Harnessing AI for a Better Customer Experience

TechSpective Podcast ·

2023/12/19

TechSpective Podcast Episode 123 Customer experience is crucial for the success of a brand. However, it can be costly for a company to properly staff and train agents to address customer needs, and it is often a maddening exercise for customers seeking help. Generative AI may hold the key to solving both ends of that equation and delivering better results for both the company and the customers. Naomi Nuta, VP of Marketing at Cogito, joins this episode of the TechSpective Podcast to talk about the

TechSpective Podcast Episode 122 There are a number of steps involved in cyber threat analysis to review event information and determine which events are benign or innocuous and which are malicious--or at least deserve greater scrutiny. For the most part, it's not that it is exceptionally complex or difficult work. The issue is mostly a matter of scale. The sheer volume of security events generated makes the initial triage to flag the ones that need more attention and collect the peripheral

SBOMs: The Hidden Ingredient in Secure Software Recipes

TechSpective Podcast Episode 121 SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) have gotten a lot of attention in the past year. Think of SBOMs as the ingredient list of software – a detailed catalog of every component, library, and module that constitutes a software product. This concept isn't just a fancy tech term; it's necessary in today's world, where software complexity resembles a vast, interconnected jigsaw puzzle. SBOMs bring transparency and clarity to this complex digital environment, much like

Changing Advertising with Innovation, Creativity, and AI

TechSpective Podcast Episode 120 Ads and commercials are a sort of "necessary evil." Aside from the NFL Super Bowl, I don't think anyone is ever anxious to see commercials--and even that has been trending toward more mundane and underwhelming ads for the last few years, in my opinion. Nobody really wants to see the ads, but the ads are what pays the bills and enables the content--which the audience does want--to be offered for free, or at least a lower cost, subsidized by the ad revenue. The way

TechSpective Podcast Episode 119 If you want to prevent threat actors from infiltrating or compromising your environment, it helps to see things from the threat actor perspective. This concept has been fundamental to cybersecurity for many years--whether it is penetration testing, red teaming, ethical hacking, or other angles. Whatever you call it, the notion is simple enough. Bugcrowd more or less pioneered the idea of harnessing the collective power of ethical hackers to provide crowdsourced

TechSpective Podcast Episode 118 "You can't protect what you can't see." The first time someone said that, I am sure it was very profound. It is an obvious statement, but also very powerful in the context of cybersecurity. If you aren't even aware of the hardware assets connected to your network, or the software applications they are running, how can you possibly be aware of any vulnerabilities or weaknesses they may contain, and how could you take meaningful steps to reduce your exposure to

TechSpective Podcast Episode 117 Cybersecurity used to be more of a mystical dark art, but over time, businesses and individuals have come to understand just how critical cybersecurity is, and cybersecurity professionals and vendors have recognized that they need to integrate with and facilitate business productivity rather than pushing security for the sake of security and creating unnecessary roadblocks for everyone. Thankfully, security culture is improving for many organizations. Mike

Real World Impact of Medical Device Security

TechSpective Podcast Episode 116 Getting hacked sucks in all scenarios. In most cases, though, getting hacked is an inconvenience. In some cases, it is deadly. Having your data stolen, or getting your computer bricked by ransomware is annoying. Getting a medical device like an insulin pump hacked might kill you.

TechSpective Podcast Episode 113 Do you have a right to privacy? Should you--as a consumer or individual--have control over your personal data, which companies are allowed to collect or access it, and how it is used? It seems reasonable, to be honest. At the very least, consumers want--and expect--transparency. Building trust with customers relies on being transparent about what information is collected and why, and how it is used. There should also be a way for an individual to view their own

Now that pretty much everything is code, and there are billions upon billions of lines of code, it is also more important to identify and resolve issues in the code to prevent or remove vulnerabilities and flaws that might be exploited. The evolution from Waterfall to Agile to DevOps has dramatically accelerated the development

Threat actors have a variety of tools and methods to crack and compromise credentials, which is why many attacks are--from the perspective of cyber defense--inside attacks. They are executed using valid credentials that have authorization to access or do the things they do. The crux of the issue comes down to both protecting identity data and impeding the ability of threat actors to infiltrate the network using

Managing and Securing Apple Devices in the Enterprise

TechSpective Podcast Episode 110 Once upon a time, Windows PCs were--by default--the chosen platform for businesses, and Apple computers were for consumers. Companies made exceptions for workers focused on creativity or design, but Apple devices were generally frowned upon at work. When I first started working in IT, I supported an environment with about 200 PCs and about 50 Macs (it was an advertising agency, so we had a higher percentage of "creative" workers than most companies).

Improving Customer Experience with Generative AI

TechSpective Podcast Episode 109 I admit that I am cynical in general about customer experience. On the rare occasions I have to call for support or interact with customer service, I feel like it's often an exercise in both frustration and futility. It often takes hours and multiple transfers and escalations just to get to someone who either A) understands what the problem is, and B) actually has the knowledge and skill to help solve it. But, I am open to the possibility that generative AI might

TechSpective Podcast Episode 105 It's more or less expected that organizations are "in the cloud" these days in some way, shape, or form, but having a cloud strategy is important. In the early cloud days, moving to the cloud gave organizations a competitive advantage. At this point--with pretty much everyone in the cloud--it's sort of the opposite. Being in the cloud is the default, and any business that is not in the cloud is simply sabotaging its own success. That said--what does it mean,

It's a bit of a cat-and-mouse game that has gone on for decades. Threat actors devise innovative exploits and attack techniques, and new security tools and strategies are introduced to defend against them, so threat actors come up with unique new attacks.
