Technology is a rapidly changing field, with new innovations, regulations and trends inundating the business world every quarter. But with so much going on, it’s easy to be misled by hype; to miss the genuine world-changing innovations or to embrace a technological cul-de-sac at the expense of long-term growth.

Which is why we’ve launched Verdict Magazine, bringing together the best of previous titles Verdict Encrypt and Verdict AI, as well as taking a deeper dive into the most significant technology topics covered on Verdict.co.uk.

This is a magazine for people working in any business sector that want to keep on top of how technology is changing – and more importantly, how it is useful. Across the next few pages, and in every following issue, we tackle hot topics and trends, take deep-dives into key fields and hear from industry-leading names across the world of technology.

And in our first issue, we really have started with a bang.

Tech rockstar and CTO of Amazon Werner Vogels answers our questions in the first in a series on CTO perspectives on technology.

Meanwhile, poker legend Liv Boeree gives insight on cybersecurity, and Ryder Cup CTO Michael Cole gives insights into how networking is harnessed to power golf’s biggest games.

Plus, we also look at the must-learn skills to compete in 2020, consider how cybercriminals could target this year’s biggest events and find out how Intel is taking on the world of AI.

For all this, and much more, read on in the first issue of Verdict Magazine.
