Listen "Digital Resilience = Business Resilience - Part 3"
Episode Synopsis
In the final episode of our three-part Cisco 2025 series, we go straight to the heart of the conversation: digital resilience—why it’s no longer a technology discussion, but a critical business necessity.
You'll hear from:
Rob Sims - Chief Technologist, CDW
Joachim Mason - Managing Director, Partner Sales, Cisco UK & Ireland
Scott Manson - Director of Cyber Security and Resilience
Ged Fitton Leader - Cloud Infrastructure & Software Group (CISG)
Together, the panel explores how:
Digital downtime can now lead to life-threatening scenarios, societal disruption, and brand collapse
Observability is no longer a luxury, but a core component of any resilient IT architecture
Tech debt and outdated infrastructure are quietly sabotaging business resilience
Cisco’s strategic acquisitions (like Splunk, ThousandEyes, AppDynamics, and Isovalent) are reshaping how security, operations, and data insight come together
A true platform approach is needed to fight AI-powered adversaries and deliver machine-speed protection
This is not the Cisco of ten years ago. This is a new, modern Cisco—focused on digital resilience, powered by platforms, and built for the future.
Catch up on Parts 1 & 2 if you missed them—and get ready to lead your organisation into a more resilient, intelligent, and secure tomorrow.
