Coda started when they asked themselves: In a world full of applications, why do documents and spreadsheets still run everything? Why haven’t they changed in over 40 years? And what would we build if we started from scratch? They made it their mission to rip the document down to the studs and build a new set of building blocks that would empower people to make docs as powerful as apps. Meet Coda (coda.io), a new doc that blends the flexibility of documents, the power of spreadsheets and the utility of applications into a single canvas, so anyone can make docs as powerful as apps. Companies like Cheddar, Spotify, and Uber as well as small businesses, such as Hudson Baking Company, have been building Coda docs to create solutions for their problems. I invited Shishir Mehrotra, CEO, and Co-Founder of Coda, Inc., onto the show to find out more.

In a world where digital transformation has accelerated beyond anyone's imagination, cybersecurity remains a cornerstone issue that demands our constant vigilance. This was the theme of my recent conversation with Paul Donegan, the Country Manager in Ireland at Fortinet. Ireland is a case study worth examining. As one of the world's most open and export-driven economies, it's an international hub for business and technological advancement. However, this economic vitality also attracts a less savory element: cybercriminals seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in supply chain security. During our discussion, Paul and I delved into why supply chain security should be on every C-suite executive's radar. We explored how organizations are faltering in this aspect—often overlooking the necessity of vetting their suppliers' cybersecurity postures. There is a clear and urgent need for implementing robust risk assessment and testing methodologies. We also tackled some of the most common pitfalls that organizations encounter. Zero Trust, for example, is not just a buzzword but an essential strategy that needs more than just boardroom attention—it demands action. The idea that you should never assume safety within your networks could be a game-changer in supply chain cybersecurity. The concept of 'future-proofing' emerged, emphasizing the importance of staying ahead in this ever-evolving landscape. We touched upon how learning in the cybersecurity space is a continuous process. With threats evolving, there needs to be room for complacency. Lastly, we took the discussion to the concept of the cybersecurity poverty line—an idea that deserves more attention. It's not just about having security measures in place but ensuring they are effective and up-to-date, a process that calls for ongoing education and awareness programs across every stratum of an organization. This is one episode that promises not only to enlighten but also to offer actionable insights for those willing to take the steps necessary to fortify their supply chain security. Do tune in to understand why, in a digital world, the old adage still holds true: A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTL4gZsABL0
