Michael Rogers, in this week's SBAM Weekly Podcast, converses with Blaine Tillander, owner of Granite Networks and a member of SBAM’s Leadership Council. Granite Networks, established in 1998, offers comprehensive IT support ranging from leadership to help desk services. Tillander discussed the shift in IT management from a break-fix model to continuous support, stressing the significance of security and proactive strategies. He stated, “Security is really about layers,” adding that while email security is vital, one must assume it could fail. “Having a third party backup of your entire ecosystem is critical," he noted, emphasizing the importance of recovery plans if systems are compromised.
