Episode Description

In this episode of the Business of Tech, Dave Sobel shares four important updates. Microsoft has enhanced their AI-powered Copilot service with GPT-4 Turbo and DALI-3, improving its capabilities for IT professionals. However, generative AI also poses challenges for the industry. Cybersecurity leadership is stalled due to Tuberville’s blockade, leaving key positions unfilled amidst increasing threats. The episode also discusses the need for enhanced API security features and highlights a premium monitoring offering called Sentry from RFcode. Lastly, the podcast explores the new features in Microsoft’s Copilot service and emphasizes the importance of proper security measures to prevent data breaches.
