for your organization - you need to get it right! | — | ||||||
| 2/4/26 |  Getting Started using Purview with Erica Toelle | Ready to get started with Purview? Richard chats with Erica Toelle about the first steps you can take to harness the power of Purview in your organization. Erica explains that Purview is an umbrella product that covers several infosec technologies, including information rights management, data loss prevention, structured data governance, and more. When preparing for M365 Copilot, you want to start tagging sensitive information in your organization, and Purview can help by using LLMs to identify potentially sensitive content. You can also monitor how data is used, the types of prompts sent to M365 Copilot, and more. This can help you bootstrap M365 Copilot by using Purview to see which data Copilot uses, and then tune the access rules for that data. "Getting your data estate in order" is not a destination; it's a journey, and Purview can give you a map! | — | ||||||
| 1/28/26 |  Business Process Automation in 2026 with Ian Cooper | Business Process Automation has been around a long time - what are the latest approaches? Richard talks to Ian Cooper about his work building BPA workflows in organizations - starting on paper or a whiteboard to make sense of the process before bringing tools into the equation. Ian talks about building repeatable workflows that are well-documented and source-controlled, typically through GitHub. As workflows get more complex, you'll need orchestration engines that can handle failures and provide telemetry to identify when and where things go wrong. And make sure you let users know how things are going - or they will worry! | — | ||||||
| 1/21/26 |  Ideation to Implementation with Amber Vandenburg | How do you get an idea to implementation in your organization? Richard chats with Amber Vanderburg about the work she's done helping teams understand the process of getting projects started and finished. Amber talks about defining a clear starting line, ending line, and dead line. While many projects are important, prioritization is the challenge. This means often other priorities have to be resolved before something new can be started - you need resources and time to be successful. Working through the process takes time, but the alternative is failure to meet expectations. It takes planning and clear communication to get things done! | — | ||||||
| 1/14/26 |  Azure in 2026 with Jeremy Winter | What's coming in 2026 for Azure? Richard chats with CVP and Chief Product Officer for Azure, Jeremy Winter, about the announcements at Ignite and what we can expect in Azure over the next year. Jeremy talks about new features for migrating workloads to Azure, creating more reliable application implementations, the vast array of AI-related technologies being released, and more! The conversation also digs into the new data centers being built all over the world, and how they are becoming more efficient with resources. | — | ||||||
| 1/7/26 |  What AI can do for SysAdmins in 2026 with Cecilia Wirén | AI tools continue to evolve - what can we do with them today? Richard chats with Cecilia Wirén about her experiences using the latest AI tools to support DevOps workflows, diagnostics, and the crafting of new scripts. Cecilia focuses on tools that can help admins who occasionally work on scripts, including getting into a GitHub workflow to track prompts and results generated by LLMs, so you can always revert and learn from various approaches to interact with these new tools. The tools continue to evolve; it's worth looking at the latest features and models! | — | ||||||
