Connect Axis Communications

We’re facing a huge shortage in cybersecurity professionals – nationally, we’re looking at 600,000+ jobs open. So, what are we doing to close that gap and educate the next generation of cybersecurity leaders? On this episode of ‘Connect,’ we’re happy to welcome Steve Zuromski, Vice President of Information Technology & CIO at Bridgewater State University to discuss how they’re tackling this challenge head-on. 
Together, we discuss the high demand for cyber professionals in the U.S. and what Bridgewater State is doing to mitigate the problem. From their first-of-its-kind Cybersecurity Degree and state of the art Cyber Range to their Security Operations Center (SOC) and partnership with CyberTrust Massachusetts, we explore how their real-world approach is making a difference for both students and communities. We also dive into ZeroTrust, AI, and the importance of strong vulnerability management. 
Join us as we discuss cybersecurity, higher education, and most importantly – how everyone has an opportunity in cyber.

Network video cameras have gone from processing images at 3 frames per minute to providing real-time intelligence through deep learning—to say that that they’ve evolved is an understatement. Today’s cameras are helping to keep communities safer and make business operations more efficient, but how did we get here? And what does the future hold for network video? 
This week on Connect, we welcome the man that literally wrote the book on network cameras – Fredrik Nilsson, VP, Americas, Axis Communications. Now in its third edition, Intelligent Network Video addresses the need for continuing education in the security industry while providing historical context for anyone new to the space. Whether you’re just beginning or a seasoned pro, both the book and this podcast have something to offer. 

Join us as we discuss the transition from analog to IP cameras, how cybersecurity, AI, and cloud capabilities continue to evolve, and explore what’s next in the world of IP cameras.

Artificial Intelligence is here. It’s already impacting your daily life, and it’s quickly evolving. So, what exactly is it (and what isn’t it)?  How do you cut through all the hype? And how can you leverage it?
In order to properly tackle the topic of AI, we required a panel of heavyweights. Accordingly, we’re pleased to welcome three esteemed industry experts to this episode of Connect: Adina Trufinescu, Principal Program Manager at Microsoft, responsible for computer vision and cognitive services for MS Azure Cloud and Edge; Mert Karakaya, Research Engineer at IPVM, in charge of research and testing on video surveillance, AI and other technologies; and Mike Jude, Research Director and author at IDC, who oversees global market research, focusing on video surveillance and computer vision applications.

In this episode we’ll peel back the layers of AI to discover what makes it tick. Adina, Mert and Mike will discuss the building blocks of AI and the ongoing evolution. We’ll delve into different types of AI, examining the latest developments in generative AI, computer vision and multimodal learning. From a more practical standpoint we’ll take a behind-the-scenes look at product testing and discover the factors that contribute to performance, how to detect biases and what it means to break an algorithm. And of course, we’ll evaluate the current market—and future prospects—for AI technology including adoption rates, use cases and major trends.

Join Scott Dunn as he hosts the top experts from companies that are leading the way in AI development, testing and research.

There’s absolutely no doubt, we live in a tech-driven world. So, if you aren’t keeping up with the latest technology trends, then you’re behind the curve. And while today’s jet speed journalism—based on digital media and a 24/7 news cycle—delivers information quickly, how can you be sure it’s reliable and complete? 
In this episode, we welcome veteran journalist Megan Gates, senior editor of Security Management Magazine and editor-in-chief of Security Technology, for the inside scoop on the rapidly changing world of tech reporting. Recorded on Day 2 of the 2023 Global Security Exchange (GSX) in Dallas, Texas, our conversation spans the gamut from digital disinformation and misinformation to the modern tech used to distribute and consume content. 

Megan shares insight on the evolution of journalism, the pros and cons of various content platforms and top tech trends. We reflect upon the influence of print publications, the nightly news and the social media. And of course, we ask the all-important question: “Is ‘fake news’ a real thing?” Finally, we’ll discuss the importance of cybersecurity and examine technologies with the potential to change the future. Join us for a revealing look at the intersection of technology and journalism.
