In 1966, two Brazilian men were found dead on Vintém Hill under bizarre circumstances that continue to perplex investigators and conspiracy theorists alike. Lying side by side, their bodies were discovered wearing matching lead masks—shields with no eyeholes—alongside cryptic notes. Were they victims of a cult ritual, a failed experiment, or something even more otherworldly?

Busting DLP Myths - Justin Bortnick - Ep 164 38:05

3 years ago38:05

38:05

Data is the lifeblood of today's enterprise. Making sure we secure it properly is critical to modern business. We cannot afford data to leave our control in any way that puts our sensitive and important information at risk. In a world of increased data focussed regulations where data, privacy and trust are so critical in our business relationships, the impact of a data breach can be significant. How do we address this challenge? How do we empower our use of data and keep it secure and under our control? That is the subject of this Tech Interviews Episode with my guest Justin Bortnick of Digital Guardian. Justin is a long-time data security practitioner and uses that experience to help simplify the often-complex issues that come with data security. I take this opportunity to learn from Justin’s experience and build an understanding of modern data loss prevention techniques and how technology from industry leaders like Digital Guardian can help you to effectively enable your data security strategy. Join us in this fascinating discussion as we bust some DLP myths by covering. • Learn the basics • Get buy-in • Your first goal – know where your data is • Context is crucial to accurate DLP • Crawl before you run • What are your data loss drivers? • This is not just a technical problem • The Digital Guardian approach • The one thing you should be doing Data loss prevention is a priority for any business serious about its data and Justin’s enthusiasm for the subject and the level of insight he provided was hugely valuable for me and I trust there were for you too.

Building your digital resilience – Edwin Weijdema – Ep163 32:43

3 years ago32:43

32:43

In our last show, we talked about the idea of cyber fit and cyber protection and how, as our demands and the threats to our data change, so must our approach to security and protection. We continue that theme this week as we look at the changing world in which we operate and how that is driving the need to think not only about protection but also resilience, digital resilience. Joining me this week is Edwin Weijdema a global technologist at Veeam. This idea of resilience is key when it comes to security, while much of the security discussion is focussed on prevention, and rightly so, it is important to realise that even the best-laid plans cannot always stop a cyber security incident. When that happens, what is the plan? The way we operate as businesses, our reliance on technology in all walks of life, as well as the ever-evolving cyber threat, have all changed the way we need to look at our security plans and it's crucial that we also know not only how to protect ourselves, but handle it when the worst happens. Join us as Edwin shares with us his experiences and ideas around. • The evolving world • How the cyber threat has grown • Cyber Security Still an IT problem • Building digital resilience • The security triangle People, Process, Technology • Protection without recovery is nothing • Veeam the Risk Management Company I always enjoy discussing this stuff with Edwin, he has great enthusiasm and experience for the topic and a passion for helping others to develop cyber resilience. You can find more from Edwin by following him on Twitter @Viperian or LinkedIn. I hope you found that as useful as I always do when I chat with Edwin.

Get cyber fit get cyber protected - Candid Wuest - Ep162 31:30

4 years ago31:30

31:30

Cyber Security continues to be top of the list of IT challenges most enterprises face. While our businesses continue to evolve in how we use technology, how we work, and how we consume data, so the threat continues to evolve. In the face of this challenge we need to think carefully about how we deliver our security strategy, these modern threats need a modern approach. Earlier this year, I was asked to present at an event hosted by Acronis, this event focussed on taking a new approach to security. The contents of that day stuck with me and I wanted to share with you some of the information from that event. To help me to do that is one of my co-presenters Acronis’s Candid Wuest. Join us as we discuss. • What is Cyber Fit and Cyber Protection? • No single technology will protect you from everything • The holistic approach • Enjoy the SAPAS • Security is complex, but its management shouldn’t be • Having a security business continuity plan • Some tips for getting cyber fit • A little more about the Acronis approach • The value of learning from vendors This is such a crucial topic in the enterprise and as we mentioned in summary, taking the opportunity to learn from leading vendors, can be extremely useful as you help build your cyber defences.

Is it time for object storage in the enterprise? – Brad King, Scality – Ep161 35:34

4 years ago35:34

35:34

Tech Interviews has come out of semi-retirement for a short series of shows looking at another range of Enterprise IT topics. First up, is an old familiar subject of the evolving world of storage, specifically object storage. Why is object storage increasingly becoming part of the everyday enterprise data platform conversation? Is it better suited to modern ways of working, that need data portability at scale? Does it fit better with our modern application development processes, such as containers? To find out I am joined on this episode by field CTO and co-founder of Scality Brad King. Join us as we discuss • What is object Storage • Why object and not just block and file? • Is it time for more object in the enterprise? • The value of metadata • The object use cases • About Scality • Artesca bringing object to the smaller use case The case for object storage as a primary platform for your data continues to grow and there are some use cases it meets extremely well. Although it may not be right every time If you are looking at new approaches to data in your business, it may well be time to explore what object storage can bring.

