1
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,000
Hello and welcome to the CTO
show with Muhammad.
2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,300
My name is Muhammad.
And in each episode, I will be
3
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:17,400
exploring the latest trends,
insights and strategies.
4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,100
In topics, like cybersecurity
digital transformation, emerging
5
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:26,000
Tech startups and
Entrepreneurship from thought
6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,100
leaders and innovators to
intrapreneurs and founders.
7
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:33,300
We'll hear from experts.
Across a wide range of
8
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:36,900
Industries who are driving
change and making an impact in
9
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:40,300
the world of tech and business.
Thank you for tuning in.
10
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:45,000
Let's get started.
In today's episode.
11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,200
I will be sharing some,
hopefully exciting and
12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,200
informative information.
First, I will be discussing the
13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,100
emerging Trends in cybersecurity
from my recent visit to the
14
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:06,200
dissect event in Dubai.
I will also dive into more about
15
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:09,000
my latest Venture.
Yes, aventures.
16
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:16,100
And what I'm aiming to do and at
the end stick with me, so we
17
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:21,200
will be announcing something
related to the podcast.
18
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:27,400
So let's get started.
First, let me start about my
19
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,500
visit to dissect a event, which
happened this week in Dubai,
20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,200
jacek is a significant gathering
for cybersecurity professionals
21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,100
where the industry's latest
trends and Technologies are
22
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:44,600
showcased and I visited there
for two days and I had the
23
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:50,300
chance to speak with some of my
peers and some of the visitors
24
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:55,400
and exhibitors over there.
So the major Plants that I've
25
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,700
seen the most during my visit
from topics perspective or let's
26
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:05,300
say trance perspective.
So, the first thing is zero
27
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:10,100
trust was all around.
So almost every single vendor,
28
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:12,200
they were talking about the zero
trust.
29
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,100
Whether that is from a end-user
perspective, application
30
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,700
development perspective,
networking perspective, and so
31
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:23,400
on.
So this was a topic that I would
32
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,400
say I dominated jacek.
The second is cyber
33
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,800
intelligence.
Cyber intelligence is also a
34
00:02:32,808 --> 00:02:38,300
topic that started to get more
attraction because there are
35
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:43,800
plenty of cyber threat actors
out there and no one can cover
36
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,700
it all good in one platform.
So I've seen a lot of vendors
37
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:55,100
which talking about the
impactful intelligence.
38
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:59,600
They are talking about how they
can help customers and getting
39
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,000
you know.
No, real and actionable
40
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,700
intelligence to their
environment, to their maybe sock
41
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:12,700
or if they have someone who's
doing that on their behalf, like
42
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:16,900
I'm an MSP.
So a lot of vendors were talking
43
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:22,400
about threat intelligence.
Another Trend that I have seen
44
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,500
around is, of course, a
high-powered machine learning
45
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:31,800
powered Solutions and that's not
a surprise.
46
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Because even I should before on
different episodes, threat,
47
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,000
actors are using machine
learning.
48
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,800
They are using the GPT they are
leveraging every single tool
49
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,500
around to have their attacks
more sophisticated.
50
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:50,200
And this is why on the other
hand vendors?
51
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:56,100
Are implementing and adopting
real, artificial intelligence.
52
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:59,600
And I want to relate to
something from yesterday topic,
53
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,800
which was about the Microsoft
and Google announcement and
54
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:09,600
specifically Microsoft co-pilot.
So we are going from as they say
55
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:14,000
and auto pilot to co-pilot where
humans will interact more with
56
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,399
security powered Ai.
And I think there will be a
57
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,000
hype.
There will be a lot of Buzz
58
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,000
about a, I power tools machine
learning power tools, but I
59
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,600
believe also the copilot mode
will come to cybersecurity.
60
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,800
So this is something also I
noticed during my visit Another
61
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,800
topic was deception.
So, I've seen a lot of vendors,
62
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
talking about deception
technology.
63
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,300
I think we will cover that on
another episode in details.
64
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:48,700
What deception is?
