Welcome back, we are going to continue our conversations about women in tech and what it takes to become a data engineer in this industry. We are also going to talk about what data engineers really want in tools to make their life easier.
Today, we are talking to Lee Blackwell, an architect and data engineer at Databricks, about why diversity and company culture matter, and she is going to fill us in on what data engineers really want.
NetApp's very own storage guru, Rajesh "Sheik" Kapoor talks with us about the importance of mentors and about his journey through the world of tech.
Today we are talking to another legend in the tech community. His presence has been huge and and he has been a mentor to many.
I remember watching the Jetsons when I was a kid. The promise of pushing a button and letting machines do the work was the future cartoons promised me.
It was a young child’s vision of the future, but that vision isn’t that far from reality.
Today we are going to dig into Robotic Process Automation. So, buckle in, here come the robots.
In the world of emerging tech, Venture Capital plays a huge role. We have seen the rise of some of the biggest and most successful technology companies from the portfolios of VC firms. Still, much of it is shrouded in mystery. We are going to dig into Venture Capital.
I think one thing we can all agree on is that robots are cool.
Really cool.
Robots come in many shapes and sizes.
There are dancing robots, scary robots , villanous, murderous robots, surgery robots, romantic robots, domesticated robots, and robots that entertain cats.
I was recently called out for not having enough women on the podcast, and it is a very fair criticism. Out of the last 34 interviews I have done over the last year, only 2 have been with women. Today we are going to talk diversity and data.
Women are underrepresented in technology. It can be a difficult career path for women and the underrepresented people. Today we are going to be talking about diversity, equity and inclusion in technology and how that impacts the things we build, and at the center of that is data.
In IT, there is a tremendous amount of jargon.
We are constantly using acronyms and abbreviations and obfuscating meaning.
And, I have to admit, I have used terms without fully understanding their meaning, even though I thought I did
Zero Trust, Microsegmentation, What does it all mean and why does it matter. Well, we are going to try to answer those questions today, because we are talking with Illumio, so stay tuned.
Hi everybody, welcome back to another FUTRtech video podcast. We are going to be talking about a couple of hot topics in security, Zero Trust and Microsegmentation. So many companies have been told by their auditors to segment their systems, but it hasn’t been smooth sailing. Zero trust is talked about a lot, but few companies have made it work.
With the infrastructure sprawl that has been accelerated by the pandemic, many companies are flying blind without the necessary visibility into their assets. Over the past few years, one company has emerged and grown to be a dominant player. Today we are going to talk to the big dog in the monitoring space, Datadog.
Today we are talking with SentinelOne. Their product faired better than most against the SolarWinds attack. To quote their site, “SentinelLabs, the research division of SentinelOne, has confirmed that devices with SentinelOne agents deployed were excluded from the SUNBURST attack from an early stage, even before any communication with a malicious C2. Technical analysis confirmed that SUNBURST was unable to disable or bypass SentinelOne in any environment.” I’ll let that sink in for a second.
There are some people in IT who become quite notable for always being at the center of great things. They enable others with their knowledge, and by doing so, they rise to legendary status within the community. Today we have just such a person, Duncan Epping.
Here at FUTRtech, we love to talk about great new companies. We also have been talking a lot about security these days with major breaches regularly appearing in the headlines. Today you are in luck, because we are going to be talking about both.
One of the challenges with security is knowing where to spend your money and where to put in the effort to achieve the best results. The truth is, unless you know what the state of your security is, it is very hard to take effective measures to protect your organization.
Today we are going to be continuing our conversations about security by talking with Arctic Wolf CEO Brian NeSmith.
Brian has been a fixture in the industry for quite a while. Prior to Arctic Wolf, Brian was CEO of Blue Coat Systems and Ipsolon Networks. Arctic Wolf is a rare venture backed services company that has raised $350 million and is solving security challenges for Small and mid sized businesses with an eye toward the Enterprise.
Today we are going to be talking about re-invigorating your career during a Pandemic with Organizational Psychologist Nick Tasler who appeared in Podcast #9 back in May of 2020.
When we first talked with Nick Tasler in May of last year, he was trying to figure out what he was going to do when the events industry went into lockdown effectively ending his work as a keynote speaker. We talked about pivoting, and Nick made a great pivot.

There have been some very high profile hacks in the news lately. Some of these have even been hacks of security vendors themselves, from Microsoft to FireEye, but perhaps one of the most disturbing was the recent SolarWinds hack that we are just starting to come to grips with. If you are not familiar with the details of this attack, you need to be. Today we are going to talk security so buckle in.
