Embark on a journey into the heart of cybersecurity with Russ Sherman, the tech wizard behind VISO TRUST, and discover how their AI-driven platform is flipping the script on third-party cyber risk management. We chat about how VISO TRUST is changing the game by cutting down the lengthy due diligence process to just days, making it a breeze for companies to assess and manage the risks of sharing sensitive data. Grab your favorite brew and listen in as we break down the complexities of cybersecurity maturity, and how VISO TRUST simplifies the process with a tool that's as refreshing as our beverage choices for the episode.

Sip on insights from our story about the inception of VISO TRUST, where Russ and his co-founder Paul combined their cybersecurity smarts to harness the power of technologies like Large Language Models (LLM) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation. These innovations aren't just fancy jargon; they're the backbone of VISO TRUSTs ability to predict and substantiate security controls, weaving together procurement and IT detection tools with finesse. And if you thought that was all, wait until we reveal how their partnership with Netskope is taking vendor management to new heights post-setup.

Finally, we swap tech talk for tales from in-person industry events like RSA and Black Hat, spilling the beans on quirky marketing stunts and the thrill of networking. The episode closes with a nod to the lighter side of life, from hockey rivalries to our unique beer picks, proving that even in the world of tech, there's always room for a little fun. Tune in for this episode of Beers & Bytes where we blend serious tech discussions with a dash of casual banter you won't want to miss.

We promise a roller coaster of a ride as we invite the IT industry stalwart, Scott Moore, for an exhilarating exchange of talk and thoughts. Kick back, grab a drink, and join us as we jump from the world of non-alcoholic beers to the unending expanse of IT, exploring Scott's impressive 30-year journey! Sharing his unique Guinness and Samuel Adams concoction, Scott sets the stage for a fascinating voyage through his career - right from performance and load testing to his experiences with Deloitte. Be prepared to take on some industry truths, as he shares his insights on the ever-changing security landscape and the rise of SRE roles.

Fasten your seat belts as we then catapult into the world of cybersecurity, shedding light on the challenges that plague the industry. From disorganized processes to the need for scalability and training, and the frequent ego clashes, we cover it all. We also spotlight the SANS Technology Institute as a top resource for cybersecurity education and certifications. But hold on, the journey isn't over yet! We switch gears and bring you the mellifluous world of 80s heavy metal, bantering about our favorite bands and discussing the technicalities of audio production.

Wrapping up our exhilarating ride, we land into a light-hearted conversation about the impact of drinking after donating blood and maintaining a healthy diet. Scott's personal anecdote adds a touch of humor and relatability to our discussion. This episode truly brings you a mixed bag - an enticing blend of IT, beers, 80s metal, and even salad! So, hit play and join us as we traverse through an array of subjects, each equally enthralling and filled with insights. Trust us; this is an episode you wouldn't want to miss!

"We can brew our own beer!" 

We were delighted to join Daryl Richardson, and Phillip Deems of Three Odd Guys Brewing in the Beers & Bytes virtual studio to toss back a few while we regale in stories of the inception and evolution of Three Odd Guys Brewing. Sparked by a chance encounter because of a military background, "3OG" evolved into friends and family sharing unforgettable moments together; fantastic craft beers brewed by a tight-knit "Framily" are at its heart. 

The Three Odd Guys team is not only passionate about brewing beer but is passionate about sharing the same type of extraordinary experiences they have had with new people. And some of their team are cybersecurity industry veterans to boot!