What does low-code and serverless mean to you? – Mike Williams – Ep 160 34:11

4 years ago34:11

34:11

The demands on business IT continue to evolve rapidly, we need our technology to respond to change, to be deployed quickly, provide scale and flexibility. This is changing the way applications are developing with approaches such as low/no-code and serverless becoming increasingly common. On this week's Tech Interviews we look at these new development approaches and ask what does low-code and serverless mean for you and your enterprise? Joining me to discuss this is Mike Williams, founder, and CTO at BuildLab. We discuss. Trends driving change. What is low code and serverless? Don't get hung up on how, focus on the what It isn't for everyone How do you define the right route for you? What makes a good project? This is not a silver bullet BuildLab, building more with less. I found this a really useful introduction to a technology and approach that is becoming more commonplace. I like Mike's approach, using these technologies to allow the focus to be on outcomes while appreciating that this doesn't work for everyone. I hope you enjoyed that, if you have an idea for a show or would like to be a guest email me at podcast@techstringy.com. Until next time, thanks for listening.

AI is not the genie in your data bottle – Slater Victoroff – Ep159 33:45

4 years ago33:45

33:45

When you talk to any business today and ask them about their top strategic IT goals using artificial intelligence and machine learning to help the business be “better” is often right at the top. It is not a surprise, is it? But not all in the AI garden is necessarily rosy, there are still many, including some high-profile, incidents of major AI/ML projects going bad, with millions of $’s spent for little or no return. Why is that? What does it mean for AI in the enterprise now and in the future? That is what we explore on this week’s podcast as I am joined by Slater Victoroff CTO at indico. He shares thoughts on the current state of intelligence in the enterprise, sharing thoughts on how to avoid project failure, the importance of quality data, how to avoid the data “charlatan” as well as providing some top tips on getting your AI investment right. Join us as we chat about. • AI is not the answer to everything, but it is great at some things. • AI adoption is immature. • Not an android more a bionic arm. • The embarrassing failures. • Get the basics right. • You cannot solve problems you cannot scope. • Clever Hans. • Tips to getting your AI investment right. • Avoid data charlatans. • What do indico do? • Empowering the right people with the right tools. Data analytics, intelligence and machine learning are a core part of most businesses short, medium and long term plans and used right it is a powerful technology that can deliver huge value. However, doing it right takes thought, planning, time and effort. Hopefully, Slater has provided you with some great tips.

The changing world of work – Michael Peachey – Ep158 35:58

4 years ago35:58

35:58

The last 12 months or so have seen the biggest shift in working practices in many generations, the restrictions imposed around the world because of COVID has forced us all to look at the way we operate as both businesses and people. A key part of our ability to survive the last 12 months was, of course, technology, collaboration tools particularly have had a significant role to play, allowing us to easily communicate with each other and our customers, to share information and data, to meet up in daily online meetings to ensure we still had some level of “face to face” communications. Without those tools, the challenges of day-to-day operations would have been much harder. Collaboration technology of course is not something that businesses just consume, there are vendors who build the tools that have allowed so many of us to adapt during this time of massive change. What has the last 12 months looked like for them? What have they learned? What does that mean for us and the future of work moving forward? Joining me this week is Michael Peachey is Vice President, User Experience, at collaboration giants RingCentral and I get the chance to find out from him what the global collaboration picture has looked like over the last 12 months, the changes they’ve seen and what they envision for the future of work. We discuss. • The 12-month experiment. • What RingCentral have learned as a business. • Accelerating change. • Surprises! • Online fatigue. • Cultural changes. • Replicating the “human experience”. • What happens when half the world goes back to the office and the other doesn’t? • Check out RingCentral. I enjoyed this chat with Michael, the future of work is not set in stone for either businesses or those building the tools we are going to rely on, but what is clear, is there is real enthusiasm and innovation not just about how the technology should work, but how the human experience should be improved and that can only be a good thing.

"Transformation" is a phrase we hear a lot, in fact, it almost feels like everyone in the world has some kind of transformation project going on. In reality, over the last 12 months or so, we all have, we have changed the way we operate as businesses and as people. But what does it mean to go through a transformation as a business? What is transformation? How do we do it well? That's the question I ask this week with my guest Chris Gherardini. Chris is founder of Turnkey Technologies a US-based consultancy business, focussed on helping companies deliver business transformation projects. Chris started Turnkey 27 years ago after cutting his technology teeth in an accountancy practice, so comes to this conversation with a lot of experience. Join us as we discuss.

