The SysAdmin in 2026
from RunAs Radio · host Richard Campbell
A new year - and so much to do! To start 2026, Richard flies solo again to discuss the issues he's seen on sysadmins' minds as we head into the new year. Obviously, AI is eating up a lot of the conversation from many different angles: tools that can help us be more productive, security issues in our organizations due to misuse, and now, AI-driven hacking. Security still looms large, and not just from an AI perspective - the latest round of supply chain attacks has led to litigation, putting new emphasis on making sure you're secure. Windows has a new leader, things are changing there, and there's the ongoing migration to the cloud. Does it still make sense? There seems to be more concern about data sovereignty than ever, and some meaningful conversations to have.
