In the age of AI, there's no going it alone. Partnership is now an absolute necessity. This conversation between Colleen Kapase, VP of Channels and Partner Programs at Google Cloud, and Elaina Shekhter, EPAM's Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer, demonstrates the value of partnership done right. Their back-and-forth embodies the enduring partnership, and unshakable trust, that Goole Cloud and EPAM have built over the years. Kapase notes that the conversations she's had with partners were often about modernizing cloud infrastructure rather than more nuanced AI discussions. No more! “It's moved beyond a CIO conversation to a product conversation, to a CMO conversation.” Google and their partners are asking: “What are you doing to leverage AI to advance our products or offerings or processes and customer experience?” This kind of working is, Kapase says, an opportunity to “grow, grow, grow, grow” that can deeply impact their partners' customer experience and product development. Shekhter says that lately there has been much restructuring of the partner ecosystem and then asks bluntly: What is partnership *for?* “Just delighting the customer,” says Kapase. “I don't know if it gets any more complicated than that.” Complicating things somewhat, Shekhter wonders if her interlocutor has advice on how partnership can be customer-centric in AI-native transformation work. “It can sound basic, but communication is *so* important,” says Kapase. “It is really the basis of any great partnership… Strong communication just can make you better together.” Better together, indeed. So, for those who are in or want to join the Google Cloud crowd, or care about partnerships more generally, listen up! Much here to learn about partner-driven delivery and adoption, the role of Agentspace and AI innovation, the importance of optimism, and more.

Balazs Molnar, CEO and co-founder of Rabbit, chats with Kieron Allen about the evolving challenges of cloud cost management and how engineering teams have become central to tackling them. He explains why traditional FinOps tools fall short, how Rabbit dives below the surface to uncover hidden waste (especially in platforms like BigQuery) and why automation is essential for real savings.Optimizing Cloud with RabbitThe Big Themes:Cloud Costs Take Center Stage: Companies are no longer asking, "What can we build on the cloud?" They're now asking, "Why is this so expensive?" Rabbit's origin stems from this exact pivot: cloud costs spiraled out of control, catching businesses off guard. Despite robust migration to cloud environments like Google Cloud, companies found themselves ill-equipped to understand the hidden inefficiencies causing waste. Cloud spend can quickly balloon without the right oversight.The Cloud Buffet Problem: Balazs described cloud computing like a buffet: Engineers can take whatever they want, whenever they want. The cloud's flexibility is its strength but also its greatest risk. Unlike traditional on-prem setups that required hardware purchases and physical limits, cloud environments are boundless. Engineering teams now hold the wheel, yet they're typically not tasked to steer toward efficiency. This creates what Molnar calls a "FinOps trap": assuming finance can solve a problem that's fundamentally technical.Why Optimization Matters Now: Cloud vendors are still growing at impressive rates, but cracks are forming. Some businesses are exiting the cloud, not because they dislike the model — but because costs feel unmanageable. Molnar warns that in most cases, this isn't a cloud problem — it's an optimization problem. The promise of cloud was flexibility and scalability. But without proper tools, it becomes unpredictably expensive.The Big Quote: "We all know the news that cloud vendors are growing 30%+ on a year-over-year basis. But we also started to see cracks in the system where companies are actually deciding to move out of the cloud because it's too expensive to them. But the reality [is] it might not have to be that expensive. It's just not optimized."More from Balazs Molnar and Rabbit:Connect with Balazs on LinkedIn and check out more about Rabbit.* Sponsored podcast * 

