Podcasts about Windows Server

  In this episode of Cybersecurity today, host Jim Love reports on various critical cyber threats and data breaches. A newly discovered flaw in Windows Server 2025 allows attackers to seize full domain control, referred to by researchers as the 'bad successor' exploit. Government messaging app Telem Message, a customized version of Signal, was hacked, exposing sensitive communications of over 60 officials, leading to its shutdown. Microsoft disrupted the global Luma Stealer malware operation, which had infected nearly 400,000 computers. Coinbase suffered a major data breach affecting over 69,000 customers due to an insider compromise. Additionally, hackers distributed a malicious version of the KeyPass password manager, embedding it with malware to steal data and deploy ransomware. Jim Love encourages listeners to stay vigilant and download software only from official sources. He teases an upcoming interview with a knowledgeable guest working on open-source solutions to cybersecurity issues. 00:00 Introduction to Cybersecurity News 00:36 Windows Server 2025 Vulnerability 03:09 Telem Messages Hack Scandal 05:37 Microsoft Disrupts Luma Malware 07:29 Coinbase Breach Details 08:54 Malicious Password Manager Alert 10:55 Conclusion and Upcoming Interview

Kaseya has launched a series of AI-driven tools and policy changes at its Connect 2025 event, aimed at enhancing operational efficiencies for IT service providers. The Kaseya 365 Ops platform utilizes AI to help customers improve their operational efficiency, with early users reportedly saving an average of 160 hours per month, equivalent to the productivity of one additional technician. Additionally, Kaseya is introducing free-to-use Datto backup hardware for up to three devices per customer, significantly reducing upfront costs for partners. The relaunch of the Datto Alto 5, a 2TB encrypted backup device offered at the price of a 1TB unit, provides better value and security for small to medium-sized businesses.SentinelOne, Huntress, and Microsoft have also made significant updates in cybersecurity and operational tools. SentinelOne unveiled its next-generation Purple AI Athena release, which automates critical processes such as threat triaging and investigation, while Huntress enhanced its managed identity threat detection and response solution to combat the rising threat of identity-based attacks. Microsoft announced that paid subscriptions will be required for its Windows Server 2025 hotpatching service, which allows administrators to install security updates without rebooting their servers, transitioning to a subscription model after June 30th.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced plans to refocus the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on protecting critical infrastructure from sophisticated threats, particularly those posed by China. She criticized previous leadership for mission drift and emphasized the need for improved information sharing across government agencies. Additionally, the Take It Down Act has passed the House, mandating social media companies to remove flagged non-consensual sexual images within 48 hours, raising concerns about potential misuse and the impact on smaller platforms.OpenAI has rolled back an update to its GPT-4.0 model due to concerns over overly flattering responses that compromised user trust. The company aims to refine its approach based on long-term user feedback, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and directness in AI interactions, especially for professionals in decision-making roles. This rollback serves as a reminder for IT leaders to ensure that AI-generated communications are truthful and not merely affirming, as the tone of AI can significantly shape trust in client relationships. Four things to know today 00:00 Kaseya Connect 2025: AI Ops Push, Free Backup Hardware, and Fred Voccola's Ongoing Presence Signal Business-as-Usual with a New Toolkit04:14 SentinelOne's AI Analyst, Huntress's Identity Defense, and Microsoft's Paid Patching 07:24 Noem Refocuses CISA on Infrastructure Threats as Congress Advances AI Image Takedown Law10:29 OpenAI Walks Back GPT-4o Update After Sycophantic Shift, Raising Critical Questions for AI Use in IT Services Supported by:  https://getnerdio.com/nerdio-manager-for-msp/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Significant challenges are being faced by companies like OpenAI as they encounter scaling plateaus in developing new large language models. Host Dave Sobel notes that AI researchers are advocating for innovative training techniques that mimic human reasoning, suggesting a shift in the competitive landscape. OpenAI's latest model, O1, employs a technique called test-time compute, which allows for real-time evaluation of multiple possibilities, potentially enhancing performance and altering the demand for AI hardware, particularly NVIDIA's chips.The episode also delves into the mixed sentiments surrounding AI-capable PCs. Despite a notable 49% growth in sales, these devices only represent 20% of the market, with many channel partners expressing skepticism about their value. A significant portion of IT decision-makers remains hesitant to trust AI for autonomous decision-making, reflecting broader concerns about security and ethical implications. Sobel emphasizes the need for clearer value propositions and better education to promote AI-capable PCs, especially as the industry transitions from the hype phase to a more normalized adoption of AI technologies.Sobel highlights the increasing focus on cybersecurity as CrowdStrike launches its AI Red Team services to protect AI systems from rising cyber threats. With the rapid adoption of AI, risks such as model tampering and data poisoning are becoming more prevalent. The episode also touches on Microsoft's recent issues with unexpected upgrades to Windows Server, which have left some users in a difficult position, and the company's efforts to enhance its update procedures.Finally, the episode addresses the energy challenges faced by tech companies, particularly Amazon, which had its request for increased power supply denied by regulators. As demand for data center power is projected to rise significantly, Sobel discusses the potential for partnerships with nuclear and renewable energy providers to ensure stability and sustainability in energy supply. The episode concludes by emphasizing the importance of energy efficiency in data center operations as companies navigate regulatory pressures and seek innovative solutions to meet their energy needs. Four things to know today00:00 OpenAI and AI Industry Pivot as Scaling Plateaus: Shift Towards Human-like Reasoning Could Redefine Market Competition05:21 AI's Channel Opportunity Grows, But Skepticism Toward AI-Capable PCs Highlights Industry Trust Gap09:01 CrowdStrike, Microsoft, and Box Drive AI and Security Enhancements Amid Rising Enterprise Demand13:01 Amazon's Power Request Denial Signals Rising Challenges in Data Center Energy Demands  Supported by:  https://www.coreview.com/msphttps://getthread.com/mspradio/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

