Perimeter PerspectiveWhy Cloud Identity is Your New Front Line in CybersecurityStolen credentials. Risky login behavior. Shared accounts with no audit trail. Businesses that overlook identity management face serious security gaps, compliance challenges, and operational inefficiencies.Most cybersecurity strategies focus on firewalls and endpoint tools—but today, your real perimeter is every login.In this episode of Perimeter Perspective, hosts Michael Moore and Alyssa Birchfield explain why identity is now the front line of cybersecurity—and what businesses need to do to secure it.What You’ll Learn:Why identity management is more than usernames and passwordsHow hybrid work and cloud apps have made t...2025-04-1409 minPerimeter PerspectiveThe Future of Work: Why the Modern Desktop Experience Changes EverythingSlow device setups.

That’s how long it takes—on average—to detect and contain a breach. Cybercriminals aren’t waiting for you to catch up. With automated attack methods and round-the-clock threats, small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) can’t afford slow response times. Traditional security tools detect threats - but without automation, attackers have the upper hand. In this episode of Perimeter Perspective, hosts Michael Moore and Alyssa Birchfield break down SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) - what it is, how it works, and why SMBs need to automate security operations to defend like an enterprise. 2025-03-1115 minPerimeter PerspectiveWhy SIEM and Threat Detection Are Foundational for SMB CybersecurityCybercriminals aren’t just targeting enterprises anymore. SMBs are in the crosshairs, and the consequences are costly.

MSU Press PodcastEncountering the Sovereign Other: Indigenous Science FictionScience fiction often operates as either an extended metaphor for human relationships or as a genuine attempt to encounter the alien Other. Both types of stories tend to rehearse the processes of colonialism, in which a sympathetic protagonist encounters and tames the unknown. Despite this logic, Native American writers have claimed the genre as a productive space in which they can critique historical colonialism and reassert the value of Indigenous worldviews.
