MISAC Connect Audio

In this episode of MISAC Connect Audio, we take a deep dive into network and systems monitoring—focusing not just on the tools, but on the challenges, strategies, and best practices behind managing and securing modern networks.

Building on a recent MISAC webinar, our guests Michael Tooma and Zachary Ruiz join me for a candid conversation about alert fatigue, incident escalation, historical data retention, monitoring virtual environments, and more. They share real-world insights from both large and small agencies, offering valuable perspectives on how to fine-tune monitoring systems for efficiency, reliability, and proactive problem-solving.