But mainly this is another
65
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:51,800
technique to stop the attacks
before they happen.
66
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:57,100
And the last technology that I
have spotted in rice egg was
67
00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:01,400
micro segmentation, which is
also an interesting technology
68
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,100
that drives to reduce the Packed
of an attack.
69
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:10,600
And again we might have
additional episodes related to
70
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:14,700
micro segmentation these
cutting-edge Technologies.
71
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,800
I believe are shaping the cyber
security landscape and their
72
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,400
impact on businesses and
organizations cannot be
73
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,700
overstated.
So this is why it's crucial to
74
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:28,000
stay up-to-date with these
strands to ensure the best
75
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,700
possible protection against
cyber threats.
76
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,800
Now, I would like to share a
little bit more context about
77
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:43,000
what was my motivation to start
my Consulting business?
78
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,200
Yes, aventures.
And actually I want to little
79
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,900
bit highlights what we do at the
SE Ventures.
80
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,500
So yes, see Ventures.
If you look at our website,
81
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:58,500
you'll see like six pillars and
this six pillars start from
82
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:04,100
something called, Ventured
Studio or startup Studio.
83
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:10,400
I prefer to use the word startup
studio and ctOS a service for
84
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,600
startups.
So here where we can offer the
85
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,700
technical know-how for
non-technical Founders.
86
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:24,200
So basically, you have an idea,
but you're not sure how from
87
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,900
technical perspective.
This can't come to life.
88
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:34,400
This is where we would help you
in first seeing the feasibility.
89
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:36,600
Leti from technology
perspective.
90
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:40,600
Also, try to brainstorm the idea
more with you.
91
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,700
How you will be able to monetize
it?
92
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:47,800
What would be the best of the
best possible way to bring it to
93
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,500
Market?
So this is where the first
94
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:57,900
pillar come into the picture.
The second one is disruptive
95
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:03,100
Technologies and this is again I
would consider that as part of
96
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:07,800
the city as a service but this
time it's more for established
97
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,800
businesses.
So this is where we will offer
98
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:18,600
our expertise by following
ourselves, the trance on, how
99
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,400
would be the best way to remove,
all the noise from the market
100
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:30,600
and just focus on.
The main technologies that might
101
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,400
be a good potential for an
Enterprise from different sizes,
102
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,500
with a small medium or whatever
to adopt it.
103
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:45,900
So this is our second pillar out
say, The third one is digitize
104
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:49,500
your business and what I mean by
digitize your business is not
105
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:52,200
just the traditional.
Yeah we will take you to the
106
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,700
cloud.
You know, we will use this tool
107
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:57,400
or that tool.
It's quite a different approach.
108
00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:04,100
So we take a more consultant
approach for evaluating your
109
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:12,800
processes for evaluating also,
your current setup and see E,
110
00:08:12,808 --> 00:08:16,800
what would be the best way?
And sometimes it might end up by
111
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:20,800
keeping a hybrid approach.
It might, you know, leveraging
112
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,000
some disruptive technology on
top of what you have done so
113
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,100
far.
So this is the third pillar.
114
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:32,700
Now, the next one is related to
how we can secure the business
115
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,299
whether you are a start-up or
whether you are.
116
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,700
A new company or you've been in
the market for some time and
117
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:46,300
protect your business, and your
customers with a comprehensive
118
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:48,300
risk mitigation.
So that would include.
119
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:53,300
Of course, assessments that will
include questionnaires to
120
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:58,100
understand more about your
offerings and your digital.
121
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,100
I would say Location in the
marketplace.
122
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,600
And what are the risks
associated with your current
123
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,300
location?
And then how we can cover these
124
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:14,300
risks and take you from whatever
point you are in to a secure
125
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,200
location.
So this is the idea of security
126
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,500
or business.
Of course, we will have also
127
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:24,500
like, you'd see management
consultancy and here.
128
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:28,000
Basically, we are focusing on
management consultancy from
129
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:32,400
purely technical perspective.
