This podcast is for business leaders and technology experts who like to stay on top of the latest security news and listen to interviews with insightful industry leaders. Episodes will be a combination of two different formats. We’ll be featuring Coffee Break length podcasts inspired by our monthly webinar series, Envision IT Coffee Breaks, where we take a deep dive into technology hot topics. We’ll build upon that month’s webinar topic by interviewing a Subject Matter Expert to gain even more perspective. Separately, our Espresso Shots will be short, impactful podcasts focused on all things security. As business leaders and technology experts we have to recognize the increasing importance of IT security in the rapidly changing technology landscape.
