Technology Now

In this episode we are taking a break from the norm to bring you a few of the amazing stories from the world of science and technology that haven’t quite made it into the podcast recently. Our goal is to bring you a lot of amazing stories and important technological developments on this podcast, but the little stories in the middle where we take a break don’t always get the att

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 c

We're celebrating May the 4th be with you. Yes, it's Star Wars Day and we've been given incredible behind the scenes access at none other than Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Courtesy of Jose Corpuz, Principal Software Engineer with Global Engineering Technology and Analysis with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, we've been given an exclusive behind-th

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, cl

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 Roh

AI in healthcare is considered an enormous opportunity. Diagnosis, drug discovery, treatment and triage – all are hot topics for new AI tools and assistance. But is the world ready for AI-enabled healthcare? What are the challenges and opportunities the space presents? To give us the bigger picture, we’re joined this week by Rich Bird, World Wide Healthcare and Life Sciences Le

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 Traini

In this episode we are revisiting HPE Spaceborne Computer 2, the supercomputer at the edge of space, speeding around above our heads on the International Space Station (ISS).Last week, we looked at the science behind the system. This week, we’re exploring how HPE Spaceborne Computer 2 is speeding up the time it takes for experiments to be carried out in space, with the Principal

In the next couple of episodes we’re going to be looking at HPE Spaceborne Computer 2 - a supercomputer on the International Space Station (ISS) that’s revolutionising computing at the edge, and science in space.This week, we’ll be looking at the science behind the computer. Next week, we’ll be looking at the way it’s changing the way research is conducted in orbit and be

In this episode we are looking at how the public sector is embracing the hybrid cloud model and what steps need to be taken to be certain our information, as members of the public, is kept safe. It’s a big issue. In 2021 and 2022 the largest percentage of cyber threats and attacks were reported by governments and the public sector, according to the European Parliament. So, what o
