Gone are the days of merely safeguarding school computers! Censornet, a rising star in the tech industry, has undergone a remarkable transformation. From its roots as an internet security provider for educators, it has emerged as a trailblazing force in digital risk management. 
Today, Censornet offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed to confront the dynamic challenges of the digital landscape, ensuring a safer and more secure online environment for all. This evolution stems from recognising that traditional threats are no longer the sole concern. With the proliferation of Shadow IT, unauthorised applications and devices, and the rise of insider threats, organisations face a complex array of risks. 
In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Jonathan Care, Advisor at Lionfish Tech Advisors, speaks to Gareth Lockwood, VP of Product at Censornet, to discuss:

The traditional data warehousing landscape is changing. The concept of private data cloud offers a compelling alternative to both cloud PaaS and traditional data warehousing. Imagine a secure, dedicated environment for your data, existing entirely within your organisation's control.
Yellowbrick, a leader in private data cloud solutions, empowers businesses to leverage their data on their terms. Their Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) approach offers unmatched flexibility and control. You can deploy Yellowbrick anywhere your data needs to be—public cloud, private cloud, or even the network edge. This ensures compliance with regulations and keeps your data exactly where you want it and can bring down costs. 
In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Wayne Eckerson, President of Eckerson Group, speaks to Mark Cusack, Chief Technology Officer of Yellowbrick, to discuss:

Amid the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, organisations are constantly challenged to ensure security. Conventional security methods are failing to keep up with the escalating volume and sophistication of attacks. By implementing Managed Detection and Response (MDR) with automation, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) can optimise workflows, augment analyst capabilities, and significantly enhance the organisation's overall cybersecurity defences. 
Palo Alto Networks offers comprehensive MDR services, leveraging its threat intelligence and cutting-edge technology expertise. Unit 42, its esteemed threat intelligence team, is crucial in providing valuable insights into emerging threats and trends, empowering organisations to stay ahead of malicious actors. 
In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, speaks to Ophir Karako, Software Engineer (Unit 42) at Palo Alto Networks, to discuss:

The data analysis landscape is on the precipice of a paradigm shift. Generative AI (GenAI) promises revolutionary insights, but traditional systems struggle to feed its insatiable appetite for well-structured data. Imagine GenAI as a high-powered engine – it needs meticulously organised fuel to reach its full potential.
In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst Christina Stathopoulos guides Deborah Leff (CRO at SQream) and Jason Hardy (CTO, AI at Hitachi Vantara) as they dissect:

This episode goes beyond theory, exploring real-world examples (like a company querying a staggering 64 quadrillion rows) It showcases the potential for SQream and Hitachi Vantara to empower organisations to make data-driven decisions with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

The SolarWinds breach exposed vulnerabilities within DevSecOps practices, sending shockwaves through the tech world. 
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indictment against SolarWinds further emphasised the gravity of the situation, alleging the company misled investors by failing to disclose these vulnerabilities and the subsequent breach adequately. 
This lack of transparency raises crucial questions about accountability and risk management in the mobile app development landscape, pushing organisations to re-evaluate their DevSecOps practices and prioritise robust security measures throughout the entire development lifecycle.
In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Podcast Production Paulina Rios Maya speaks to Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, and Tom Tovar, CEO and Co-Creator of Appdome, to discuss:
