In this episode, Max Clark sits down with Brent Feller, a cybersecurity expert with deep experience in network security and ethical hacking. Brent pulls back the curtain on the real tactics hackers use to infiltrate companies, steal data, and bypass even the most advanced security measures. From social engineering and zero-day exploits to unpatched vulnerabilities and ransomware attacks, he exposes the evolving playbook of cybercriminals. More importantly, he shares the critical defenses businesses need such as proactive threat detection, continuous network monitoring, employee security training, and strong incident response planning to stay ahead of modern threats. You might think you’re protected, but after this conversation, you’ll realize why traditional security measures aren’t enough anymore. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Tune in now to uncover the truth about how hackers REALLY get in! Time Stamp: 00:00 Cybersecurity is crucial for all businesses, with a focus on proactive strategies, offensive technologies, and the challenges of budget decisions. 10:15 Investing in Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is crucial for businesses to quickly detect and stop cyber threats, as outsourcing cybersecurity through a service model provides visibility and intelligence at a fraction of the cost of an in-house security operation center. 21:18 Organizations are shifting towards more comprehensive and effective cybersecurity solutions, emphasizing human investigation and decision-making over automated responses, and facing challenges with changes in Microsoft's cyber tools. 36:29 Companies are facing cybersecurity challenges and need to consider alternative options for longer retention periods and lower costs, with eSentire helping a global company improve their cybersecurity by replacing existing vendors and offering 24/7 monitoring. 45:07 Small organizations may struggle with cybersecurity, while larger organizations face red tape, but modern solutions and outsourcing can provide better protection and efficiency. 55:42 Cyber insurance policies are becoming more stringent, pushing organizations to prove their cybersecurity measures, with the importance of proper protection, backups, and testing emphasized. 01:04:20 Real-time monitoring and network sensors are crucial for uncovering cybersecurity threats, small businesses need the right tools to protect against vulnerabilities, and the increasing risk of breaches may lead to personal liability within the board and C-suite. 01:17:48 Investing in basic cybersecurity measures is crucial for businesses to prevent devastating consequences and comply with requirements, as failure to do so can result in personal liability and damage to one's reputation. 🎧 You can also listen to the episode on your favorite podcast platform: https://bit.ly/TDDEP37 **** 🔍 Find the best IT suppliers without boring sales calls.

The Build vs. Buy Delusion: Why Most IT Engineers Have It Backwards 5:43

What’s worse than paying for expensive software? Building your own—and realizing it was a mistake. IT engineers love the idea of building custom solutions. More control. More flexibility.

In this episode, Max Clark challenges the "Build vs. Buy" mindset that dominates IT culture. He breaks down why most internal builds fail, how third-party platforms outpace in-house development, and the strategic shortcut smart companies use to stay ahead. Before your company invests months (or years) into building the wrong thing, watch this.
