The InformationWeek Podcast
The InformationWeek Podcast brings together one CIO and one executive from business operations to discuss a shared IT pain point, but from their distinct perspectives on how they handle the matter. Host Joao-Pierre S. Ruth then leads the panelists through a set of tabletop exercises, where they must collaborate to resolve the challenges he throws in their way and help a fictional company weather its questionable technology decisions.

Pieter VanIperen, CISO at AlphaSense, joins the episode to talk about the rise of AI model APIs and the cyber resilience concerns they raise.
VanIperen then tested his ideas in the Questionable Ideas tabletop exercise, where the kobolds, gremlins, and goblins at the fictional company offered their own ways to keep tabs on AI APIs.
Putting AI to work in cybersecurity might help curtail alert fatigue from false positives, or it might make it worse for CISOs who oversee these operations centers.
How are CISOs dealing with this extra set of digital eyes on the security frontlines?
In this episode, Clayton C. Peddy, CISO at ABBYY, and Erika Dean, CISO at Tricentis, share their perspectives on the role AI can play with security alerts.
Anthony Guethert, CTO at Lumanity; Omer Cohen, CSO at Descope; and Christopher Squier, CISO North America at Sodexo, talk about dealing with compliance cascades.
Getting the mechanics and technical pieces of AI in motion is only part of the battle when it comes to transformation. If the team is not on board with using it, they could stall or set back your initiatives. Winning over middle management can be crucial to making AI part of company culture—but how do C-suite tech leaders do that?
Aleks Bass, chief product and technology officer at Typeform, and Kendrick Geluz Kho, chief AI o...
What does tech leadership do to course-correct if AI initiatives miss their goals?
In these adolescent days for AI in the enterprise, some initiatives can feel like exploring undiscovered country.
Vijay Kotu, chief analytics officer at ServiceNow, and Jonas Hansson, chief information officer at Axis Communications, discuss how they address times when a course correction might be needed on an AI initiative.
Even with preparation, a C-suite tech leader may have to adapt in the moment to meet security threats. Bad actors, by nature, do not play by the rules. In the AI era, the rules have certainly changed on both sides, and who knows what will happen once quantum computing becomes readily available. So how do CTOs and CIOs handle threats or near-misses? Do post-action reports lead to real calls to action?
Panelists:
Zach Lewis, CIO at t...
Aaron Harris, CTO at Sage, and Jerry Shu, CTO and co-founder of Daylit, share how they avoid letting questionable metrics derail optimization plans.
Bill Vass of Booz Allen Hamilton and Ameya Kanitkar of Larridin discuss how they are responding to escalating AI costs while keeping AI on track.
Alex Lisle, CTO, Reality Defender and Hui Zhang, CTO, Conviva, share their approaches to preparing potential new tech leaders as roles continue to evolve.
Much of the attention on quantum computing focuses on the dangers of bad actors getting their hands on the technology and then breaching traditional security and defenses. But the threat is still years away. Is it worth investing time, energy, and money now when that practical use is down the road?
Pal Narayanan, chief digital and Information officer with Kenco, and Rishi Kaushal, CIO with Entrust, share their answers on the podcas...
How do C-suite tech leaders handle times when others in the C-suite or board rejected strategic tech proposals?
The CEO obviously must sign off on a proposal—who are the other essential stakeholders who must be convinced for a proposal to get off the ground?
Brian Blakley, CISO with Bellini Capital and Pierre DeBois, CEO of Zimana Analytics, discuss decisions on supporting or shutting down new strategic technology plans.
Art Hu, CIO at Lenovo; Marc Kermisch, chief AI and technology officer at Protolabs; and Joe Papp, CTO at Anthro Energy, discuss cultivating new leaders during the AI transformation era.

In this episode, Gourav Pani, chief business officer at GoDaddy, and Eddie Fox, CTO at MetTel, discuss decisions their teams had to make on whether to modernize legacy systems or to wrap them around AI.
Richard Mackey, CIO at CCS Medical, and Heather Hinton, CISO at Sitecore, discuss how they get other stakeholders on board for new tech with tentative ROI.
Grant Veazey, CTO of Ensemble Health Partners, and Sebastien Jean, CTO of Phison Electronics, discuss how they assess data that might seem perfect.
In this episode, Mike Tria, CTO of Gusto, and Joshua Foltz, CISO of NerdWallet, discussed how they navigate the use of AI as their companies operate under regulatory oversight.
They talked about how they tailor their AI use to comply with guardrails in their sectors, their vetting process before putting third-party AI to work, and whether they develop in-house AI resources designed to meet compliance.
Quais Taraki, EnterpriseDB's CTO, and Rosalyn Curato, chief innovation officer for Vouched, talk retaking control from agents that go rogue.
As major companies tout AI’s efficiency amid layoffs, Saurabh Gupta, CTO of GreyOrange, and Winston Astrachan, CTO of Phobio, offer their takes on organizations embracing AI, and what that means for IT teams.
Jay Miller, CISO at Paessler, and Andrew Missey, CTO of Convos, discuss how they decide when it is time to start a project over.