So this is how we can leverage
130
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,700
technology to drive, growth,
reduce risks, develop and your
131
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:40,100
strategies.
So, this is where we will be
132
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,400
offering the service.
And the last one you would see
133
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:50,100
is our own Ventures at the icy
Ventures, and this would be our
134
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:57,600
own lab to generate ideas or
adopt existing ideas, bring them
135
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,400
to the lab.
And try to come out with
136
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,100
something that can help
individuals or businesses to
137
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:11,200
automate streamline.
Their processes save time and
138
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,900
money.
So this would be kind of
139
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:18,600
built-in tools that we will
build and then we'll try to
140
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,500
share it with the broader
audience.
141
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:28,000
So as you can see, we have all
these related Offerings or
142
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,900
Services together.
And you know, the top on that,
143
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:36,800
it's a CTO as a service because
a CTO is a person who has the
144
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,100
technology and know-how, but at
the same time he's a business
145
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:42,100
savvy as well.
And this is where we would come
146
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:47,700
into the picture to help you
leveraging all the available
147
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,300
Technologies and take your
business, whether you are still
148
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:56,600
a start-up or you are in the
early phases, to the next level.
149
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:01,700
So this is a motivation for me
personally, because I like to
150
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:09,000
move individuals and customers
from wherever they are today and
151
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,900
understand their pains and then
take them to a better position
152
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,400
whether that is related to
increasing Revenue.
153
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,400
Whether that is increasing
customer leads or whether it's
154
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,200
reducing risks.
So or either like building the
155
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,700
business from scratch.
So this is something Very, very
156
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,500
passionate about.
I would say, the last thing for
157
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:39,600
today's episode is I'm very
happy and you know I'm very
158
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,000
humbled by all the comments and
all the messages and everyone
159
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,100
that is encouraging me to do
what I am doing on the podcast.
160
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:53,500
And this is why.
Before I wrap up today's
161
00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:57,900
session, I just want to share an
announcement with you.
162
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:01,200
So I'm excited to announce that
our podcast.
163
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,500
Sponsorship program is now open.
So by becoming a sponsor you

00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,000
Hello and welcome to the CTO
show with Muhammad.
2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,300
My name is Muhammad.
And in each episode, I will be
3
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:17,400
exploring the latest trends,
insights and strategies.
4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,100
In topics, like cybersecurity
digital transformation, emerging
5
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:26,000
Tech startups and
Entrepreneurship from thought
6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,100
leaders and innovators to
intrapreneurs and founders.
7
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:33,300
We'll hear from experts.
Across a wide range of
8
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:36,900
Industries who are driving
change and making an impact in
9
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:40,300
the world of tech and business.
Thank you for tuning in.
10
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:45,000
Let's get started.
In today's episode.
11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,200
I will be sharing some,
hopefully exciting and
12
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,200
informative information.
First, I will be discussing the
13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,100
emerging Trends in cybersecurity
from my recent visit to the
14
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:06,200
dissect event in Dubai.
I will also dive into more about
15
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:09,000
my latest Venture.
Yes, aventures.
16
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:16,100
And what I'm aiming to do and at
the end stick with me, so we
17
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:21,200
will be announcing something
related to the podcast.
18
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:27,400
So let's get started.
First, let me start about my
19
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,500
visit to dissect a event, which
happened this week in Dubai,
20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,200
jacek is a significant gathering
for cybersecurity professionals
21
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,100
where the industry's latest
trends and Technologies are
22
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:44,600
showcased and I visited there
for two days and I had the
23
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:50,300
chance to speak with some of my
peers and some of the visitors
24
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:55,400
and exhibitors over there.
So the major Plants that I've
25
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,700
seen the most during my visit
from topics perspective or let's
26
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:05,300
say trance perspective.
So, the first thing is zero
27
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:10,100
trust was all around.
So almost every single vendor,
28
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:12,200
they were talking about the zero
trust.
29
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,100
Whether that is from a end-user
perspective, application
30
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:20,700
development perspective,
networking perspective, and so
31
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:23,400
on.
