E13 - Baselines: IT’s Measuring Stick

In this episode of I.T. on Tap, Pieter and Nick tackle the surprisingly powerful concept of baselining all while sipping on L’Epectase from La Brasserie à Roulettes.

Why’s it important? Because without a baseline, every alert feels like the end of the world, and every system change is a mystery. Pieter explains how baselining helps spot real security issues instead of chasing ghosts, while Nick shares why it’s the key to knowing whether your infrastructure is actually healthy—or just pretending.

Expect practical insights, a few “we’ve all been there” laughs, and a reminder that sometimes the smartest IT move is simply figuring out what “normal” looks like before everything goes weird.
