  • Zero Trust Network Access and Virtual Private Networks: The VPN vs ZTNA showdown
    May 9 2024

    In this episode we are looking at why people are moving away from Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, and are navigating towards Zero Trust Network Access, or ZTNAs.

    VPNs have largely been unchallenged as the go-to cyber security option for organisations since they first came about in the mid-1990s. However, they do have security flaws which have been exploited by hackers and cyber criminals, leading many to ask whether there’s a more secure solution.

    Joining us to discuss why ZTNA is becoming a more popular security option for organisations is Jaye Tillson, HPE’s Director of Strategy in Cyber Security.

    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.

  • Synthetic data and the next generation of AI creativity
    Apr 25 2024

    Today we’re discussing synthetic data - that is, data trained by AI and computer simulations, rather than gathered from the real world.
    Now, generating theoretical data is nothing new - we’ve been taking small samples of things and extrapolating from it for decades. However, with the advent of AI we don’t necessarily just need to extrapolate. We can generate completely new, close-to-real data using AI.

    But why? And why does it matter? To explain we’re joined by Chief Technology Officer for AI at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Matt Armstrong-Barnes

  • The potential of AI for stopping cyber security threats
    Apr 18 2024

    According to a report published by the UK National Cyber Security Centre in January 2024, Artificial intelligence will increase the number and the severity of cyber attacks over the next two years.

    So how are AI models also being developed to effectively tackle cyber crime? And what is the potential of AI for stopping cyber security threats? Joining us this week is To fill us in Rohini Chavakula, AI security lead at Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

    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.

  • How can we avoid the human being a security weakpoint?
    Apr 4 2024

    For the last decade, messaging around cyber security has often followed a similar pattern: Make people fear the consequences of being hacked. We are only human, after all. We’re flawed, and we’re fallible. So are we the weakest link in the cyber security chain? Or is there a better way to look at it?

    To answer that, we’re joined this week by HPE Cyber Security Awareness Training Program Manager, Joanne O’Connor.

    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.
