The contents of this blog

The contents of this blog is outdated, and I have not updated anything or added new stuff. Please have that in mind if you read here. 

It is interesting to see how many have read my posts, and hopefully some of you have found something that helped you in some way. I started working with Rights Management Server back in the day when everything was in black and white (or so it feels sometimes), and have set up and configured many solutions for customers. In my experience, the best Purview solutions out there are the ones where people have put in the work, learned about the information they want to protect, and asked themselves: What is it that we are afraid of? What is the worst that can happen. And how can it happen.

These days my work is almost entirely about AI, as I am sure they are for many of you out there. For me it is just a new way to think. More things to learn. But I cannot stop myself from thinking that the best times in IT has come and gone. Where I previously had to find out something, I can now get AI to do those things for me. And I am not sure it is good for us to stop figuring out stuff for our selves. It has been a long time since I wrote a peace of code, or a PowerShell script from scratch, and I loved those days where you could sit for an entire day working on "the perfect script". But that is the way the world works I suppose. The wheel keeps turning, and if we want to "stay relevant" we need to learn the things that are needed.  

I will leave the contents of this blog here for a while. More as a history of the things we did and problems we had. A lot of things have happened in the area of Security and Compliance, and who knows? I may start writing things again. 

Next year I will be celebrating 30 years in IT, and in some ways it feels like a short time ago when I started working on my 486 SX-33, Windows NT 3.51 and a CRT screen. I often felt like I was cheating, since I went to work everyday feeling like I got paid for doing the stuff I loved. I still feel lucky to be able to do the things I love, and work with technology, even though it is not the same as it used to be. 

 

Hopefully we will be able to do some amazing things with the help of AI, and hopefully we will be able to do that while still making sure people are always considered in all we do. My biggest worry about the IT business are the young people who are working on a degree in IT now, or who are starting out now. If this is gonna be good for us, we need the system to work. Young people still need to feel the same as we did: If you put in the work, you will get a chance. 

Well, that was me rambling. Best of luck to all of you out there. If you should take one thing from this t is Never Stop Learning.
