2018 AT&T Business Summit: Security “in” and “of” the Cloud



While public cloud is undoubtedly an outsized piece of the conversation, news headlines of the latest data breach can make this move a very frightening proposition. The question of how to balance the downside of cloud computing risks with the upside of promising cost savings is, therefore, top of mind. 

The dilemma becomes even more critical as your business starts leveraging the power of 5G telecommunications services. When added to existing network architectures and combined with other next-generation technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge-to-Edge capabilities, 5G will dramatically alter user experience – from retail to financial services, transportation to manufacturing, to healthcare and beyond.

Answering these, and other essential cybersecurity questions were the primary task during the “Security ‘In’ the Cloud and ‘Of’ the Cloud“ panel I participated in during the AT&T Business Summit in Dallas, Texas. Read more about how you should address this cloud computing transition issue in my newest blog post on AT&T Business Insights.

My Brush with Royalty: Queen Latifah



Queen Latifah! 

Hip Hop Icon. Movie Star. Television Star. Fashion Model. Songwriter. Producer. Entrepreneurial Genius!? YES!


Dana Elaine Owens, her given name, is co-owner of Flavor Unit Entertainment, a firm that includes television and film production units, a record label and an artist management company. She has been managing herself since age 21 and within 2 years of starting her business, had signed over 17 rap groups including the hugely successful Naughty by Nature and Outkast. “Her first investment was in a delicatessen and a video store on the ground floor of the apartment she was living in at the time.” With her background, you can now see why I was really excited to see her on the main stage at the AT&T Business Summit with AT&T Communications CEO John Donovan.



Visit the AT&T Business Insights page to see her on stage and read more about my "Brush with Royalty" and how Queen Latifah's journey as a small business owner should inspire us all.
