Embedding ESG considerations by design is an imperative - and this must be from the network up! In this special we explore the vectors of ESG change, especially around Sustainability, from opportunities to challenges, notably the intention-action gap regards awareness and actualisation, alongside complexity, and lack of consistency and comparability in measurement. To explore exactly this, I am delighted to be joined by Sarwar Khan, Global Head of Digital Sustainability at BT Group who was recently placed 25th in the Corporate Knights Global 100 list of the world’s most sustainable companies 2023. In particular, we focus on the launch of the Carbon Network Dashboard and the Digital Carbon Calculator to help organizations accelerate their net zero goals by measuring and reducing their Scope3 ICT emissions. Milestone moments indeed! Alongside this we explore the power of the ecosystem in affecting change, integrative business and sustainability strategy development, inclusive leadership and skills implications especially for CIO's, plus skills advice too! And beyond this, as always :) we talk action on all things Data and Tech For Good including the Digital Boost Mentorship program for UK SMEs.And we would love your thoughts on the show too - thanks for listening!

As possibly today's most misunderstood cybersecurity threat factor, this special shines a light on a growing API Economy - but equally a growing API Security disconnect too. Issues range from API drift, sprawl and lack of visibility, through to misconfiguration, monitoring gaps and challenges applying risk controls from pre-production to live. No wonder perhaps, that this has catalyzed much needed dedicated research such as the recent Noname API Security Report freely available here: https://bit.ly/APIDisconnectWith complete and proactive API protection clearly an absolute imperative for organizations of any size, it could not be more timely to discuss this and the latest cybersecurity trends, expectations and behaviours including differences across both regions and verticals with two superb guests from Noname Security: Karl Mattson CI-SO and Filip Verloy, Field CTO EMEA. We also explore the technology, testing, change management, DevOps best practices, developer empowerment and educational support that can help address the rapidly evolving requirements in this space. And if you or someone you know is curious around a future career in Cyber Security, please look out for the many courses and examples shared in this episode!
