Data is the lifeblood of business. It helps drive deep insights and better decisions, improve processes, and offer a deeper understanding of customers, partners and business. Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) enables us to learn from data, identify patterns and make better decisions that augment human capabilities. This provides businesses new ways to grow revenue, attract and retain customers and become more operationally efficient. Further, AI/ML can help automate tasks as well as accelerate untapped insight in previously unexplored areas. Almost all industries in every sector from banking to healthcare and manufacturing are trying to take advantage of these benefits.

Shaping a Diverse and Stronger Cybersecurity Industry
Aside from scuba diving and working with Cisco customers to improve cyber resiliency, cooking is one of my greatest passions.

Serverless Security for Public Cloud Workloads with Stealthwatch Cloud
Each year goes by and we find more ways to own less and less of what it takes to operate our digital infrastructure. Information Technology began as a business having to build data centers owning everything starting with the real estate all the way to the applications, quickly it moved to public clouds whereby the infrastructure itself was a service managed by the provider and you only needed to manage the virtual servers up through your applications. The latest in this trend is serverless computing.

Meraki-Powered Managed WiFi for Small Businesses
We live in a time when most of us comfortably carry enough computing power in our pockets to simultaneously send multiple space missions to the moon and back. With such nonchalant and constant access to powerful technology, our expectations have never been higher. No matter the location – whether a small independent coffee shop or the local branch of a global coffee chain – we expect to connect to fast, reliable WiFi.
