Welcome to the first installment of Merjan's Musings. It's hard to believe it's been 3 months since I joined ET&T full-time. Every day still feels like I'm drinking from a firehose, but (so far) it's been an incredibly fulfilling and educational experience. I'm glad to have connected with so many clients and have been so impressed by all your businesses' missions and accomplishments.
I'm quickly learning that the world of IT, cybersecurity, and telecommunications is ever-evolving. Our experienced ET&T technicians send me daily pings with news articles and industry blog posts with the latest updates - add it to the firehose! I've parsed out some of the things that have been most interesting to me over the last 30 days, and I hope you will find them valuable as well.
Every month I'll post something similar to this and would love any feedback/suggestions on how you'd like to see this evolve.
As always, if there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to reach out!
