Let's Talk Shop

Today's episode of Let's Talk Shop has been a long time coming. In a technology-driven world, security is woven into the fabric of society. It's time to talk security and who better to do it with than with NetSkope's field CTO and former Gartner colleague and security analyst Steve Riley. We talked cloud security, edge security, we talk about ESG and the potential threats from hacktivists (that was a really really interesting scenario I had not thought of). Great episode!

Many of you have texted, IM and emailed me asking if I regret leaving Gartner. Am I part of the "great regret". I figured I would give you an update after one year of leaving Gartner. Do I regret leaving? what am I working on? what do I have planned for the rest of 2022 and 2023.

Help bring clean and safe water to every person on the planet. Have you ever considered the importance and impact of clean water on a community, on a society, on our entire way of life? Think about it for a second. Charity Water is one of those nonprofit organizations that I am passionate about, that has touched my heart in every way and that is one of the most noble causes I have ever come across. Imagine my surprise when I learned about how this amazing nonprofit is also leveraging technology, specifically Edge Computing and Internet of Things (IoT) to improve their efforts. Charity Water even goes further by always being on the cutting edge of technology! this episode of Let's Talk Shop is a MUST WATCH/LISTEN! and who better to tell us about Charity Water and its technology efforts than its Chief Global Water Officer (coolest title ever) Christoph Gorder.
