• 9 - Adelite Uwineza Kazungu & Eliel Mulumba: Cloud smart, not just cloud first and cybersecurity moves that matter, AWS, Azure, Google, Geneva, Switzerland

  In this episode of 25Minutes, we share a special recording from the Petit Déjeuner de PME & Startup event series hosted by the Canton of Geneva in Switzerland, designed to deliver actionable insights from global organizations to startups and small to medium-sized businesses.Together with Adelite, we explore the growing strategic relevance of cloud migration and cloud security. As businesses increasingly turn to the cloud again - driven by AI-driven compute demands and the need for agility - new questions arise around risk, resilience and data sovereignty. Against the backdrop of geopolitical tensions and an evolving regulatory landscape, we discuss the renewed momentum for building European alternatives to dominant US-based cloud providers like AWS, Azure and Google.We discuss why companies are accelerating their move to the cloud, the business value they seek and the most pressing cybersecurity challenges they encounter along the way. More importantly, we highlight practical solutions and risk mitigation strategies including the role of Zero Trust Architecture in enhancing visibility, control and protection in dynamic cloud environments.Original video recording and full rights: La securite au coeur de la transition vers le cloud | Eliel Mulumba & Adelite Uwineza Kazungu, Resp: Head of Operational Technology Security -- Cyber Awareness Specialist, EY | 01.09.2023 at 09:28 | Part of Petit dejeuner des PME et Start-up Geneve - Septembre 2023 | Geneve25 Minutes PodcastHostey by: Eliel MulumbaAudio editing & mastering: Michael LauderezJoin conversation on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/eliel-mulumba-133919147Send us a text

• (Bonus 1) - Lionel Hapi Modje: IT & Cyber in Africa - the untold story about truth, growth and grit. Hannover Messe, startups, innovation and digital penetration

  In this episode, I sit down with Lionel again to explore the evolving landscape of technology and resilience in Africa. Together, we unpack the striking differences in market value, digital growth and investment priorities when compared to Europe and the United States. Our conversation sheds light on how digital resilience is being shaped in regions where fundamental challenges like hunger and poverty still dominate policy agendas - and how digital literacy, although still uneven, is accelerating. We dive into current investment trends in more developed economies such as South Africa, the expansion of mobile broadband access and why the continent’s increasing internet user base could mark Africa as a future innovation hub.But this isn’t just a numbers-driven discussion. Lionel shares how a simple moment - eating risotto - led him to change perspective as well as the importance of perspective in cybersecurity. We also touch on a lighter but culturally rich debate: Ghanaian vs. Nigerian Jollof rice.Our Guest:Lionel LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lionel-hapi-modje-33641ba4/Lionels typical workday: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/organisation-und-informatik-stadt-z%C3%BCrich_digitaleszaesrichmitgestalten-itjobs-berufsvielfalt-activity-7290730494382489600-WG1i/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAACONqncBzTmT1rca3ilVhifkpHXUs9QkM_425 Minutes PodcastHostey by: Eliel MulumbaAudio editing & mastering: Michael LauderezJoin conversation on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/eliel-mulumba-133919147Fact Checkhttps://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/cybersecurity/africahttps://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/europe-cybersecurity-markethttps://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/industry-reports/cyber-security-market-101165https://techafricanews.com/2024/10/31/africas-mobile-connectivity-has-the-internet-access-gap-narrowed-in-2024Send us a text

  What does it really take to build and operate an OT Security Operations Center (SOC)? In this episode of 25Minutes, I sit down again with Qusai - an expert with hands-on experience setting up OT SOCs, including his first major project in the Middle East. We explore the key differences between OT and IT incident response, the unique challenges of industrial environments and why traditional approaches often fall short. Qusai shares common mistakes companies still make, how to develop tailored use cases and playbooks and which parameters matter most when deciding between an OT SOC, IT SOC, or a hybrid model. If you're in cybersecurity, industrial operations or simply want to understand the nuances of securing operational technology environments, this episode is packed with actionable insights and lessons learned from the field.Important note: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily reflect those of any organization, employer or affiliation. Our Guest: LinkedIn: https://ae.linkedin.com/in/qusai-alrabei-cybersecurityhttps://www.weforum.org/stories/2023/12/why-securing-the-ot-environment-is-important/25 Minutes PodcastHostey by: Eliel MulumbaAudio editing & mastering: Michael LauderezJoin conversation on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/eliel-mulumba-133919147Send us a text
