I'm trying something new this week: These show notes were generated by putting a transcript into ChatGPT. Feedback is appreciated! —Randy We recently heard Jeff Marraccini on the "This Week in Enterprise Technology (TWiET)" podcast. Jeff, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Altair, joined us this week to share insights into his background and the challenges Altair faces in cybersecurity as a globally acquisitive company. The conversation explores Jeff's transition from a Vice President of IT to a CISO, underscoring the importance of continuous learning and formal courses from ISC2 and ISACA to adapt to the evolving cybersecurity landscape. Emphasis is placed on the complex vendor landscape in cybersecurity and the need to implement zero trust as a methodology rather than just a product. Jeff delves into Altair's approach to global operations, collaborating with teams across China, India, Europe, and the United States. Regulatory challenges, such as restrictions on hardware in China, are discussed. The podcast concludes with a discussion on the evolving cybersecurity landscape, highlighting Jeff's optimism about advancements like memory-safe languages and Microsoft's adoption of Rust. Despite existing challenges, Jeff sees promising developments and disruptive solutions in the cybersecurity space. A noteworthy segment of the discussion involves the importance of identity in cybersecurity. Jeff and Bob emphasize that identity management should be at the crux of security efforts, recognizing its role as a foundational element for effective cybersecurity measures. The conversation highlights the shift in focus from traditional security measures, like firewalls, to a more comprehensive approach centered around identity management. Furthermore, Bob and Jeff touch upon the evolution of cybersecurity news coverage. They discuss the noticeable decrease in mainstream media coverage of security breaches, speculating on whether this shift is influenced by the insurance industry advising companies to keep incidents quiet or if it reflects a change in news priorities. Jeff acknowledges the continued prevalence of security issues covered by specialized outlets like the Cyberwire podcast, CSO Online, and Dark Reading. Towards the end, the conversation pivots to the impact of Gen AI (Generative Artificial Intelligence) and digital transformation on the industry. Jeff shares insights into Altair's recent acquisition of RapidMiner, emphasizing the empowerment of individuals to leverage AI techniques for various applications, including data science and cybersecurity. The discussion underscores the potential for Gen AI to enhance efficiency and collaboration across different fields. The podcast concludes with Bob raising a concern about the younger generation's reluctance to pursue careers in IT, especially in areas like cybersecurity and data science. Jeff offers guidance, encouraging individuals to explore these fields through online courses and hands-on projects, emphasizing their applicability across diverse industries. The conversation touches on the need for a shift in mindset and the potential for technology-driven roles to drive innovation and problem-solving. Overall, the discussion provides a comprehensive overview of cybersecurity challenges, industry trends, and the transformative impact of emerging technologies.