Send us a textWhen automation fails, it fails spectacularly—and at scale. The recent Google Cloud outage that took down over 54 global services for more than seven hours demonstrates this perfectly. A simple error—blank fields in automated policy updates—cascaded into widespread failures affecting millions of users worldwide. This episode dives deep into what went wrong, how it happened, and what it means for cloud resilience in the AI era.We also explore Cisco's dramatic pivot at Cisco Live 2025, where they've committed to refreshing their entire hardware stack and integrating AI throughout their ecosystem. Their new LLM called Deep Network suggests a future where networking infrastructure makes intelligent decisions autonomously. We discuss whether Cisco can deliver on these promises and what the unification of their Meraki and Catalyst lines might mean for customers.The Ultra Ethernet Consortium has finally released their 1.0 specification, establishing a comprehensive standard for high-performance computing environments. This 600+ page document marks a significant milestone in creating viable alternatives to InfiniBand for AI workloads. Meanwhile, Network-as-a-Service pioneer Meter secured $170 million in Series C funding, raising questions about the actual size and sustainability of the NaaS market.On the cybersecurity front, we examine two concerning developments: the mass exodus of leadership from CISA during heightened threat conditions, and a novel zero-click vulnerability in Microsoft 365 Copilot that can expose sensitive data without any user interaction. This "Echo Leak" vulnerability demonstrates how AI systems that automatically scan content create entirely new attack vectors that organizations must defend against.Join us for a fast-paced discussion about these pivotal developments in cloud computing, networking technology, and cybersecurity.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly recognizing the importance of adopting artificial intelligence (AI) to stay competitive in the market. A recent survey indicates that 97% of small businesses utilizing voice AI agents have seen revenue increases. However, many SMBs still perceive AI as complicated or unnecessary, with 63% expressing concerns about their foundational capabilities to support AI initiatives. Despite these hesitations, research shows that 91% of SMBs that have integrated AI report revenue gains, highlighting a significant opportunity for those willing to embrace the technology.The demand for AI expertise is surging, with a notable shortage of talent in the IT sector. Over half of IT leaders report facing an undersupply of AI skills, a figure that has increased from 28% in previous years. While 90% of organizations are piloting or investing in AI initiatives, more than two-thirds of leaders have yet to see measurable returns on their investments. This skills gap emphasizes the need for IT service providers to step in as guides, helping SMBs navigate the complexities of AI adoption and implementation.Cloud spending has also surged, reaching $90.9 billion in the first quarter of 2025, driven by the need to optimize cloud infrastructure for AI applications. Major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud dominate the market, but the increasing complexity of cloud computing necessitates external expertise. IT service providers have a unique opportunity to position themselves as AI infrastructure enablers, focusing on simplifying hybrid cloud management and aligning cloud strategies with business objectives, particularly in relation to AI.Recent studies, including one from the University of Oxford, highlight the limitations of large language models (LLMs) in real-world applications, particularly in critical sectors like healthcare. While LLMs may perform well in controlled environments, their effectiveness diminishes when humans interact with them. This underscores the importance of designing AI systems that prioritize human outcomes over mere model accuracy. As companies like Zoom, MailChimp, and Microsoft launch new AI tools, the focus for IT service providers should shift from merely selling AI tools to ensuring responsible and effective deployment that delivers measurable value. Four things to know today 00:00 SMBs See AI as Key to Growth but Struggle With Skills and Strategy, Opening Door for IT Service Providers04:53 AI Boom Fuels 21% Surge in Global Cloud Spend, Forcing Providers to Tackle Hybrid Complexity and Cost Pressures07:38 AI Can Diagnose—But Can People Use It?

