In this episode of The Orange County Power Players Podcast, host Danny Flores sits down with Brett Macomber, a leader in business and information technology with a background that bridges construction and cybersecurity. Brett shares how his early career in general contracting uniquely prepared him for the IT and security space — from physical installations to cloud-based solutions.
Brett and Danny dive into what it takes to keep today’s businesses running efficiently and securely, exploring topics like:
-
The evolution from on-site servers to cloud computing
-
Why physical IT closets still matter
-
The growing importance of mobile and remote work setups
-
Firewalls, backups, and why “bulletproof” security doesn’t exist
-
How AI is shaping IT operations and the next generation of workplace tools
Brett also discusses the human side of cybersecurity — why staff training and awareness are just as important as technology — and shares his vision for the future of “Agentic AI” in business operations.
