Switchin' it up is back in the studio! This time we're joined by Rich Ferrier from AlgoSec, who talked with us about visibility and monitoring in the networking space.

We sat down with George Barnes, CEO of Hamilton Barnes, in our brand new podcast studio to discuss the skills and people shortage in the industry, and whether or not it’s just ‘recruitment hype’.

This month, the guys discuss network security. We debate which is a greater threat to network stability: poor security, or outages? Do firewalls still have a place within a security infrastructure? What were some of the key takeaways from the world of network security at Cisco Live in Amsterdam this year?

Jimbo and Nick talk network outages in February's edition of the podcast. Join the guys as they answer: What is the cost of an outage to business? What are some of the most common causes of outages? How is the industry attempting to mitigate them?
