Today, I am delighted to welcome Dave Furneaux, Founder & CEO of BlueIO, an innovative, mission-driven builder capitalist investment company. Dave is a co-founder and investor in a number of innovative companies, such as Blaze (acquired by Akamai), Cybersaint (a leading Cyber Risk Management company), Greenlight Biosciences (EPA approved breakthrough RNA bio-chemical platform for clean food), Lufa Farms (a leading agricultural technology company), Lumicell (an FDA approved platform for Cancer therapy) and Virsec (a breakthrough cyber protection company). He has been a driving force behind many breakthrough technology, health, and food companies as a founder, operator, investor, and active board leader. Some notable examples include Watchfire (acquired by IBM), Skystone (acquired by Cisco Systems), Application Security (acquired by SingTel) and Aironet (acquired by Cisco Systems). Earlier in his career, Dave founded and led Kodiak Venture Partners, which went on to invest in and build companies such as Appnexus (acquired by AT&T), Channel Advisor (NYSE: ECOM), Extreme (acquired by Microchip), Enfora (acquired by Sierra Wireless), IM Logic (acquired by Symantec) and WHERE (acquired by Paypal). David believes, and we at FOX agree, that families are uniquely positioned and endowed to create, build, and innovate by putting their family capital, their entrepreneurial spirit, and creativity to work to solve the big problems our world is facing. He talks about why he has this conviction, how he sees it play out today, and why and how families play this key role in innovation and building new solutions and products. The topic of our conversation with Dave is encapsulated in a relatively new term: “Builder Capitalism”. Dave defines Builder Capitalism for our audience, describes the tenets of this investment philosophy, and outlines the mindset and skills it requires. He also paints the picture of how Builder Capitalism is manifested in reality through the activities and behaviors of entrepreneurs. Dave offers many practical tips and suggestions to the different market players who are interested in Builder Capitalism, starting with what investors need to know or do if they want to participate in this movement and allocate their capital (financial and non-financial) to Builder Capitalist ventures. He also provides his advice to entrepreneurs and founders who share this belief system and see themselves and their startups as members of this Builder Capitalism economy. Finally, Dave offers his insights into the resources available to both investors and founders to become better educated about Builder Capitalism and to be better connected into the emerging ecosystem of this rising entrepreneurial movement. This is a must-hear conversation with one of the leading thought leaders, practitioners, and innovators in the Builder Capitalism movement, who is also a family principal and leader of his own multigenerational entrepreneurial family.

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the 5G ecosystem as a whole, we look at the recent high impact telco cloud, multi-access edge computing (MEC), and APIs moves. The major cloud, edge, and API developments include the progress of Azure Private MEC in supporting manufacturer private 5G network implementations, VMware Telco Cloud Platform Release 4.0 using a horizontal infrastructure approach to ease VNF and CNF deployment and administration, VMware Telco Cloud Platform RAN assisting the optimization of disaggregated RAN functions and CNF management, as well as how the Vonage Singtel partnership is uplifting network, edge, and  communications API prospects.   Our analytical review focused on: Azure Private MEC Proving Manufacturing Prowess. Microsoft Azure private MEC targets the streamlining and acceleration of private 5G (P5G) networks on the Azure cloud platform by providing a fully managed solution that can allow, for example, manufacturers to deploy and operate their own P5G networks with full control over their data and applications. We delve into how Azure private MEC and its ecosystem partners are helping manufacturers use 5G for improved outcomes with Pegatron, an electronics manufacturer of laptops, smartphones, and gaming consoles, creating its own private 5G network to covers its entire factory and Weavix, through the company's Internet of Workers platform, is equipping front line workers with wearable technologies and solutions to improve performance and safety. VMware Ups Telco Cloud Proposition. VMware Telco Cloud Platform Release 4.0 focuses on solidifying numerous capabilities into a unified platform that can give telcos the flexibility to modernize their network according to their business objectives particularly through the implementation of requisite automation and assurance capabilities. We discuss how the rigors of designing and managing services combined with the intricacies of coordinating virtual network functions (VNFs) and cloud-native network functions (CNFs) demands a horizontal infrastructure that can support the deployment and administration of VNFs and CNFs with consistency, efficiency, and automation.  VMware Telco Cloud Platform RAN Underlines Disaggregation Benefits. VMware Telco Cloud Platform RAN delivers a horizontal platform optimized for running virtualized baseband functions or virtualized distributed units (vDUs) and virtualized central units (vCUs) from various vendors while meeting the stringent performance and latency requirements of a radio access network (RAN). The use of a horizontally consistent architecture that supports cloud-native principles can cultivate the build-out of logical end-to-end networks tailored to different 5G services. We explore why disaggregated RAN functions can be instantiated on a horizontal platform and deployed at the locations that best serve their functional purposes. Plus, how CNFs can be managed efficiently at scale and readily modified to turn business objectives into productive outcomes. Vonage and Singtel Uplift API Prospects. Vonage, part of Ericsson, is partnering with Singtel to integrate Vonage's API platform with Singtel's orchestration platform Paragon with the goal of bolstering innovation opportunities for enterprises and telcos through access to a global ecosystem of communications, network, and edge APIs. Paragon-enabled telcos from Singapore, Thailand, Spain, Taiwan, and Indonesia will be able to integrate Vonage and Paragon APIs into a globally unified telco and edge API library as well as worldwide independent software vendors (ISVs), enterprises and developers can look to use the APIs to deliver digital services at greater speed and scale over hybrid networks, hybrid edge, and public cloud infrastructures across multiple markets. We assess why this partnership can be a harbinger to answering why this time is looking different when it comes to APIs playing an integral role in driving innovation and major benefits, such as 5G service monetization and energy efficiency gains, across telco environments.

