In this podcast segment, Tony Palmer, principal validation analyst at research firm ESG, goes beyond the metrics of testing and validating IT technologies, sharing insights on the emerging business model of a data-driven organization.

In an earlier segment with Palmer, it was evident he’s more than a numbers guy – doing analysis and validation of IT products is his calling card. He describes the big picture and how a confluence of innovations and trends is changing how businesses operate.

Palmer said every company is becoming a data company.

“About 80 percent (of the companies ESG talks to) said that data was their entire business,” he said. “It’s a major part of their business or a helped their business. And they were planning on digital information-based products and services.”

ESG Analyst Tony Palmer: Businesses Accelerating Use of Hybrid Cloud

This episode is sponsored by Intel®.

Discover how the 4th Gen Intel Xeon Processor is revolutionizing enterprise security with advanced threat protection, cloud security, and hardware security. Learn how to improve your IT infrastructure and protect your organization from cyber threats with this powerful solution.

To learn more about how Intel solves enterprise security challenges, I had a conversation with Brian Richardson, who is the Security Marketing Lead for Intel Data Center & AI (DCAI) Marketing Product Strategy.


The key takeaways of the conversation are as follows:

• The main challenges that enterprises face in securing their infrastructure are the increasing number of cyberattacks, increasing regulation, and increased security spending. The traditional software approach to cyber security is no longer enough to stop attacks, which are becoming increasingly more sophisticated.
• Confidential computing is a newer approach to protect data when it is in use, not just at rest or in transit, which is being focused on by Intel and the industry.
• The fourth-generation Intel Scalable Processor addresses enterprise security needs by using technology, such as Intel SGX or Software Guard Extensions, to protect data in use.

INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS:

[00:30] Intel just launched its 4th generation Xeon scalable processor, which is geared towards its Enterprise customer base. One of the topics on everyone’s minds is security. As you know, data breaches are, unfortunately, a very common occurrence, and with that comes the risk of ransomware shutting down businesses and public services, not to mention the damage done to its reputation, which is virtually incalculable. With that on our minds, what are some of the challenges enterprises face when it comes to securing their infrastructure?

[03:21] What are some of the ways enterprises go about solving their security challenges?

[06:35] How does the 4th generation Intel scalable processor address enterprise security needs?

[08:45] Can you share some case studies of the 4th generation Intel Xeon scalable processor in action?

[12:57] How can people connect with you to learn more about the 4th generation Xeon scalable processor?

[13:45] Do you have any parting words of wisdom to share with the audience?

Solving Enterprise Security Challenges

With over two decades of experience in the cybersecurity domain, Chad Lorenc stands as a prominent voice in cloud security and enterprise security strategy. Currently serving as a security leader at Amazon Web Services (AWS), Chad has contributed significantly to advancing cloud architecture best practices and building robust security frameworks for some of the world’s most dynamic organizations. In this insightful Kitecast episode, Chad shares his expertise on cloud security, the evolving role of CISOs, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into enterprise security strategies.

Evolution of Cloud Security: From Apprehension to Opportunity

In the early days of cloud adoption, organizations often hesitated to migrate their operations due to concerns over security and control. Chad reflects on this initial apprehension and explains how the cloud security paradigm has matured over the years. Many companies attempted to replicate on-premises security models in the cloud, often facing challenges with patching, incident management, and compliance. Cloud environments require unique security approaches, with a focus on building specific controls and aligning them with broader security operations and compliance requirements.

CISOs: Leading the Charge in Cloud and AI Adoption

A recurring theme in the podcast is the critical role of CISOs in driving cloud and AI strategies. Chad offers valuable advice to CISOs, encouraging them to lead cloud adoption initiatives rather than being pulled into projects at the last minute. He highlights the tangible security benefits of cloud environments, such as the ease of implementing encryption and other advanced security controls. By taking a proactive approach, CISOs can not only enhance security but also achieve cost savings and operational efficiencies.

Embracing AI and Navigating Regulatory Challenges

As organizations increasingly integrate AI into their operations, compliance and security become critical considerations. Chad discusses how the shift to data lakes and the acceleration of AI adoption have transformed cloud security conversations from traditional security measures to compliance and audit readiness. The conversation also touches on the complexities of shadow AI—where unsanctioned AI tools are used within companies—and how security leaders can address these challenges by aligning internal strategies with business demands. In addition, Chad sheds light on the regulatory landscape, including the growing importance of FedRAMP compliance for federal clients and the balance between rapid cloud innovation and regulatory adherence.

Charting the Future of Cloud Security with Chad Lorenc

The podcast concludes with Chad’s forward-looking perspective on the evolving cybersecurity landscape. He believes that while AI remains a dominant topic, true innovation lies in optimizing security operations and embracing technologies that drive business outcomes. Chad sees an emerging trend where CISOs are not only security experts but also strategic business leaders who contribute to overall organizational success. His parting advice to security professionals is clear: embrace new technologies like AI and cloud solutions with a strategic mindset to remain relevant and impactful.

Pro Tips on Cloud Management

Patrick was a "dyed-in-the-wool" deep packet inspection guy until the day he had an epiphany and realized that pretty soon existing security approaches were going to run into unsolvable problems. His response to that ultimately became Observable Networks, which Cisco acquired last year. In this episode Patrick explains what sustainable security technology looks like (hint: a lot like Stealthwatch Cloud), how it works, how it fits into the larger Cisco security portfolio, and how it protects "the time and attention of its users."
