In the first episode in our customer interview series, Joe DePalo, Vice President and Chief Platform Officer at Netskope, joins Avi Freedman and Jezzibell Gilmore of Kentik to explore how content delivery networks (CDNs) enable the seamless, high-performance internet we take for granted. We demystify some of the “magic” of the internet, and highlight the critical role of edge connectivity in reducing latency, optimizing delivery, and ensuring great user experiences. We also explore the challenges of maintaining a performant internet as we end 2024: What are the evolving network performance and security demands? And why does making them work well remain a tough problem?
