For much of the workforce, it’s impossible to remember life without the internet and those of us who remember life with our “crackberries” are starting to feel ancient. This evolution has made it easier to do business but it comes with a lot of challenges for your IT department, especially when it comes to security. A DIY approach may still be possible, but it comes with real risk. Our expert panel talks about your best approach to cybersecurity and what you need to know before you decide to go it alone. **Panelists** - Dan Schuyler, VLCM - Paul Whittier, Adlumin   ### Episode 126: The pitfalls of DIY cybersecurity   [![Listen to the Podcast](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/416647/f702b571-50cb-4d4f-ae8b-546b9cb9b1f3.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/416647/f702b571-50cb-4d4f-ae8b-546b9cb9b1f3)   Subscribe: [Apple Podcasts](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cyber24/id1291806314?mt=2&ls=1#episodeGuid=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cyber24.us%2F%3Fp%3D648) | [Android](https://subscribeonandroid.com/www.cyber24.us/feed/podcast/) | [Google Podcasts](https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY3liZXIyNC51cy9mZWVkL3BvZGNhc3Qv) | [Stitcher](https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/marty-carpenter/cyber24?refid=stpr) | [TuneIn](https://tunein.com/radio/Cyber24-p1041151/) | [RSS](https://www.cyber24.us/feed/podcast/)     ![hpe](https://blog.vlcm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ITX%202020/Virtual%20ITX/_partners/hpe.png?width=200&name=hpe.png)   Listen, CISOs, we KNOW how hard it is to manage your security posture. With often DOZENS of different security technologies that vary in process, application, and responding to, wouldn't it be nice if you had security baked into your actual server hardware?  [![HPE's Gen10 Servers](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/416647/d8e1d4ac-c18c-46e0-803f-41835ac39ff7.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/416647/d8e1d4ac-c18c-46e0-803f-41835ac39ff7) offer exactly that. As Utah's biggest HPE Platinum Partner, VLCM believes that your server infrastructure should be your strongest defense. Protect your enterprise with innovations in firmware protection, malware detection, and firmware recovery - right down to the silicon.    ![aruba](https://blog.vlcm.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ITX%202020/Virtual%20ITX/_partners/aruba.png?width=187&name=aruba.png)   At VLCM, we know IT departments are overwhelmed with too many technologies to manage, too many alerts to weed through, and have too little staff to do it all. To help lighten the load WHILE eliminating blind spots, we highly recommend adopting Aruba ClearPass in your environment. From IoT to an always-on mobile workforce - especially now - organizations are more exposed to attacks than ever before. With Aruba ClearPass, you can get AGENTLESS visibility and dynamic role-based control for seamless security enforcement and response across your wired AND wireless networks.