So this was a topic that I would
32
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,400
say I dominated jacek.
The second is cyber
33
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,800
intelligence.
Cyber intelligence is also a
34
00:02:32,808 --> 00:02:38,300
topic that started to get more
attraction because there are
35
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:43,800
plenty of cyber threat actors
out there and no one can cover
36
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,700
it all good in one platform.
So I've seen a lot of vendors
37
00:02:50,700 --> 00:02:55,100
which talking about the
impactful intelligence.
38
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:59,600
They are talking about how they
can help customers and getting
39
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,000
you know.
No, real and actionable
40
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,700
intelligence to their
environment, to their maybe sock
41
00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:12,700
or if they have someone who's
doing that on their behalf, like
42
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:16,900
I'm an MSP.
So a lot of vendors were talking
43
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:22,400
about threat intelligence.
Another Trend that I have seen
44
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,500
around is, of course, a
high-powered machine learning
45
00:03:26,500 --> 00:03:31,800
powered Solutions and that's not
a surprise.
46
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Because even I should before on
different episodes, threat,
47
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,000
actors are using machine
learning.
48
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,800
They are using the GPT they are
leveraging every single tool
49
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,500
around to have their attacks
more sophisticated.
50
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:50,200
And this is why on the other
hand vendors?
51
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:56,100
Are implementing and adopting
real, artificial intelligence.
52
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:59,600
And I want to relate to
something from yesterday topic,
53
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,800
which was about the Microsoft
and Google announcement and
54
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:09,600
specifically Microsoft co-pilot.
So we are going from as they say
55
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:14,000
and auto pilot to co-pilot where
humans will interact more with
56
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,399
security powered Ai.
And I think there will be a
57
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:22,000
hype.
There will be a lot of Buzz
58
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,000
about a, I power tools machine
learning power tools, but I
59
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,600
believe also the copilot mode
will come to cybersecurity.
60
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,800
So this is something also I
noticed during my visit Another
61
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,800
topic was deception.
So, I've seen a lot of vendors,
62
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
talking about deception
technology.
63
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,300
I think we will cover that on
another episode in details.
64
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:48,700
What deception is?
But mainly this is another
65
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:51,800
technique to stop the attacks
before they happen.
66
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:57,100
And the last technology that I
have spotted in rice egg was
67
00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:01,400
micro segmentation, which is
also an interesting technology
68
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,100
that drives to reduce the Packed
of an attack.
69
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:10,600
And again we might have
additional episodes related to
70
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:14,700
micro segmentation these
cutting-edge Technologies.
71
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,800
I believe are shaping the cyber
security landscape and their
72
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,400
impact on businesses and
organizations cannot be
73
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,700
overstated.
So this is why it's crucial to
74
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:28,000
stay up-to-date with these
strands to ensure the best
75
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,700
possible protection against
cyber threats.
76
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,800
Now, I would like to share a
little bit more context about
77
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:43,000
what was my motivation to start
my Consulting business?
78
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,200
Yes, aventures.
And actually I want to little
79
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,900
bit highlights what we do at the
SE Ventures.
80
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,500
So yes, see Ventures.
If you look at our website,
81
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:58,500
you'll see like six pillars and
this six pillars start from
82
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:04,100
something called, Ventured
Studio or startup Studio.
83
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:10,400
I prefer to use the word startup
studio and ctOS a service for
84
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,600
startups.
So here where we can offer the
85
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,700
technical know-how for
non-technical Founders.
86
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:24,200
So basically, you have an idea,
but you're not sure how from
87
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,900
technical perspective.
This can't come to life.
88
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:34,400
This is where we would help you
in first seeing the feasibility.
89
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:36,600
Leti from technology
perspective.
90
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:40,600
Also, try to brainstorm the idea
more with you.
91
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,700
How you will be able to monetize
it?
92
00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:47,800
What would be the best of the
best possible way to bring it to
93
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,500
Market?
So this is where the first
94
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:57,900
pillar come into the picture.