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the 5G ecosystem as a whole, we look at the recent key AI RAN and telco AI moves, especially alliance formations unveiled before and during Mobile World Congress 2024. The major AI RAN and Telco AI developments include the near-term and long-term ecosystem impact of the AI-RAN Alliance launch, HEAVY.AI's progress in the key GenAI areas of accuracy and speed, the official debut of the Global Telco AI Alliance (GTAA), and the AI Alliance's focus on responsible AI. Our analytical review focused on: AI-RAN Alliance Debuts: How Substantive? The AI-RAN Alliance debuted at MWC 2024, a new collaborative initiative aimed at integrating AI into cellular technology to further advance RAN technology and mobile networks. The alliance's founding members include AWS, Arm, DeepSig, Ericsson, Microsoft, Nokia, Northeastern University, NVIDIA, Samsung Electronics, SoftBank and T-Mobile. The group's mission is to enhance mobile network efficiency, reduce power consumption, and retrofit existing infrastructure, setting the stage for potentially unlocking new economic opportunities for telecommunications companies with AI, facilitated by 5G and further out 6G. We examine how network operators in the alliance are set to spearhead the testing and implementation of these evolving technologies developed through the collective research efforts of the member companies and universities and ecosystem prospects for AI RAN for both near-term and long-term. HEAVY.AI Showing Accuracy and Speed Breakthroughs. HEAVY.AI announced HeavyIQ designed to bring LLM capabilities to the GPU-accelerated HEAVY.AI analytics platform, with the goal of enabling organizations to interact with their data through conversational analytics. Users can explore their data with natural language questions and generate advanced visualizations of that data. This streamlined process could reduce the friction of traditional business analytics, allowing more users to swiftly uncover insights. With HeavyIQ, HEAVY.AI has taken an open-source LLM foundation model and extensively trained it to perform core analytics tasks, including analyzing massive geospatial and temporal data sets. The technology employs LLM in conjunction with retrieval augmented generation (RAG) capabilities to take a user's text input, automatically convert it into a SQL query, and can both visualize and return natural language summaries of results. We review why HEAVY.AI is providing benefits in areas such as accuracy. Trained with over 60,000 custom training pairs, benchmarks show HeavyIQ to be more accurate than GPT-4, with 90%+ accuracy on common text-to-SQL benchmarks, compared to 85% with GPT-4. For speed, HeavyIQ leverages optimized and fine-tuned smaller models that take advantage of the latest NVIDIA GPU hardware innovations to deliver responses up to 10x faster than GPT-4. Global Telco AI Alliance Officially Takes Off. Deutsche Telekom, e& Group, Singtel, SoftBank and SK Telecom officially launched the Global Telco AI Alliance (GTAA), following its pre-announcement in July 2023. The telcos also announced plans to establish a joint venture, through which the companies plan to develop LLMs specifically tailored for the requirements of telecommunications companies. The LLMs will be designed to help telcos improve their customer interactions through digital assistants and chatbots. We explore why it is important to the mobile ecosystem for the JV to develop multilingual LLMs optimized for languages including Korean, English, German, Arabic and Japanese, with plans for additional languages to be agreed among the founding members and advancing telco specific LLMs that align to the telecommunications domain and can prove better at understanding user intent. AI Alliance Prioritizes Responsible AI. In December 2023, IBM and Meta launched the AI Alliance in collaboration with over 50 founding members and collaborators. The AI Alliance is focused on cultivating an open community and enabling developers and researchers to accelerate responsible innovation in AI while ensuring scientific rigor, trust, safety, and economic competitiveness. By bringing together developers, academics, scientists, and other innovators, the alliance looks to pool resources and knowledge to address safety issues. We assess why the AI Alliance is integral to fulfilling ecosystem-wide objectives including deploying benchmarks and evaluation tools and standards to enable the responsible development and use of AI systems (i.e., Responsible AI). This includes supporting AI skills building and exploratory research.

Today we interview Shane Sims, CEO of Kivu Consulting. We'll be talking about the current state of cybercrime and insights from incidents his consulting firm has recently worked. We'll discuss some of the latest stats and trends related to ransomware, as well as thoughts on future cybercrime trends. Shane will also share some stories from his time as an FBI agent, working undercover as a cybercriminal. Segment Resources: Report - Mitigating Ransomware Risk: Determining Optimal Strategies for Business One of the biggest challenges in security today is organizations' reluctance to share attack information. Perhaps legal teams are worried about liability, or maybe execs are just embarrassed about security failures. Whatever the reason, this trend makes it difficult for organizations to help each other. CrowdSec's mission is to make this process automated, anonymized, and seamless for security teams. We talk to Phillip Humeau, one of CrowdSec's founders, about what it's like to build a such an unconventional cybersecurity business - one based around crowdsourcing and open source software. This week, in the enterprise security news, AI dominates new funding rounds (I'm shocked. This is my shocked face.) The buyer's market continues, with lots of small acquisitions SingTel sells off Trustwave at a significant loss Yubico goes public (actually, a month ago, sorry we missed it) Yubico can also now ship pre-registered security keys New cybersecurity tools for board and exec-level folks Lessons learned from recent ransomware attacks Healthcare is increasingly under attack A study on CISO tenure - longer than you might think!