In deze diepgaande aflevering van Techzine Talks duiken Coen en Erik in de complexe wereld van sovereign cloud oplossingen. Ze ontleden hoe Microsoft, Google Cloud en AWS vergelijkbare beloftes doen over datasoevereiniteit en onderzoeken de cruciale vraag: kan Europa wel zonder deze Amerikaanse hyperscalers? De podcast biedt een kritische analyse van datacenters, encryptie-oplossingen, key-management, confidential computing, Europese partners en personeel, maar ook de praktische en financiële uitdagingen van een echt Europees cloud-alternatief.Aanleiding voor deze discussie was een Microsoft AI-event waar CEO Satya Nadella sprak over sovereign cloud, wat Coen inspireerde om dit maar eens te duiden in een Techzine Talks aflevering. Terwijl steeds meer Europese organisaties en overheden zorgen uiten over datasoevereiniteit, investeren Amerikaanse cloudgiganten miljarden in Europese datacenters en sovereign cloudoplossingen.Hoofdstukken:00:00 Introductie en aanleiding voor het onderwerp 02:15 Wat is sovereign cloud en waarom is het zo belangrijk geworden?04:20 De Amerikaanse Cloud Act en de implicaties voor Europese data07:30 Key-management en encryptie als beschermingslaag 10:15 Confidential computing uitgelegd 12:40 Disconnected en air-gapped oplossingen voor kritieke omgevingen15:30 Microsoft 365 Local en de beperkingen met Copilot 18:45 De AI-paradox: innovatie versus soevereiniteit 19:20 Transparantie en groeiende Europese zorgen (ICC-case) 23:45 Waarom een volledig Europees alternatief praktisch onhaalbaar is28:15 De enorme investeringen van hyperscalers in Europa 31:50 Is het realistisch om zonder Amerikaanse cloudtechnologie te opereren? 34:00 Conclusie en praktisch toekomstperspectiefDe podcast belicht hoe sovereign cloud oplossingen worden aangeboden door de grote Amerikaanse cloudproviders, maar legt ook bloot waarom een volledig Europees alternatief praktisch en financieel onhaalbaar lijkt. Coen en Erik bespreken de mogelijkheden van key management door Europese partijen, air-gapped oplossingen, en hoe organisaties toch veilig gebruik kunnen maken van Amerikaanse cloudtechnologie zonder hun soevereiniteit volledig op te geven.Een must-listen voor IT-beslissers, beleidsmakers en iedereen die betrokken is bij strategische cloudkeuzes in een steeds complexer geopolitiek landschap.#SovereignCloud #CloudComputing #Microsoft #AWS #GoogleCloud #DataSoevereiniteit #GDPR #CloudAct #Encryptie #AirGapped #TechzineTalks #Cybersecurity #CloudSecurity #EuropeseCloud #Hyperscalers #ConfidentialComputing #ITInfrastructuur #DataPrivacy #TechPodcast #Datacenter #CloudStrategy #DigitaleSoevereiniteit #Microsoft365Local #Copilot #GeneratieveAI #CloudRegulering #GAIA-X #EUCloudInitiative #DataResidentie #KeyManagementAbonneer je op Techzine Talks via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube of je favoriete podcast-app voor meer diepgaande analyses van enterprise technologie en blijf op de hoogte van de nieuwste ontwikkelingen in de IT-wereld.Bezoek www.techzine.nl voor meer artikelen, analyses en achtergronden over dit en andere enterprise IT-onderwerpen.

//The Wire//2200Z June 12, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: COMMERCIAL AIRLINER CRASHES IN INDIA, 260 FATALITIES CONFIRMED SO FAR. TENSIONS CONTINUE IN MIDDLE EAST. RIOTS CONTINUE IN NORTHERN IRELAND AND USA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-India: This morning Air India Flight 171 crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad. The aircraft impacted the student housing at B.J. Medical College, a teaching hospital and large medical facility. Local authorities have claimed that there was only one survivor among the 242 souls on board. There is no confirmation on casualties sustained on the ground, however locals have provided the figure of 260 casualties all total (both those in the aircraft and on the ground). Aircraft debris is spread over a wide area throughout a densely-populated region, so the casualty count is expected to rise as recovery efforts continue.Northern Ireland: Protests and riots alike continued throughout the region overnight, with locals continuing arson attacks on migrant centers. Yesterday afternoon, locals discovered that the family members of the migrants who assaulted a child (the incident that started all of this) were temporarily evacuated to a Leisure Center in Larne, which was promptly burned down by locals. Riots continued in Ballymena, and vandalism efforts have disrupted local train services as obstacles and fires were set on train tracks in a few locations around the area.Middle East: Indications and warnings continue to mount regarding a potential war with Iran. The US State Department continues to issue region-wide warnings, though no specifics have been provided regarding the potential threats.AC: Considering all possibilities, the recent threat warnings issued by the White House could also be a ruse, specifically an ambiguity-decreasing information operation. In other words, it could be a trick to pressure the Iranians into making a deal with regards to their nuclear aspirations. Either way, it is a dangerous game, and increased vigilance is recommended in any case due to the uncertainty of how events might transpire over the next few days.-HomeFront-Texas: Governor Greg Abbott has ordered the deployment of approximately 5,000 National Guard soldiers in preparation for the mass demonstration events planned for this weekend. These forces will augment the thousands of local and state police which have been tasked with keeping order during the thousands of protests that will take place around the nation on Saturday.California: This afternoon U.S. Senator Alex Padilla was arrested after attempting to disrupt a press conference at which DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was speaking. Senator Padilla resisted being removed from the room after causing the disruption, and was subsequently arrested by force in the hallway outside the event. The Senator was released shortly after the incident, and as of yet has not been charged.USA: This afternoon a large scale communications outage was reported throughout the nation. Cloudflare, AWS, and Google Cloud all reported simultaneous issues with their platforms and services.AC: No cause of the outages has been reported, however this is a major incident considering the timing of multiple independent systems going offline at the same time.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: When it comes to the chaos and kinetic activities in Northern Ireland, there are two main lines of effort by involved parties: There are the ethnically Irish protesters-turned-rioters, who have engaged in arson attacks in migrant communities in response to immigration issues. Separate from these incidents, looting has been observed taking place, which is largely being carried out by migrant communities themselves. This is complicating efforts to host legitimately peaceful demonstrations, as the situation in some areas is simply too chaotic to determ