Storageless data, really? - Doug Fallstrom - Ep156 36:06

4 years ago36:06

36:06

Data is everywhere and part of every strategic business conversation how do we use it better? How do get more value from it? How do we truly make it a business asset? The answers to those questions are driving a whole new way of thinking in the way we deliver IT services to a business. New workflows, new development architectures and exploiting technology shifts to try to break the shackles that traditional infrastructure often enforces on how we can use data to meet our business needs. This has led to a steady evolution, virtualisation, cloud and architectures such as serverless which allows us to run our code and services independent of any underlying platform. What if we could achieve that same flexibility for our data? If your business could use its data without restriction what would that allow you to do? That was the thesis of a blog post that I read recently from David Flynn the CEO of my guest Doug Fallstrom’s company Hammerspace and is the topic for this weeks show. Join us as we discuss. • Why we need to be data-centric. • Getting additional value from our data. • Users don’t care where the data is and why should they? • Talk to the non-storage people in your business to know how they use data. • Tips for shifting to a data focussed approach. • The Hammerspace Tech. • The power of the “as a service” model. For today’s enterprise taking a data-centric approach to the way, we build our IT platforms is critical if you want to be a data-driven business. Approaches such as those discussed by Doug, coupled with technical innovations to enable your data strategy is going to be central to your success.

Why Why DDI? – Andrew Wertkin - Ep155 34:07

4 years ago34:07

34:07

The IT landscape is changing extremely quickly as we embrace new ways of working, new technologies, adopt the cloud and have ever more distributed workforces, all demanding increased access to our services and data. These changes are being embraced by modern business as they see technology as a way of driving improved outcomes and new opportunities. However, one thing that often does not change in our business is networking, not only the technology behind it but more importantly the processes we have in place to operationally support our enterprises rapidly changing demands. What then, do we need to change, why and how? That’s what I chat about with this week’s guest Andrew Wertkin, Andrew is the Chief Strategy Officer at BlueCat a company specialising in the management, control and automation of DNS, DHCP and IP address management or DDI (an acronym of acronyms), join us as we look at how the network has changed, how not changing our operational approach is inhibiting us and how to plan for better network management. It’s a fascinating chat as we discuss. • What is DDI • DNS, DHCP, IP Management modern critical services • Without control and governance, you can’t enable change • IT cannot be a blocker • That’s not transforming it’s just upgrading • If you don’t expect your IT to change you’re not paying attention • If you’re not planning you will have problems • Getting your DDI right Andrew offers a range of great insight that I trust you found as useful as I did.

Time to Ignore AI and ML - Rick Hall - Ep 154 31:14

4 years ago31:14

31:14

More effective data analytics is part of most organisations plans, we see the ability to extract useful information that helps us make better business decisions as a crucial part of digital transformation into a more data-driven enterprise. However, perhaps it is not as easy as it sounds, many enterprises have had cause to re-evaluate their shift after their analytics projects failed to deliver the value they had hoped for, but why? This week’s podcast was inspired by a whitepaper I was sent, produced by Analytics company Aginity, the paper was entitled “Forget about AI and ML” which, while a provocative title, offered some interesting insights as it discusses how delivering an analytics project is about much more than technology and has much wider requirements from culture, to who we involve, to how we ensure we have the appropriate data to operate with. This is a topic that intrigues me, so joining me to discuss this in more detail is CEO of Aginity, Rick Hall, he has worked in the data analytics industry for 30 years now and has seen many analytics projects succeed as well as fail and in this episode, he shares some thoughts on how to get it right. Join us as we discuss. • How are we currently using AI? • You’ve got to do the “dirty work first” • What are the challenges we face with analytics? • The “third phase” of analytics. • Democratising analytics. • How to make analytics work better. • Empowering people. • It’s not just a technology shift. • What Aginity do. • The power of collaborative analytics • Top tips for driving better analytics. Data Analytics is high on the agenda of most enterprises, but doing it right needs careful thought and planning, as well as making sure we empower the right people with the right tools. Rick did a great job here for articulating that and providing some tips on how to get this kind of project delivered right in your enterprise.

Viva V11 – Michael Cade and Anthony Spiteri – Ep153 47:04

4 years ago47:04

47:04

As the world of technology and data continues to evolve, so must the solutions that we use to build our enterprise technology stacks, which of course means new versions of products and services from our leading vendors. At the end of February 2021 Cloud Data Management specialists Veeam released Version 11 of their highly successful availability suite. But what does that mean for those of us who deliver, manage and maintain enterprise infrastructure? Because while the world we operate in continues to evolve are vendors listening to the challenges that their customers have? Understanding evolving trends and how they are likely to impact both them and their customers? In this episode, I'm joined by Veeam Senior Global Technologists and regular Tech Interviews contributors, Michael Cade and Anthony Spiteri, as I put those questions to them as we explore some of the key announcements from Veeam's V11 launch. We discuss what was behind some of those design decisions and how are these developments helping to solve enterprise challenges. We discuss. The V11 Strategy Continuous data protection and the critical workload. Be right, not first. Immutable backups made easy. Making innovation available to all. The power of the cloud for long term retention. Helping to balance costs. Improving instant recovery. Protect it anywhere, recover it anywhere. Getting more value from our backup data. This was a jam-packed show and it is always great to catch up with the Veeam team, there is always a real enthusiasm from them for their technology and it's great to see that not only are customers listened to, but what they hear is then acted upon. Michael and Anthony, as always, offered great insight into this significant technology release.