The second one is disruptive
95
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:03,100
Technologies and this is again I
would consider that as part of
96
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:07,800
the city as a service but this
time it's more for established
97
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,800
businesses.
So this is where we will offer
98
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:18,600
our expertise by following
ourselves, the trance on, how
99
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,400
would be the best way to remove,
all the noise from the market
100
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:30,600
and just focus on.
The main technologies that might
101
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,400
be a good potential for an
Enterprise from different sizes,
102
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,500
with a small medium or whatever
to adopt it.
103
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:45,900
So this is our second pillar out
say, The third one is digitize
104
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:49,500
your business and what I mean by
digitize your business is not
105
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:52,200
just the traditional.
Yeah we will take you to the
106
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,700
cloud.
You know, we will use this tool
107
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:57,400
or that tool.
It's quite a different approach.
108
00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:04,100
So we take a more consultant
approach for evaluating your
109
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:12,800
processes for evaluating also,
your current setup and see E,
110
00:08:12,808 --> 00:08:16,800
what would be the best way?
And sometimes it might end up by
111
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:20,800
keeping a hybrid approach.
It might, you know, leveraging
112
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,000
some disruptive technology on
top of what you have done so
113
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,100
far.
So this is the third pillar.
114
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:32,700
Now, the next one is related to
how we can secure the business
115
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,299
whether you are a start-up or
whether you are.
116
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,700
A new company or you've been in
the market for some time and
117
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:46,300
protect your business, and your
customers with a comprehensive
118
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:48,300
risk mitigation.
So that would include.
119
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:53,300
Of course, assessments that will
include questionnaires to
120
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:58,100
understand more about your
offerings and your digital.
121
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,100
I would say Location in the
marketplace.
122
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:05,600
And what are the risks
associated with your current
123
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,300
location?
And then how we can cover these
124
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:14,300
risks and take you from whatever
point you are in to a secure
125
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,200
location.
So this is the idea of security
126
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,500
or business.
Of course, we will have also
127
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:24,500
like, you'd see management
consultancy and here.
128
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:28,000
Basically, we are focusing on
management consultancy from
129
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:32,400
purely technical perspective.
So this is how we can leverage
130
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,700
technology to drive, growth,
reduce risks, develop and your
131
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:40,100
strategies.
So, this is where we will be
132
00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:43,400
offering the service.
And the last one you would see
133
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:50,100
is our own Ventures at the icy
Ventures, and this would be our
134
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:57,600
own lab to generate ideas or
adopt existing ideas, bring them
135
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:02,400
to the lab.
And try to come out with
136
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,100
something that can help
individuals or businesses to
137
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:11,200
automate streamline.
Their processes save time and
138
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,900
money.
So this would be kind of
139
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:18,600
built-in tools that we will
build and then we'll try to
140
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,500
share it with the broader
audience.
141
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:28,000
So as you can see, we have all
these related Offerings or
142
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,900
Services together.
And you know, the top on that,
143
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:36,800
it's a CTO as a service because
a CTO is a person who has the
144
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,100
technology and know-how, but at
the same time he's a business
145
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:42,100
savvy as well.
And this is where we would come
146
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:47,700
into the picture to help you
leveraging all the available
147
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,300
Technologies and take your
business, whether you are still
148
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:56,600
a start-up or you are in the
early phases, to the next level.
149
00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:01,700
So this is a motivation for me
personally, because I like to
150
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:09,000
move individuals and customers
from wherever they are today and
151
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,900
understand their pains and then
take them to a better position
152
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,400
whether that is related to
increasing Revenue.
153
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,400
Whether that is increasing
customer leads or whether it's
154
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,200
reducing risks.
So or either like building the
155
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,700
business from scratch.
So this is something Very, very
156
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,500
passionate about.
I would say, the last thing for
157
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:39,600
today's episode is I'm very
happy and you know I'm very
158
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,000
humbled by all the comments and
all the messages and everyone
159
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,100
that is encouraging me to do
what I am doing on the podcast.
160
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:53,500
