In this episode  we will be going under the hood with Rapid7 - all around detection and response security and de-mystify some of the new terms entering the industry. We look at current security trends, the power of automation and challenges we are seeing in the landscape. 

This time we're joined by the Cisco security team to discuss both the implications and solutions involved in making sure that security teams not only protect their endpoints, applications and teams but also leverage additional insights and control through end to end visibility and segmentation.

We discuss the some of the main considerations IT Teams should bear in mind when looking at their storage's backup and restore capabilities with Max Brown and Stephen Bailey from Pure storage, plus Natilik's own Data Centre expert, Nigel Pyne.

We also get a couple of examples where Pure Storage have helped clients succeed and reduce restore time to save IT teams and guarantee crucial business uptime.
