Cloud computing has become the backbone of nearly every modern IT environment, reshaping how organizations design, deploy, and manage technology. This episode explores why fundamental cloud literacy—validated through certifications like AZ-900—has become essential even for roles outside of infrastructure or development. Understanding shared responsibility, pay-as-you-go pricing, and elasticity prepares professionals to contribute intelligently to decisions about cost, performance, and

This episode introduces Microsoft Azure’s position in the global cloud marketplace, comparing it with other leading providers to illustrate where its strengths lie. Learners gain a clear picture of how Azure supports worldwide enterprise workloads through its vast network of regions, availability zones, and service layers.

This episode defines cloud computing in the simplest and most practical terms, breaking through jargon to ensure learners understand its real meaning and value. Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics—over the internet to offer faster innovation and flexible resources. Rather than purchasing and maintaining physical hardware, organizations can access these resources on demand, paying only for what they

The Azure Fundamentals certification, known formally as exam AZ-900, serves as Microsoft’s introduction to cloud computing through the Azure platform. This episode introduces the certification’s purpose, its role in validating baseline cloud knowledge, and the types of professionals who benefit from earning it. The exam does not require prior cloud experience, making it a common entry point for students, IT generalists, and business professionals who interact with technical teams. By

This episode explains the structure and measurable skills of the AZ-900 exam so learners can approach preparation with clarity and confidence. The certification measures the ability to describe cloud concepts, Azure architecture, and management or governance features. Listeners will learn about the question types—mostly multiple choice and scenario-based items—and how Microsoft distributes scoring weight across three domains: cloud concepts, architecture and services, and management and

In this episode of Our Classroom, host Roberto Germán expands on Lorena Escoto Germán’s blog post “Harmful Books vs. Harm-Exposing Books.” Roberto breaks down the crucial difference between books that perpetuate harm and those that reveal it to inspire empathy and justice. Through this lens, he explores how silence, stereotypes, and unchecked bias shape what students read — and how banning books written by marginalized authors silences essential voices. Tune in to learn how educators,

In this episode of The Stockman Grassfarmer Podcast, we feature Dan Glenn, author of “Lean on Nature for Long-Term Profits” from The Stockman Grassfarmer magazine. Dan, a cattle breeder and soil cowboy from southern Georgia, shares how graziers can align their operations with natural systems to build healthier soils, stronger herds, and more sustainable profits.He reminds us that the so-called “weeds” in our pastures may actually be nature’s way of repairing and rebalancing the soil — and

Safeguard 18.2 extends penetration testing to include internal assessments and red team exercises that emulate an attacker with initial access. Internal testing evaluates how far a threat could move laterally, escalate privileges, and access sensitive data once inside the network. Red team exercises simulate full-scale adversary campaigns, testing detection, containment, and response capabilities across technical and human layers. These exercises reveal not just vulnerabilities, but also

Safeguard 17.1 requires organizations to establish and maintain a comprehensive incident response process that defines scope, roles, responsibilities, and communication procedures. This process must include not only the technical elements of response—like containment and remediation—but also compliance reporting, legal coordination, and stakeholder communication. The plan should assign a primary incident manager and designate backups to ensure continuity. Playbooks for common incident

Safeguard 17.2 emphasizes the importance of testing the incident response plan through structured tabletop exercises. These simulations bring together key personnel—from technical teams to executives—to rehearse decision-making during hypothetical security events. Unlike full-scale technical drills, tabletop exercises focus on communication flow, role clarity, and coordination across departments. Scenarios may include ransomware outbreaks, cloud breaches, insider threats, or supply-chain

The remaining safeguards in Control 17 reinforce the full lifecycle of incident response—spanning preparation, communication, testing, and continuous improvement. These include assigning key response roles, defining secure communication mechanisms, conducting post-incident reviews, and establishing thresholds that differentiate normal events from true incidents. Together, these steps ensure that teams can act quickly, share accurate information, and recover efficiently without confusion

Control 18—Penetration Testing—closes the CIS framework by validating how well all other controls perform under real-world conditions. While vulnerability scanning identifies potential weaknesses, penetration testing goes further by exploiting them to assess the enterprise’s true exposure. These controlled attacks, conducted by skilled professionals, reveal how vulnerabilities chain together, how far an attacker could advance, and whether detection and response mechanisms activate as
