Host Owen Ou interviews Adam Hanna and Melanie Plaza at AE Studio to talk about what the blockchain is (and isn't), building on top of blockchain platforms like Ethereum, and the future implications for blockchain networks.

Frustrated by this dichotomy, Jason Meller founded Kolide, a security solution for teams that value productivity, transparency, and employee happiness.

70. Monitoring, Privacy, and Security in Public Cloud

Hosted by Robert Blumen, Sean Porter

We're used to monitoring our applications for metrics like performance and availability. But increasingly, teams are also extending monitoring practices towards security and privacy of their systems and data.

Sean Porter, the CTO of Sensu, discusses these monitoring tactics with Robert Blumen, a DevOps engineer at Salesforce.
