In this episode we are looking at a topic which we could spend a whole lot longer than one episode on, so we’re going to make it a two-parter - cybersecurity and mental health.

We’ll be looking at two aspects in particular - why our health data is particularly vulnerable and of interest to criminals, and how our mental health state affects our ability to be able to make good cybersecurity decisions.

In this episode, we’ll be discussing the first part of the equation with Catherine Knibbs, a Psychotherapist and specialist in online harms.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

Some of you listening might be thinking that Wifi 6 only launched a couple of years ago, and, well, you’d be forgiven for doing so. Launched in 2020, its rollour was hamstrung by COVID and the standard only became dominant in the last year or two.

But now there’s a new standard: WiFi 7. It’s due to be ratified by the end of this year, although it’s already appearing in certain products. It promises a huge boost to the speeds and latency of Wifi, giving a wired-like experience.

So, is it time to upgrade… again? This week we’re joined by Darrel Rhodes. He’s a Consulting Systems Engineer at HPE Aruba Networking.

In this episode we are looking at the growing market for no code or low code app development. The premise is simple. Rather than coding an app or tool yourself, you simply drag and drop pre-existing components, data sources, and data outputs into a map, and set the actions to whatever you need.

However, there are challenges, including the creation of shadow IT systems within an organization, and giving non-experts the ability to interact - potentially destructively - with your data. Joining us today to discuss the challenges and opportunities is Richard Kerridge, a strategist in HPE Education Services customer team.