He previously co-founded and sold Gymhopper, and was the CEO of Rentouch, which he later also sold. He holds a BA in Business Administration from the University of St Gallen.On our 500th episode, hosts Silvan and Merle looked back on 9 years of Swisspreneur history. They started off by recalling the founding of Swisspreneur by serial entrepreneurs Alain Chuard and Christian Hirsig in 2016: after selling his company, Wildfire, to Google, Alain felt the need to give back to the Swiss startup ecosystem and encourage Swiss people to pursue entrepreneurial careers, so together with Chris he conducted a series of video interviews with some of the major Swiss startup founders at the time — and so Swisspreneur was born!In 2018, Christian asked Silvan to replace him as the host of Swisspreneur. Though he was initially daunted by the task, Silvan said yes, and together with Alain decided to switch the podcast to audio-only format, to make the best out of the budget available. From there the core team was formed organically: Dominique, our head of community, had already worked for Swisspreneur even before Silvan; Lars, head of marketing, was Silvan's roommate at the time; and Cecília and Björn had previously worked with Silvan at Gymhopper.  In 2018 was also the year when Silvan organized the first founders dinner. He noticed that the ecosystem was growing, but that people rarely spoke to each other, except at events — so he decided to invite roughly 15 startup founders to host a small dinner, and the evening was so successful that the guests asked him when the next dinner would take place. Swisspreneur has since hosted countless of these dinners, and nowadays hosts 3 additional Scaleup Events per year: the Scaleup Slopes, in Laax, the Scaleup Cruise in Lausanne, and the Scaleup Cruise in Zurich. Swisspreneur also has a slack community of founders and investors with over 700 members. In 2021, on a sunny rooftop in Lisbon, the team first discussed the idea of a Swisspreneur syndicate. The project was immediately successful, and nowadays the syndicate team has 5 members, its portfolio counts almost 40 investments, and its investor base is one of the largest in Switzerland. It relies on Leva as a trusted partner. Last but not least: Swisspreneur published a book in 2025! "Swiss Startups" is a compact view of some of the most amazing startup journeys in Switzerland, from scrappy beginnings to world domination. It was written by Silvan and our content creator Helena.As for the future, we have many ideas jumping around in our heads.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Arvind Jain, CEO & Co-Founder of Glean, on The Ravit Show — and what a powerful discussion it was.We dove into what's real vs. what's just hype when it comes to AI agents, and how truly intelligent agents are poised to reshape how enterprises operate over the next 5–7 years.We also explored: • How search has always been core to Glean's mission — and why that foundation enables more context-aware, intelligent AI experiences. • The power of Glean's connector ecosystem with 100+ SaaS apps — and why breadth of integration really matters in the modern workplace. • Their deep partnership with Google Cloud and how it brings real value to customers. • The barriers to AI adoption in the enterprise — and how Glean is helping to lower them.And of course, I asked Arvind what excites him most about the future of AI at work — his answer? You'll have to tune in to find out!Big thanks to Arvind and the Glean team for joining me during such an exciting week here at #GoogleNext25.#data #ai #googlecloud #glean #theravitshow

