Episode Summary:

In this episode, Cloud Reset welcomes Phil Barlow, Director of Partner Technology at Microsoft, to dissect the surprising findings from 2024 ADAPT research. Cloud Security has fallen off the Top 10 investment priorities for Australian IT and Infrastructure leaders, replaced by multi-cloud architecture and generative AI. Jono, Naran, and Phil debate what this means for businesses and whether it’s a step forward or a dangerous oversight.

Why You Should Tune In:

1. Cloud Security Drops Off the Radar: Why is it no longer a top CIO investment?

2. Multi-Cloud Tops the List: Why and why now?

3. Generative AI’s Big Move: How it’s reshaping priorities and how to avoid the POC graveyard

4. Platform vs. Best-of-Breed Security: The Defender debate heats up. Phil and Naran get into the nitty gritty.