The state of your network - Steve Petryschuk – Ep152 34:25

4 years ago34:25

34:25

Networks are at the very heart of the way business operates in the modern world, with so much of what we do driven digitally the need for us to connect our devices with our applications and data is central to almost everything the enterprise does to function. For something so central to our operations it’s interesting how little we think about it, networks are like a utility, you turn on the tap water comes out, you flick a switch electricity flows, you hook up your device you expect to get connected and in many enterprises, we are as confident of our network as we are any other utility. But should we be? How sure are we that our networks are as robust and resilient as the modern enterprise requires? Is that confidence misplaced? That is something I’ve been considering recently after been sent the latest Network Field Report from network management specialists Auvik. Joining me on this week’s podcast is Steve Petryschuk a Network management expert at Auvik to discuss what they discovered in their survey, how they are seeing the enterprise network changing and what we can do as IT pro’s to ensure our network continues to meet the demands placed upon it. Join us as we discuss. • The background behind the report • The changing role of the networking professional • How has the enterprise view of networking changed? • Why we need network knowledge? • The problem of over-confidence! • The increasing rate of change and are we tracking it? • Embrace change • Proactive management giving us time back • The benefit of better insight • Steps to improving your network posture • The power of automation Steve shared some great insights into what he is seeing in the modern enterprise network, some of the challenges as well as some of the strategic shifts we need to make to ensure we continue to meet the demands placed upon it.

Avoid the Machine Learning Hype – Casey Kindiger – Ep151 33:01

4 years ago33:01

33:01

The entire way we look at delivering IT in the enterprise is changing, the environment we operate in, the operational expectation of our business, how we interact with customers, the speed with which we can react to change are all demanding new ways of architecting and operating our IT systems. Of course, this has led to rapid innovations across enterprise technology from the adoption of the cloud, the way we deliver applications (Kubernetes for example) through to the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to a point where all of these are now common conversations around the technologist's table. The innovations have led to new views of how we see operations as increasingly we adopt DevOps, SecOps, DataOps and of course AIOps. The risk of course with this kind of shift is hype, getting wrapped up with the excitement but finding our changes never really delivered value. How do we avoid that trap and ensure if we are going to use more intelligence and analytics in our operations, we avoid the hype and deliver maximum benefit? That is the topic of this week's show with my guest Casey Kindiger, CEO at Grokstream. Join us as we discuss. What is AIOPS? Pavlov's Dog and IT Ops. Rules-based approaches must change. What is driving change? Wasting quality data! Can't we just throw machine learning at it? It's a cultural shift. Tips for doing AIOPS well. Avoiding the traps. About Grokstream. There is no doubt that analytics and AI, if they are not already, are going to be a daily part of enterprise IT and Casey provided wide-ranging insight into, what for me, is a fascinating topic and I hope you got plenty from it.

Making Compliance Sustainable - Shubhradeep Nandi - Ep150 32:55

4 years ago32:55

32:55

Compliance is a serious discussion point in most organisations, as the use of our information has become an increasingly everyday part of the way we operate our lives, ensuring organisations take care of it appropriately is critical to the privacy and security of our "digital selves". However much of the compliance technology organisations rely on is based on understanding our digital footprint, to ensure the person making the transaction is authorised to be doing it and that transaction is legal and correct. That's great when the use of technology is commonplace, but what when it isn't, how do you examine a digital footprint when there isn't one? On this week’s show, I am joined by Shubhradeep Nandi, co-founder at PiChain Labs a company looking at how they can use leading-edge technology trends to start to deal with the global problem of reducing fraudulent transactions in a world where technology is not always easily accessible and digital footprints are harder to identify. We discuss. Fintech and Regtech what do they mean? How a "black box" attitude means we are missing the gaps in compliance. The size of the problem. How not actively engaging with compliance is a problem. When regulation impacts a financial institution. The problems of "hotfixes". The problem of scale. What happens when there is no digital record? The three steps to making compliance sustainable. Using leading-edge technology to solve the compliance problem. Thanks to Shub for providing insight into what is a massive problem impacting us on a global scale and how by using technological advances we may be able to solve it.
