  • Summary

  • Outdated systems, sloppy code, and years of quick fixes have created a growing issue of "technical debt" in businesses. This unseen threat poses security risks, slows innovation, and leaves companies running on inefficient systems. Technical debt costs the US an estimated $2.41 trillion annually, with a whopping $1.52 trillion needed just to address the backlog. As businesses prioritize new features over fixing deep-rooted problems, the issues keep piling up, creating deeper vulnerabilities in legacy systems.

    Joining me today on Explain to Shane is Ken Silva, a renowned industry veteran with over 30 years of experience in tech, cybersecurity, and telecommunications businesses. He is well known for the work he has done as a chief technology officer and as a chief security officer for multiple tech companies.

    Tune in as we explore the hidden price of technical debt.
