Hey there! Welcome to Ujaley's Podcast where we talk to top technology leaders to understand what's going on in the world of technology.

Today, we are diving into a hot topic that has been making waves since last one week: the risks of forced updates in proprietary software, especially after the recent hiccups with Microsoft and CrowdStrike.

So, what’s the deal? Forced updates are those changes that tech companies push to your systems without asking you first. They can mess things up big time, like we have seen recently—from airport operation to dial 100 to critical healthcare services—all went for a toss, thanks to a single line of code going haywire.

We have got Dr. Doug Milburn, President and Founder of 45Drives, here to shed some light on this. He has got some strong opinions about why letting these updates happen without checking them first is a bad idea.

Dr. Milburn will talk about why businesses should look at open-source technologies for more control over their systems.

He will share some real-life stories, including how his own company got hit twice in one week because of these forced updates.

And he has got some great tips on how to keep your systems secure and reliable, even with all these changes happening.

So, stick around! We have got a lot to cover, and you would not like to miss it.
