Today we are going to take a look at an Open Source company that is accelerating data with their storage engine, but we are also going to see how moving to an open source model really accelerated their growth.

Hey everybody, this is Chris Brandt, here with Sandesh Patel. Welcome to another FUTR podcast.

With all the competition in the market, shifting to an Open Source model can really be a differentiator. When the founders of Speedb were trying to find a way to accelerate their data access, they looked at the available tools and realized that to get something that would handle the rapid expansion of metadata, they would need to build it themselves. When they took it to market, they realized that getting their message to the people who needed to hear it was difficult. By switching to an Open Source model they caught the attention of the developers at the heart of their market. So let's talk with Speedb co-founder and CEO Adi Gelvan about what their journey and about how their storage engine can help with the expansion of metadata in your environment

If you are like me, you have been building automation into your home. I started with lights and plugs and that became locks and cameras and so many other items. All the lighting here is automated.

One of the things I love is seeing technology applied to everyday things you don't think much about. If you have ever spent much time in a high rise building, you have been startled by someone with a brush and squeegee outside of your window. Window washing is a business that hasn't changed a whole lot over its history, but now there is a company that is changing that.

Hey everybody, this is Chris Brandt here with Sandesh Patel, welcome to another FUTR podcast.

Do you know who has access to our most sensitive data. Seems like it should be an easy question, but in a world increasingly dominated by distributed cloud and hybrid cloud environments, this can be a harder question than you think to answer. That assumes you even know how to go about finding those answers. Today we are talking with a company that can solve that problem for you.

Hey everybody, this is Chris Brandt here with Sandesh Patel, welcome to another FUTR podcast.

In 2020, when the rush to cloud was in full effect, the founders of Veza asked tech leaders what their biggest concern about this was, and they said it was knowing who had access to their data. So they built Veza, an Identity, Authorization and Access platform. So today we have with us frequent FUTR.tv offender and Veza CRO, Brian O'Shea to tell us why identity and access is so important and how Veza makes it easy.

Welcome Brian

We have talked a lot about security. One of the biggest challenge is not knowing where the next attack is going to come from, and the list of vulnerabilities changes every day. Today we are going to talk with a company that is looking to help you understand what your attack surface looks like.

Hey everybody, this is Chris Brandt here with Sandesh Patel, welcome to another FUTR podcast.

If you don't know what your vulnerabilities are, it is very hard to protect your environment. It is also impossible to understand what your priorities should be. Pentera offers an agentless, autonomous and continuous validation of your environment, to give you the best picture of your attack surface. Pentera overlaps several of the Gartner categories, from Breach and Attack Simulation to Attack Surface Management, but it is something a little different. So today, we have with us Petera's Director of Sales Engineering, Jay Mar-Tang, to tell us all about it.

Welcome Jay
