The path toward a Zero Trust architecture to improve cybersecurity for modern enterprises in a hybrid IT landscape often seems overly complex and burdensome. Alexei Balaganski is this week's chat partner for Matthias and he draws attention to an often overlooked benefit of such an infrastructure. One key idea of Zero Trust is to actually reduce complexity and unnecessary effort and instead focus on what really needs to be protected.

This episode concludes the four-part series on hybrid IT. To wrap things up, Mike Small and Matthias focus on the latest developments in hybrid infrastructures, between containers, hyperconverged, edge and cloud in a box.

Part three of the four-part series on hybrid IT looks at approaches to appropriately manage and evolve hybrid architectures. Mike Small and Matthias put the focus not only on technical management, but also on appropriate governance in particular.

Mike Small and Matthias continue their four-part series on hybrid IT, looking at the increasing complexity: they look at multiple dimensions of the challenges that come with deploying and operating hybrid IT architectures.

This is the kickoff of a four-part series of podcast episodes around hybrid IT. Mike Small and Matthias explore the fundamentals of modern architectures between the cloud and the traditional data center.

In episode seven of this podcast, John Tolbert and Matthias first looked at Fraud Reduction Intelligence Platforms more than a year ago. Much has happened in this market segment since then, and on the occasion of the release of the updated Leadership Compass, they look at the latest innovations.

Anne Bailey has just completed extensive research into the new market segment of AI Service Clouds. In this episode, she explains this innovative concept, which aims to overcome the lack of qualified personnel and bring artificial intelligence and machine learning to more companies.

Your DNS server knows what websites you use, what the name of your mail server is, and which corporate services you use while working from your home office. And there are even broader challenges when it comes to protecting sensitive personal data in that context. Alexei Balaganski and Matthias continue their conversation about a fundamental Internet resource, the Domain Name System, this time walking the fine line between technology and trust.

Some internet services are so deeply woven into the core infrastructure, that they are just taken for granted or even ignored in our daily digital life. One example is the Domain Name System. Alexei and Matthias discuss the basics of DNS, look at current cybersecurity threats targeted at it, and explain how they can be mitigated.

Maintaining finer grained access by administering AD groups through dedicated and delegated application administrators is the reality in many organizations. Martin Kuppinger and Matthias discuss these types of indirect authorization management and why they are no good choice, even more when AD becomes legacy.