Every day we make decisions. Some are as simple as deciding when to leave for work in order to beat traffic or what to eat for breakfast. Others bear much greater importance, such as what new products to launch or what new markets to tackle. Analytics plays an important role in helping your business make these decisions in a smarter, more data-driven way.“The purpose of analytics is to help us make decisions, is to create decision-making capabilities across the company. The next step was to find out what those decisions are that we would need to make? When I say decisions, these are not like once in a quarter, boardroom decisions. I'm talking about everyday decisions that many of our colleagues make every single day.”Vijay Kotu is the SVP of Data and Analytics for ServiceNow, a company that is helping enterprises manage digital workflows. In this episode of the Data Chief, Vijay discusses how he is building a high-growth “mathematical enterprise” where frontline workers are empowered to make smarter business decisions with data and AI. He also speaks about the impact of ecosystems, the need for businesses to have a holistic view of their data in order to create positive outcomes, and why being intentional about analytics use cases is absolutely essential. Key Takeaways:Don't underestimate the impact of micro-decisions: We all want to be more data-driven, but don't fall into the trap of thinking that data and analytics can only be applied to once-a-quarter, boardroom-level decisions. Enabling frontline employees to be more data-driven in their everyday work is a hugely powerful way to make a positive impact across your entire business.Evaluate how data can improve workflows: The holy grail of analytics is converting insights to action. One of the most effective ways to do this is by automating workflows whenever and wherever possible. With automation, you help everyone in the business be more efficient without adding any extra work or manual decision-making.Data becomes exponentially more powerful when it's connected: Having all of your proprietary data in one place is a great way to start your data journey but it becomes exponentially more valuable when you connect it to outside data sources. Bringing together multiple sources of data gives you even richer insights about your customers, employees, and products.Data serves the business: At the end of the day, your data goals should align with that of businesses. Data and analytics professionals must remember that data is there to serve sales, marketing, product, IT, etc. into making better decisions for the business. They are the ones running the functions and the data and analytics teams are the backbone of that. Therefore, data teams should be designing products with that in mind.Key Quotes“The purpose of analytics is to help us make decisions, is to create decision-making capabilities across the company. The next step was to find out what those decisions are that we would need to make? When I say decisions, these are not like once in a quarter, boardroom decisions. I'm talking about everyday decisions that many of our colleagues make every single day.”“Data just in one place, it's less valuable. But when you connect it with other data points that you have, it becomes even more valuable.”“What are you going to do with those insights? That would be the actions. If these insights are helping you make a decision, how do we actually put that decision in action is closing the loop. That has been the Holy Grail of analytics. Rather than stopping at insights, you're closing the loop on helping people do that action here.”“The things that matter the most for our customers right now is a prioritization decision, and doing really well in those areas will help us reach further in our goal.”Bio:Vijay Kotu is Senior Vice President of Analytics at ServiceNow.

In this episode, I had a guest on the podcast: Zoltan Prekopcsak (VP of Data Science and Analytics at Prezi, previously VP of Data Science at RapidMiner). I asked Zoltan to share his story focusing on one question: How did he get his first data science job -- or in other words: how did he become a data scientist? It's a pretty interesting and exciting interview, where you can hear about the first steps of a now-senior data professional. Zoltan talks about his side projects, about the data science competition he enrolled in with his friends (back in 2007!), about his first internship and eventually his first junior data scientist position.

Ebben a BB extrában a data science került fókuszba. Gáspár Csaba és Nagy-Rácz István - a dmlab vezetői - voltak Tomi vendégei. Az interjú legizgalmasabb pontjai (a teljesség igénye nélkül): - Csaba és István egyszerre data scientist-ek és cégvezetők, mesélnek arról, hogy hogyan tudnak ezek között a szerepek között egyensúlyozni - a dmlab már több, mint 10 éve a piacon van, az egyik legnagyobb múltú magyar adatos cég. Így az interjúban hallhatunk az adatos hősidőkről is. (Pl. growth hacking a startlapon ;-) - a dmlab-nak több startup-jellegű spin-off-ja is volt. Ezekből pl. a Radoop exit-tel zárult: a RapidMiner vásárolta fel. Erről a sztoriról is mesélnek vendégeink. - szó esik arról is, hogy mi az igazi különbség az adatbányászat, a data science és az AI (mesterséges intelligencia) között - és még sok-sok-sok minden másról...

What has big data got to do with your content strategy? It's about using the information you collect and store to create powerful personalised messages. That's all well and good, but what does it mean to your workflow if you have to write to, call, text and Facebook all your customers personally? How can you make your content production flow efficient without losing the personal touch? We talk to big data marketing expert about the possibilities of big data magic, Graeme Noseworthy of RapidMiner in Boston, a former IBMer working with the Watson Foundations Big Data & Analytics Platform. We also chat to Dr Michael Wu, Chief Scientist at Lithium Technologies who is the number cruncher and data miner behind the social software provider to the likes of Barclays, Virgin Atlantic and Time Warner Cable. He explains where big data is now, where some companies are missing a trick and what the future looks like.
