130: From Disruption to Digital Transformation with NTT DATA

On this week’s Silicon Valley Insider (#SVIN), Keith Koo’s returning guests are Eric Clark, Chief Digital Officer and Kris Fitzgerald, Chief Technology Officer of NTT Data.

Eric and Kris discuss how companies have been adapting to work in the “new normal” by embracing new procedures and technologies to safely come back to work.

  • Digital Transformation is the adoption of digital technology to transform services or businesses, through replacing non-digital or manual processes with digital processes or replacing older digital technology with newer digital technology. It is estimated that companies have accelerated adoption of digital transformation by at least 5 years due to COVID-19.
  • Return to Work is an issue for many companies. Learn about some of the steps NTT Data’s clients and partners have taken to safeguard their employees and customers incorporating artificial intelligence, IoT, mobile and other technologies.

On this week’s Cyber-Tip, Keith talks about how a well-known cyber-security firm tested their ability to hack a coffee-maker and how the results reveal how insecure our IoT devices really are from cyber-attacks. Listen to find out more on whether your devices are safe.
