Buzzword Bingo

What you do on your company’s network is your business, right? If you are curious about the answer to this or you want to understand more about what you company knows about you, watch this week’s show. Mike and Jason are once again joined by the self-proclaimed “real IT guy”: Michael Lubrano and our security expert: Corey Moomey, Cisco Security CSE. This week we talk about end-user privacy (or lack thereof) on corporate networks. We also rant and this week we rap (well… we don’t actually rap) in celebration of The New Dork in our call-to-action.