The findings of a recent report highlight the challenges faced by C-suite executives regarding aging IT systems amidst a surge in AI adoption. While 90% of executives believe their technology is top-notch, nearly two-thirds acknowledge that outdated infrastructure poses significant issues, with many critical IT systems nearing the end of their life cycle. The report also reveals that although 75% of organizations are investing in AI and machine learning, less than half report a positive return on investment, raising concerns about cyber attack preparedness among executives.The episode also delves into a growing trend of cloud repatriation, as organizations grapple with unexpected costs and performance issues in cloud environments. A recent IDC report indicates that 50% of companies spent more on cloud services than anticipated, prompting some to transition specific workloads back in-house. The case of SaaS company 37Signals, which plans to save $10 million over five years by moving away from cloud services, exemplifies this trend. Sobel emphasizes the importance of differentiating between various levels of AI adoption, noting that many organizations may only be conducting small-scale experiments rather than full-scale implementations.Host Dave Sobel highlights the rising threat of voice-based AI scams, referencing a study from the University of Illinois that demonstrates how OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 can be exploited for financial scams with success rates between 20% to 60%. Additionally, he discusses a new threat campaign where hackers impersonate IT support on Microsoft Teams, urging organizations to implement training programs to raise awareness of evolving social engineering threats. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has also issued warnings about a large-scale spear-phishing campaign targeting federal executives, emphasizing the need for protective measures.Finally, the episode covers significant developments in automation and AI within the managed services sector, particularly at DattoCon, where Kaseya projected that up to 70% of repetitive tasks performed by managed service providers will be automated by 2026. Sobel also discusses Runway's innovative AI tool that customizes outreach to potential clients, reflecting a broader trend of leveraging AI to optimize sales processes. The episode concludes with a discussion on the general availability of Windows Server 2025, which introduces significant advancements and is positioned as a robust solution for on-premises and hybrid cloud deployments. Four things to know today00:00 Kyndryl Report Reveals Struggle with Aging IT as AI Adoption Soars but ROI Falls Short, Fueling Demand for Service Support04:18 Voice-Based AI Scams Rise as Study Shows ChatGPT Vulnerability; New Tactics on Microsoft Teams and Spear Phishing Surge06:20 At DattoCon, Kaseya Emphasizes Automation as Core to MSP Efficiency, Parallel to Runway's AI-Enhanced Sales Tactics08:50 Microsoft Launches Windows Server 2025 with Hybrid Enhancements as KnowBe4 Unveils New Security Training Post-Breach  Supported by:  https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://mspradio.com/engage/    All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

What does Windows Server 2025 bring to Active Directory? Richard chats with Orin Thomas about the new version of Windows Server coming and what to expect around Active Directory. Orin talks about how mature the Windows Server space is, so only incremental improvements are warranted, but they are important ones - like retiring NTLM once and for all. And when it comes to Active Directory, there are new secure features you're going to want, but you do need to up your functional level to get them, and that means getting to at least Server 2016 functional level first... then moving everything else. When was the last time you transferred a FSMO role? Orin also digs into the new certification practice options available, where instead of answering questions, you do the work and get evaluated - cool!LinksWhat's New in Server 2025SandwormActive Directory FSMO Roles in WindowsWindows Server Hybrid Administrator AssociateWindows LAPSRecorded August 6, 2024

The Federal Reserve has implemented a half-point interest rate cut, with projections for further adjustments in the coming year. Despite a slight increase in the unemployment rate to 4.2%, layoffs have decreased as companies are more cautious, learning from past experiences during the pandemic. This cautious approach is expected to continue due to anticipated labor shortages, creating a favorable environment for IT providers to support clients in their digital transformation efforts.Host Dave Sobel highlights the substantial investments being made in AI infrastructure, particularly a $30 billion fund from Microsoft and BlackRock aimed at enhancing data centers and energy supply. This initiative is crucial for reducing reliance on foreign sources amid geopolitical tensions and ensuring the U.S. maintains its competitive edge in the generative AI race. With lower borrowing costs, IT providers are encouraged to leverage financial resources to enhance productivity through automation, managed services, and remote work solutions, aligning their service portfolios to support AI adoption.The episode also addresses recent challenges faced by major tech companies. Apple's macOS Sequoia is causing issues with third-party security software, prompting Microsoft to advise against upgrading. Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced the public preview of Hotpatching for Windows Server 2025, allowing security updates without requiring a reboot, which aims to streamline update processes. Additionally, Microsoft has deprecated Windows Server Update Services, encouraging businesses to transition to cloud-based solutions for update management, reflecting a broader industry trend towards cloud-based management.Finally, Sobel discusses the implications of AI investments and regulatory challenges, including LinkedIn's suspension of its UK user data policy for AI training following user backlash. A study reveals that AI is underutilized in UK workplaces, with only 4% of adults using it daily. The episode emphasizes the need for organizations to adapt to AI, not just through technology but by fostering a cultural shift towards embracing its benefits. As the landscape of IT management evolves, Sobel encourages IT service providers to prepare for sustainable and energy-efficient AI strategies while addressing the gap between AI's potential and its current usage. Three things to know today 00:00 Lower Layoffs, AI Investments, and Rate Cuts: IT Providers Positioned for Expansion04:09 Sequoia Bugs, AI Expansion, and Hotpatching: How Apple and Microsoft Are Reshaping IT Management 07:56 Microsoft Revives Three Mile Island for AI Energy Needs Amid Regulatory and Subsidy Debates  Supported by:  https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://getthread.com/mspradio/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
