Defending Your Data Moat

We keep coming back to “how do we defend our data advantage” but we don’t know how, or why we should share data with people.

It’s very clear that we should be sharing data and that there’s economic benefit to us to do it. But we haven’t figured out how to do it.

And that’s the question that we’re sort of struggling with in this whole conversation.

Preventing Ransomware Attacks

We discuss security related to the colonial pipeline, and what we could do to improve against ransomware attacks.

What are the different things that are impacts in that type of attack. And it’s really a good exercise in thinking about security, especially security of secondary systems, and hard networks. very robust, resilient conversation.

Image and Immutable Deploy Processes

We go DEEPLY into the practice of image base (aka immutable) deployment.

Image based deployment is when we building infrastructure by cloning systems. That means actually writing the system image directly to disk. We typically start a VM, where it’s already on the disk, and then clone that to an existing system.

Zero Trust and Homomorphic Data Security

All about security, zero trust data, and shared homomorphic security.

If those terms mean something to you, you will find our conversation fascinating. And if they don’t, you better be listening, because these are really important concepts that come together for how we will secure data in the future.

And we really believe that these are transformative technologies that challenge the current status quo.

How Much Complexity Is Too Much?

Is there a Jevons Paradox of Complexity? We started by asking key questions like: How much complexity is too much? How do we measure it? What’s the business risk? DId we make complexity cheaper or just hide it away? Is there a price to be paid for building incredibly complex systems?

We answered these and more in the reference of business concerns and the business value.