In this episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole reconnects with longtime friend and cybersecurity legend Dr. Anton Chuvakin, whom he has known for over 25 years. The conversation opens with reflections on their decades-long professional journey and transitions into a deep dive into Anton's current work at Google Cloud's Office of the CISO. Anton shares how his team supports secure cloud and AI adoption—not as traditional field CISOs focused on sales—but as strategic advisors and researchers helping clients understand and implement Google's advanced security models. The discussion spotlights Google's internal use of Zero Trust architecture, highlighting how Google eliminated the need for VPNs over a decade ago. Anton explains how this approach—initially pioneered through Google's BeyondCorp—combines stronger security with greater usability, a rare balance in cybersecurity. Dr. Cole presses into why more companies haven't adopted Zero Trust, prompting Anton to emphasize the power of organizational inertia. Drawing from his years at Gartner, Anton notes that despite the proven benefits, many enterprises resist change due to legacy systems and mindset barriers. This episode offers a compelling look at the evolving landscape of enterprise security and the importance of embracing innovation over outdated habits.

AI agents hold the promise of continuously testing, scanning, and fixing code for security vulnerabilities, but we're still progressing toward that vision. Startups like Aptori are helping bridge the gap by building AI-powered security engineers for enterprises. Aptori maps an organization's codebase, APIs, and cloud infrastructure in real time to understand data flows and authorization logic, allowing it to detect and eventually remediate security issues. At Google Cloud Next, Aptori CEO Sumeet Singh discussed how earlier tools merely alerted developers to issues—often overwhelming them—but newer models like Gemini 2.5 Flash and Claude Sonnet 4 are improving automated code fixes, making them more practical. Singh and co-founder Travis Newhouse previously built AppFormix, which automated OpenStack cloud operations before being acquired by Juniper Networks. Their experiences with slow release cycles due to security bottlenecks inspired Aptori's focus. While the goal is autonomous agents, Singh emphasizes the need for transparency and deterministic elements in AI tools to ensure trust and reliability in enterprise security workflows.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest insights in AI application security: AI Is Changing Cybersecurity Fast and Most Analysts Aren't ReadyAI Security Agents Combat AI-Generated Code RisksDevelopers Are Embracing AI To Streamline Threat Detection and Stay AheadJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

It clones code into a secure Google Cloud VM, allowing it to understand the full context of a project. This enables it to write tests, build features, fix bugs, and more. Jules operates asynchronously in the background, presenting its plan and reasoning when complete. This allows developers to focus on other tasks while it works. Integration with GitHub enables Jules to work directly in existing workflows without extra setup or context switching. Developers can steer and give feedback throughout the process. For cloud developers, Jules demonstrates the rapid advancement of AI for coding moving from prototype to product. Its cloud-based parallel execution enables efficient handling of complex, multi-file changes. While in public beta, Jules is free with some usage limits. This allows developers to experiment with this cutting-edge AI coding agent and understand its potential to accelerate development on Google Cloud. 02:56 Ryan – “More and more, as new tools get released, it's just going to change the way anything gets written… it's getting more and more capable.”  05:45 Introducing Flow: Google's AI filmmaking tool designed for Veo

Czy tożsamość zawodowa ulega zmianie po zostaniu rodzicem? Jaki wizerunek mają matki i ojcowie w organizacjach? Czy urlop rodzicielski jest tylko dziurą w CV czy można uznać go za kompetencyjny skok?59% kobiet i 44% mężczyzn przyznaje, że ich podejście do kariery zmieniło się po urodzeniu dziecka – częściej chcą pracować elastycznie, wybierają sensowność pracy ponad prestiż czy awans. Również 42% kobiet obawia się, że urlop macierzyński zostanie odebrany przez pracodawcę jako „dziura w CV”, natomiast mężczyźni rzadziej mierzą się z takim postrzeganiem. Z badań wynika również, że prawie 40% kobiet z dzieckiem do 3. roku życia czuje, że przestano je postrzegać przez pryzmat ich kompetencji, a zaczęto przez pryzmat ich roli jako matki. Faktem natomiast jest, że rodzice wracają do pracy z lepiej rozwiniętymi umiejętnościami - potrafią zarządzać kryzysami, wykazują się wielozadaniowością, większą empatią, lepszą zdolnością planowania i skuteczną komunikacją.Czy powrót do pracy jest momentem czy może skomplikowanym procesem? Jak powinien wyglądać onboarding powrotu rodziców do pracy? Na te i inne pytania odpowiadają goście Olgi Kozierowskiej - Piotr Marzec, Dyrektor Sprzedaży w Google Cloud i Daria Skrzypczak-Kozikowska, prawniczka, założycielka platformy wsprawiekobiet.pl.

