Embedding ESG considerations by design is an imperative - and this must be from the network up! In this special we explore the vectors of ESG change, especially around Sustainability, from opportunities to challenges, notably the intention-action gap regards awareness and actualisation, alongside complexity, and lack of consistency and comparability in measurement. To explore exactly this, I am delighted to be joined by Sarwar Khan, Global Head of Digital Sustainability at BT Group who was recently placed 25th in the Corporate Knights Global 100 list of the world’s most sustainable companies 2023.

In particular, we focus on the launch of the Carbon Network Dashboard and the Digital Carbon Calculator to help organizations accelerate their net zero goals by measuring and reducing their Scope3 ICT emissions. Milestone moments indeed! Alongside this we explore the power of the ecosystem in affecting change, integrative business and sustainability strategy development, inclusive leadership and skills implications especially for CIO's, plus skills advice too! And beyond this, as always :) we talk action on all things Data and Tech For Good including the Digital Boost Mentorship program for UK SMEs.

As possibly today's most misunderstood cybersecurity threat factor, this special shines a light on a growing API Economy - but equally a growing API Security disconnect too. Issues range from API drift, sprawl and lack of visibility, through to misconfiguration, monitoring gaps and challenges applying risk controls from pre-production to live. No wonder perhaps, that this has catalyzed much needed dedicated research such as the recent Noname API Security Report freely available here: https://bit.ly/APIDisconnect

With complete and proactive API protection clearly an absolute imperative for organizations of any size, it could not be more timely to discuss this and the latest cybersecurity trends, expectations and behaviours including differences across both regions and verticals with two superb guests from Noname Security: Karl Mattson CI-SO and Filip Verloy, Field CTO EMEA.

We also explore the technology, testing, change management, DevOps best practices, developer empowerment and educational support that can help address the rapidly evolving requirements in this space. And if you or someone you know is curious around a future career in Cyber Security, please look out for the many courses and examples shared in this episode!

We can make the fastest progress addressing the world’s most urgent sustainability issues when ESG value and business value are aligned - with technology leadership and impact measurement both critical enablers. In this special we explore exactly this with IBM and two superb guests, Christina Shim, VP/Global Head of Product IBM Sustainability Software and Nada Gemayel Santiago, Principal Product Manager, LinuxONE Hardware Solutions.

Supported by new research, we unpack what embedding sustainability by design really 'looks like' across hardware and software including strategy, measurement, reporting, supply chain, asset management and beyond, with a particular focus on Green IT and Responsible Computing, alongside the pivotal role of hybrid cloud to advance today and tomorrow's integration, visibility and flexibility imperatives.

So if you are currently navigating how to achieve the balance of optimising operations and cost, whilst also reducing waste and emissions, this deep dive could not be more timely!

With greater digitalisation and the dissolving separation between physical and cyber comes expanded opportunities - but also the need for superior cyber security protection. Never has that imperative been more apparent than in the energy sector today. In this special we dive into the various vectors of change affecting the Energy, Power and Digital Transformation 'impact triangle' - joined by the always brilliant Jose Razo, Senior Tech Specialist at Microsoft.

We explore the evolution of security threats, especially malware, underpinned by the latest research by Microsoft, and then ways to negate the risk through technology, culture, skills, ecosystem partnership and embedding diversity in security by design. Look out for some fantastic stories that we hope will encourage you or someone you know to explore cybersecurity as a career!

In this episode we explore the state, scope, scale and sophistication of today’s heightened and expanded cybersecurity threats, especially regards ransomware and malware. We unpack the technology that can make a difference, from network segmentation, virus scanning and the application of AI for active threat intelligence - right through to resilient backup and recovery. And equally we unpack the holistic nature of negating cyber risks, notably attention to skills, shared responsibility culture, integrative compliance, agile change management, DevOps and AIOps and even cyber insurance.

So with a recent Veritas study showing that about 80% of their customers now have a ‘cloud first view of the world’ alongside a dedicated approach or ‘6 Steps’ to address ransomware, this was an ideal moment to explore these interconnected themes and upcoming trends with Doward Wilkinson, Sr. Product Manager, at Veritas. Additionally, we share some ‘moments with meaning’ that we hope may inspire you, or someone you know, to explore cybersecurity and the tech sector more broadly as a future career!

The next frontier for innovation is sustainable computing! When we reflect on 2023 priority areas, advancing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) impact is increasingly centre stage, especially with the resonance that investment here creates shared value benefits for business and societal innovation. So how can we move beyond rising consciousness and transparency around ESG, to accountability on results that is measurable, comparable and scalable too?

In this special feature, I am delighted to be joined by the brilliant Nicola Peill-Moelter, Director of Sustainability Innovation at VMware, which sits in the Office of the CTO. We focus on the role of technology leadership and all things actualisation when it comes Sustainability, covering areas including sustainable computing through workload energy and carbon efficiency, the 2030 Agenda and decarbonisation of digital infrastructures, the critical role of developers, supported by sustainability dashboard innovation, and the power of partnership and ecosystem collaboration for change.

We also share a range of examples, advice and resources ranging from the Zero Carbon Committed (ZCC) public-cloud partner initiative right through to holistic STEAM skills development, inclusion in the tech sector and ‘moving the dial’ on ESG measurement – look out for some exclusive news! And all the assets discussed can be found in the show notes - all feedback and follow on questions are most welcome.
