Organizations invest $200 billion globally in IT security. However, data breaches and ransomware attacks are still rampant. How can that be? What does this say about the impact of all those investments? We discuss these and other topics with Filip Verloy, Field CTO at Rubrik, one of the big players in this space.

At RSA Conference earlier this year, we recorded a number of episodes for our relatively new Techzine Talks on Tour podcast series. Data security is without a doubt one of the big themes for organizations to get right. As is the case for virtually all other components of cyber security, it turns out to be quite a daunting task to do so.

According to Verloy, one of the key things to do as an organization is to assume a so-called 'assume breach' attitude. This is especially important when it comes to the data of an organization, as that usually is very valuable. One of the trends Verloy signals in this respect is that attackers are shifting from traditional encryption methods to sophisticated data exfiltration techniques. That fundamentally changes the game. It shifts the focus from prevention to resilience, among other things.

Tune in to this new episode of Techzine Talks on Tour to hear much more about what's happening in data security. It's a very important topic that should be near the top of the list of priorities for organizations. Especially with AI and new regulations like NIS2 being added to the equation, effective security posture management is of paramount importance.

Every software company globally is focusing on integrating AI into its solutions. ServiceNow has built one of the biggest platforms and workflow engines today. We talked to Pat Casey, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President of DevOps at ServiceNow, to learn how ServiceNow is building AI into its platform.

ServiceNow has chosen to unify its AI team into a single technology group, ensuring AI will not be the next add-on but a core component of the ServiceNow platform. Casey takes us through the transformative impact of this alignment and how organisations can enhance workflows and deliver superior customer experiences. Dive deep into the Generative AI Controller and understand how it empowers customers to build AI solutions using various large language models, emphasizing the critical role of data in AI training and deployment.

We talk about many ServiceNow platform AI features like playbook generation and prompt engineering that are designed to save time and empower users. Learn about the text-to-playbook feature, which allows even less experienced users to create effective workflows, and a customizable prompt builder that enhances engagement across various applications.

We even discuss ServiceNow's switch from MariaDB to Postgres and modern database management. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in ServiceNow and AI integration into platforms. Whether you are a ServiceNow customer or not, it is packed with expert knowledge. Listen now to this latest Techzine Talks on Tour.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) can be very complex and time-consuming. A lot will change with the introduction of generative AI; processes can be easily automated and made more efficient. We see the introduction of LLMs for analyzing data and processes and even offering solutions for upcoming problems. In this Techzine Talks episode, we talk to Nicky Tozer, vice president of Oracle NetSuite.

Tozer gives insights into NetSuite's innovations, like text-enhance, which streamlines the creation of sales orders, customer campaigns, and support reports, offering substantial time savings. Learn from real-world implementations like Bloom and Wild, who leverage AI to minimize waste and bolster sustainability. Customer feedback is a crucial driver in refining AI for future ERP applications.

Our conversation also delves into the critical aspects of AI integration within NetSuite, focusing on data security and privacy. Additionally, we underscore the pivotal role of NetSuite partners in crafting AI solutions specifically tailored for small to medium-sized businesses with limited IT resources. Looking ahead, there’s exciting potential for these partners to introduce their own models. Listen to this episode where we explore AI’s future in ERP with Nicky Tozer.
