SUSE CEO on Digital Resiliency, Beating Vendor Lock-In, and Open Source

Are you unknowingly limiting your business by locking yourself into a single cloud or tech provider?

In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we sit down with Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen, CEO of SUSE, to dive into the critical role of open source software in building digital resiliency in today’s cloud-centric business landscape.

With the rapid adoption of cloud computing and AI, businesses face increasing complexity and the risk of single vendor lock-in. We explore strategies to mitigate these risks, maintain flexibility, and ensure long-term stability in the cloud.

Key points covered include:

- Why digital resiliency is essential for business continuity in a cloud-driven world.

- How businesses can avoid the risks of vendor lock-in with multi-cloud strategies.

- Best practices for managing cybersecurity and ensuring system redundancy.

- Insights into how businesses can leverage open source for secure and scalable AI adoption.

- Addressing the misconceptions about security risks in open-source systems.

- Future trends and opportunities for digital innovation and infrastructure in the APAC region.
