Today’s guests are Paul Hsu, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Nintex, and Dan Puterbaugh, Director or Strategic Development at Adobe. They are going to tell us some stories about business process management and the value of integrating digital signatures into business workflows.

When you think of the Dark Web, what do you picture? Does it look similar to that of the forest through which Little Red Riding Hood travels to visit her grandma? What’s in there? Who's in there? Should you go there? Why — or why not?

We’re at a critical point in time when it comes to cyber talent and cyber skills - and the Cyber Ireland cluster is gearing up to address this challenge head-on with collaboration amongst industry, academia, and government.

So let's sum it up.

Technology is helping more and more to run these microcosms, to give us more services, more entertainment, and to make our travels times faster, smoother, and secure.

Technology needs data to do all of this, and as with many - I dare say all things -in life, it all comes with a trade-off.

While some people may look at their mobile phone and think that it is more than just a phone … that it actually has a persona. Some may even give it a name. Or, naturally, they use the name given to the personal assistant that resides “in” the phone as they call for it … “Hey!”

People are funny, aren't they? Weird things happen in our collective brains. Humans have the tendency to overuse their selective memory, forgetting the bad stuff and idealizing the good; we even create our own fake news in our brain without even realizing it. Humans! So smart, and yet so dumb. Humanity — our damnation and our salvation.

So, what is this podcast about? Ah, glad you asked.

Wait, before you pick one, let me tell you a secret: these statements are both wrong and right. Yes, at practical levels we can make a case for both, and neither one is going to prevail over the other; but from a philosophical and anthropological perspective, I feel quite confident in supporting the statement that technology is intrinsically good. Human nature is defined and driven by intellectual exploration and growth, and ultimately technology is just part of being human — which is the most contemporary, yet probably not the ultimate, expression of our evolution as a species.

ITSPmagazine’s John Dasher chats with Keenan Skelly, Circadence VP of Global Partnerships & Security Evangelist, for a fascinating conversation on cybersecurity learning, training and assessment through their Ares and Orion products. We’ll also spend time talking about women in cybersecurity, and how as an industry we might do better to engage and develop this important resource.

John Dasher sat down with DataLocker’s Director of Channel Sales, Shauna Park, to discuss their solution set, and walk through how industries such as healthcare, financial services and even Hollywood are taking advantage of encrypted storage. We’ll even get a sneak peek into how use cases involving the cloud will come to be supported.

Portable encryption has become central to our ability to transact business on a global stage. And with that, having data begin and remain in an encrypted state is becoming the norm, portable or not.
