Episode 29 - Scott Moore on Cybersecurity, Salad, and Heavy Metal

Beers & Bytes Podcast

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!
