The 9-to-5 IT job is fading fast—not because people don’t want structure, but because modern tech demands never clock out. In this episode of Behind the Screens, Jason Samuel explores the shift from time-based work to outcome-driven contribution in IT and cybersecurity.

From adaptive roles to global handoffs and always-on security, we’re entering an era where autonomy, impact, and trust define the culture—not calendars. If you're navigating hybrid work, 24/7 threats, or just wondering why “presence” no longer equals productivity—this episode is for you.

You’ve mastered the tool. You’ve earned the cert. But are you actually growing—or just getting better at staying still? In this episode of Behind the Screens, Jason Samuel unpacks why raw technical ability is no longer enough to keep you relevant in the evolving world of IT.

From strategic awareness to cross-functional value, Jason outlines the non-technical skills that fuel career resilience and make you stand out when it matters most. If you're chasing your next promotion—or just trying to stay sharp—this is your roadmap to real, lasting growth.

In this episode of Behind the Screens, Jason Samuel explores one of the biggest blind spots in enterprise security today: your developers.

🔐 Every company is now a software company — which means developer activity is directly tied to business success and risk.

Jason breaks down the four major ways developers introduce vulnerabilities:

- Code flaws and hard-coded secrets

- Access sprawl across tools and environments- Shadow IT that flies under the radar- The broad attack surface of remote work

But there’s a solution.

Jason introduces Citrix + Strong Network — a powerful combo that embeds zero-trust security directly into the developer workflow while maintaining speed and agility. From secure cloud IDEs to real-time observability and seamless policy enforcement via Citrix DAS, this episode covers how to secure your devs without slowing them down.

If you care about innovation, velocity, and security, this is a must-listen.
