Ep. 1: Enterprise Network Security, Cloud Repatriation and AI Governance | WorldTech IT Podcast

Описание: What does it actually take to build and secure enterprise infrastructure at scale? In this debut episode of the WorldTech IT Podcast, three senior practitioners with careers spanning Microsoft, Raytheon, and Rackspace share what they have learned across 300+ cloud migrations, why cloud repatriation is becoming a financial imperative in 2026, and why most AI integrations in the enterprise security stack are generating noise instead of value.

Josh Brooks (Chief Solution Architect), Ernie Martinez (Open Source and Red Hat Practice Manager), and Robert Davila (Networking and Security Practice Manager) cover the decisions that CIOs, CISOs, infrastructure directors, and network engineers are navigating right now.

No vendor agenda. No watered down takes. Just engineers who have operated at scale sharing what they know.
