In this episode we revisiting last week’s topic of cybersecurity and mental health – this time, looking at how our mental health state affects our ability to be able to make good cybersecurity decisions.

To break down this important topic, we’re joined once again by Catherine Knibbs, a Psychotherapist and specialist in online harms.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

In this episode we are looking at a topic which we could spend a whole lot longer than one episode on, so we’re going to make it a two-parter - cybersecurity and mental health. 

We’ll be looking at two aspects in particular - why our health data is particularly vulnerable and of interest to criminals, and how our mental health state affects our ability to be able to make good cybersecurity decisions. 

In this episode, we’ll be discussing the first part of the equation with Catherine Knibbs, a Psychotherapist and specialist in online harms.

Some of you listening might be thinking that Wifi 6 only launched a couple of years ago, and, well, you’d be forgiven for doing so. Launched in 2020, its rollour was hamstrung by COVID and the standard only became dominant in the last year or two.

But now there’s a new standard: WiFi 7. It’s due to be ratified by the end of this year, although it’s already appearing in certain products. It promises a huge boost to the speeds and latency of Wifi, giving a wired-like experience.

So, is it time to upgrade… again? This week we’re joined by Darrel Rhodes. He’s a Consulting Systems Engineer at HPE Aruba Networking.

In this episode we are looking at the growing market for no code or low code app development. The premise is simple. Rather than coding an app or tool yourself, you simply drag and drop pre-existing components, data sources, and data outputs into a map, and set the actions to whatever you need.

However, there are challenges, including the creation of shadow IT systems within an organization, and giving non-experts the ability to interact - potentially destructively - with your data. Joining us today to discuss the challenges and opportunities is Richard Kerridge, a strategist in HPE Education Services customer team.

2024 has already been a difficult year for extreme weather. The hurricane season on the eastern seaboard of North America is already one of the earliest active seasons on record. Meanwhile, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US, as of August 8th, this year has already seen 19 weather events cause damage upwards of a billion dollars, with 149 people left dead. That’s in the US alone.

So, how are supercomputing and high performance computing helping to mitigate the effects of such extreme weather? Joining us to discuss is Ilene Carpenter, Earth Sciences segment manager at Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

The global market for databases grew by 12.8% in 2023, according research by Gartner, and is now worth some $102bn annually. Within that, data science and AI platforms were the fastest-growing subsegments.

Clearly, there’s a growing need for smart database solutions that can interpret data and provide insights to all levels and roles within an organization. And it’s one of those solutions we’re looking into today - HPE’s Intelligent Data Platform. Joining us today to find out more is Rangan Sukumar, a distinguished technologist in the chief technology office at HPE, responsible for HPC and AI.

Machine-learning based Generative AI is inherently inefficient. Training models by sifting findings again and again until a suitable output is generated is a time-consuming – end energy-consuming – process. So, could there be a better way to look at training our AI systems?

Well, one possible option is physics-based AI, where training is viewed as an energy grid, and the best possible route though that grid mapped to find outputs. It’s a novel way of thinking, but it could change our whole approach to AI.

There are math problems that are hard. So hard that even current computers cannot solve them. To get around these problems, we need to re-think the very foundation of how we architect our IT, by using a technological field called 'novel accelerators'.

It sounds complicated, but today's guest is particularly skilled at explaining incredibly complicated concepts. He says: "Right now, Generative AI and accelerators are at the forefront of being able to help with these major advances, and the world could change in really significant ways. Medicine, materials, energy, information technology... to harness these systems to help us - not to replace us."

In this episode, we’ll be taking you on a trip to London for the final race weekend of the 10th season of the Formula E championship, which was held on the weekend of the 20th and 21st July.

We’ve been looking at the tech behind the event, how Formula E is transforming the world of racing, and what our organisations can learn from the cutting edge of motorsport.

One of those areas is in training and familiarity. Knowing the circuit and how the car will behave at any given moment is obviously a huge advantage. But how do you work that out when you’ve only got the race weekend?

Well, one way is to use track and car simulations - essentially, incredibly accurate digital twins of a racetrack with a full suite of driving controls and simulated movement, where drivers can test their setups in a variety of conditions, to prepare for race day.

Here to talk more about that are this week’s guests, from Maserati MSG racing: Cyril Blais, deputy team principal, and driver Maximillian Günther.

Subscription-based IT is becoming increasingly popular – not just for software, but also for hardware. This means our IT is increasingly not a capital investment, but an operational expense, which means different people are paying for it from different budgets. And those people aren’t always the most IT savvy.

So, what does this mean for our organisations, and how do we make sure that the right people are being educated to ask the right questions when it comes to IT? To help us unravel what’s going on, we’re joined today by Bob Panos, senior VP of Sales and Strategic Partnerships at American Digital.
