Around the IT Block Podcast

In this episode, we’ll be taking  a look at the overall cybersecurity landscape in 2024. We’ll be asking how threats have evolved, how new tools are helping us attack and defend our organizations, and what to be aware of in the coming months.

To navigate the field, we’re joined by Technology Now first-timer John Spiegel, and returning friend of the podcast, Jaye Tilson. They are both Field CTOs and Distinguished Technologists at HPE.

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.
