HS116: Nth-Party Risk May Put You on the (Block) Chain Gang
Episode in
Heavy Strategy
The evolution of the modern, Internet-driven economy has created the conditions for essentially unbounded Nth-party risks (that is, risks from your suppliers, and risks from your suppliers’ suppliers, and risks from your suppliers’ suppliers’ suppliers, ad infinitum). Nth party risks exist in public clouds, SaaS, software and hardware supply chains, and now in the form... Read more »

HS115: Cyber-Risk Assessment and Cybersecurity Budgeting: You’re (Probably) Doing It Wrong
Episode in
Heavy Strategy
To understand how much to spend on cybersecurity, you have to accurately assess or quantify your risks. Too many people still peg their cybersecurity spend to their IT budget; that is, they’ll look at what they’re spending on IT, and then allocate a percentage of that to cybersecurity. That may have made some sense when... Read more »

HS114: In or Out? Deciding Which IT Functions to Bring In or Push Out

In times of major change–whether in IT or the economy–organizations should take a fresh look at their sourcing strategy.

HS112: Standardizing NaaS Service Definitions
Episode in
Heavy Strategy
Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) promises enterprises the ability to set up and configure connectivity and network security with a couple of clicks.

HS111: When Someone Makes Your Cloud Service Go Poof!
Episode in
Heavy Strategy
The modern enterprise is built on cloud, with most organizations using SaaS for their “horizontal” work horse layers, such as communications, conferencing, HR, and payroll. That makes the enterprise entirely dependent on the good-faith execution and good-will delivery of the cloud providers. Those providers have a huge economic incentive to reliably deliver software – but... Read more »

HS110: Cryptocalypse Soon! The CRQCs Are Due Sooner Than We Thought
Episode in
Heavy Strategy
Google now estimates that the specs for a Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computer (CRQC), which can break conventional public key encryption in a useful amount of time, are lower than they had previously estimated…by 95%. Given the breadth and pace of advancement in quantum computing, this makes the advent of the CRQC likely to happen years... Read more »

HS109: Is AI a Purchase or a Hire?
Episode in
Heavy Strategy
Is adding AI to your environment a software purchase? Or is it more like hiring an employee?

HS108: Keeping the (IT) House Clean to Avoid the Plague
Episode in
Heavy Strategy
Whether it’s CNAME records pointing to dead endpoints or abandoned cloud storage buckets still mentioned in the makefile or Chef recipe, seemingly innocuous bits of infrastructure that don’t get cleaned up can turn into serious security threats. (Both of these examples are taken from real-life attacks, BTW). When and how and who within IT should... Read more »

HS106: Planning for the Epochalypse
Episode in
Heavy Strategy
IT teams deal with technology lifecycle issues all the time–including Y2K, which enterprises across the world grappled with for years. The Epochalypse, or Year 2038 Problem, is similar.

HS105: How to Train Your Unicorn: Thoughts on Ops Architects
Episode in
Heavy Strategy
You need someone to design your operations processes–or perhaps redesign them. That’s an Ops Architect. Should you take an ops person and train them up in architecture?

HS104: How Long Should Your Planning Horizon Be?
Episode in
Heavy Strategy
How far ahead should you plan, and what things belong in your strategic plan?
