SHOW NOTES:
Topic 1 - Jon and Druce welcome to the show. Give everyone a quick introduction…
Topic 1a - You also have a podcast, tell everyone about that…
Topic 2 - AI has thrown the world of cybersecurity a curveball.. Druce, how are you seeing AI impact the typical conversations you are involved in?
Topic 3 - How is AI affecting start-up companies, thinking beyond all the AI-specific startups, how is AI going to impact the entrepreneur who’s trying to launch a non-AI company? What should they know and think about AI when starting a new company?
Topic 4 - You both talk to a lot of customers about AI, especially to Enterprise customers. Let’s separate the hype from the practical. Where are organizations typically in their AI journey in early 2025? Have we moved beyond the chatbot yet
Topic 5 - I see several organizations considering AI but struggling with ROI. What are you seeing, and how do you help organizations overcome this hurdle? How long is ROI measured with AI projects? It’s not 3-5 years anymore.
Topic 6 - Is the industry moving too fast? Jon and I have had conversations in the past where organizations just can’t absorb the changes in hardware and models (just a few examples). How can an organization commit to a path that we know will change in 12 months
Topic 7 - Tell everyone where they can find your podcast. Also, If anyone is interested, what’s the best way to get started on their AI journey?
