By the end, it is hard to believe that in 2025, less than 30% of all Web Domains have properly configured SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records. Yep, less than 30% of the top 10 million domains. I sit down with Al Iverson of Valimail to talk about DNS records and the importance of SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records. Might sound a bit boring...At the end of November, bulk mailing will stop working for your company if you don't have those records configured correctly.

With IT Nation Connect Global only a week away, we wanted to share some of the workshops and the value frameworks play in helping shift the conversations about cybersecurity from speed and feeds to Risk.

Pax8 Beyond EMEA 2025 is less than a week away, and I wanted to take a minute to talk about the cyber sessions. What Matt Lee, of Pax8, is doing (today's guest), specifically his AI and CTF session. We might drift a bit in our conversation and go down a deep rabbit hole when setting up a home lab on the cheap. Enjoy!
