@harrylabana Absolutely. Still, BYOD doesn’t mean Bring Your Own Support, right?

@harrylabana Yeah. BTW: can corporate IT really avoid to provide support in BYOD? What if employees PCs have malware at the host OS level?

Wondering if employees like BYOD programs just because of Apple. Do I still like BYOD if corporate IT supports Macs, iPhones & iPads?

Hi. I recently started a new project:
Alessandro Perilli

Alessandro Perilli
News:

  • (March 2023) I gave an interview to the financial publication Milano Finanza about the Future of Life Institute (FLI) open letter I recently signed: ChatGpt, l’intelligenza artificiale è davvero una minaccia o rimane un affare miliardario?
  • (March 2023) I founded a company: Unstable Reality.
  • (March 2023) I announced Fake Show, a synthetic podcast about the atrocious things that people in large tech vendors do (to their customers and to each other).
  • (February 2023) I launched Synthetic Work - A non-technical newsletter to understand how AI is changing our jobs and how we work.
  • (February 2023) I started a collaboration with 01net to host a video podcast in Italian about artificial intelligence: Le Voci dell'AI

A contrarian thinker with 23 years of business and product experience in the enterprise IT industry, and a track record in identifying (before most) hugely profitable markets and new use cases for emerging technologies.

I also have a track record in identifying over-hyped emerging technologies that eventually have little to no business impact.

So far, I've been a:

  • Tech executive, focused on business and product strategy for Red Hat
  • Advisory Board member for the European Commission initiative HORIZON CLOUD
  • Global analyst, leading research in private cloud computing for Gartner
  • Entrepreneur in the media industry as the founder of virtualization.info
  • Advisor to Fortune Global 2000 companies
  • Co-author of the Cloud Computing Risk Assessment for the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA)
  • Author of a cybersecurity book for Arnoldo Mondadori Editore
  • Creator of one of the first ethical hacking trainings in the world for Mondadori Informatica
Also, I am:

  • Founder of the H+ research project about human body augmentation technologies
  • Inventor: US Patent 10778701 - Mitigating cyber-attacks by automatically coordinating responses from cyber-security tools
  • Keynote speaker for 20 years in a row
  • Art collector and former corporate sponsor for Tate
