Alan Shimel Chats about Media and Cybersecurity Trends During COVID

TechSpective Podcast Episode 074

It has been a wild year and a half since the world went into quarantine lockdown for the COVID pandemic in March of 2020. Organizations initially responded as if it were a short-term crisis — like responding to an impending hurricane — and quickly realized that this was different and they needed to shift gears for the long haul.

Alan Shimel, founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of MediaOps, the company behind DevOps.com, Container Journal, Security Boulevard and Digital Anarchist, as well as co-founder of the DevOps Institute, joins me to talk about how he has navigated his company through the pandemic, and the impact on cybersecurity and trends in cybersecurity and DevSecOps that have been influenced by the pandemic.

Check out the full episode for more insights from Alan on cybersecurity and DevSecOps in the age of the COVID pandemic. We also talk about the impact on business models and the benefits and future of remote workers.

Tony Bradley: I have a passion for technology and gadgets--with a focus on Microsoft and security--and a desire to help others understand how technology can affect or improve their lives. I also love spending time with my wife, 7 kids, 4 dogs, 7 cats, a pot-bellied pig, and sulcata tortoise, and I like to think I enjoy reading and golf even though I never find time for either.
