On the Practical 365 podcast this week, it’s a spooky Halloween special. I’m joined by my co-host – Rich Dean, and this week we’re lucky enough to be joined by special guest Sean Metcalf, the founder and CTO of Trimarc.

In our last episode, we had a fascinating conversation with Alex Weinert, the director of identity security at Microsoft, about the Storm-0558 incident, Alex shared his insights and learnings from the incident, and how Microsoft is working to prevent similar attacks in the future.