At the close of this year's Google Cloud Next, The New Stack's Alex Williams, AI editor Frederic Lardinois, and analyst Janakiram MSV discussed the event's dominant theme: AI agents. The conversation focused heavily on agent frameworks, noting a shift from last year's third-party tools like Langchain, CrewAI, and Microsoft's Autogen, to first-party offerings from model providers themselves. Google's newly announced Agent Development Kit (ADK) highlights this trend, following closely on the heels of OpenAI's agent SDK. MSV emphasized the significance of this shift, calling it a major milestone as Google joins the race alongside Microsoft and OpenAI. Despite the buzz, Lardinois pointed out that many companies are still exploring how AI agents can fit into real-world workflows. The panel also highlighted how Google now delivers a full-stack AI development experience — from models to deployment platforms like Vertex AI. New enterprise tools like Agent Space and Agent Garden further signal Google's commitment to making agents a core part of modern software development. Learn more from The New Stack about the latest in AI agents: How AI Agents Will Change the Web for Users and Developers AI Agents: A Comprehensive Introduction for Developers AI Agents Are Coming for Your SaaS Stack Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

The U.S. job market shows resilience with the addition of 177,000 payrolls in April, despite a slight decline in IT roles as tech professionals exit the field. The unemployment rate remains low at 4.2 percent, but the IT sector has seen significant job losses, with over 10,600 positions cut in April alone. This trend is attributed to a cautious hiring environment influenced by increasing automation and economic policies, leading many IT professionals to leave the sector altogether. While demand for artificial intelligence roles is surging, the overall tech job market is struggling, raising concerns about the long-term implications of ongoing trade tensions and tariff impacts.Major companies like General Motors and Delta Airlines have withdrawn their financial forecasts, signaling potential freezes in capital and operational spending, including IT initiatives. This shift in economic sentiment is prompting clients to focus on resilience and efficiency, leading IT service providers to rethink their offerings. Instead of traditional services, there is a growing need for solutions that address risk management and operational impacts. IT services firms are encouraged to deepen their understanding of client businesses and tailor their services accordingly to become trusted partners.Earnings reports from tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta indicate a continued investment in data centers and AI infrastructure, despite rising costs due to tariffs. Microsoft reported a significant increase in capital expenditure and cloud revenue, while Google Cloud also experienced substantial growth. However, companies like IBM and Intel are facing challenges, with declining stock prices and weak forecasts. The overall landscape suggests that while hyperscalers are investing heavily, the economic conditions are creating a complex environment for IT service providers.The Global Technology Industry Association has appointed Dan Wensley as its new CEO, a move seen as strategic for the organization as it seeks to innovate and expand its service offerings. Wensley's extensive experience in the managed services space positions him well to address the needs of IT service providers. However, there are concerns that the association must avoid becoming merely a platform for vendor messaging and instead focus on delivering unique value to the industry. The challenges ahead will require tangible wins to build trust and relevance among smaller and mid-sized IT service firms. Four things to know today 00:00 U.S. Adds Jobs in April, But IT Sector Shrinks as Tariff Pressure and Automation Reshape Hiring05:16 Big Tech Earnings Show AI Spend Is Surging—But Tariffs and Cost Pressures Loom10:20 Tariffs Reshape Tech Landscape: Cloud Thrives While SMBs and Traditional IT Struggle13:13 New GTIA CEO Dan Wensley Has a Big Job: Make It Matter  Supported by: https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
