>> from Bahrain. It's the Q covering AWS Public sector Bahrain, brought to you by Amazon Web service, is, >> But we are here. The Cube in Bahrain, Middle East for Amazon Web service is some of our second year were cloud computing and their region of couple availability zones are up and running. Big news with Amazon got our next guest. Here's Cameron Years as head of strategy at the University of By Rain. You guys big news announcing a degree bachelor's degree in cloud computing? Yeah, a certificate one year that is gonna rapidly put new talent in the market. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you so much. We're really excited by this announcement today on Dhe. What's exciting about it is Ah, first of all, it's the first cloud computing degree in the Middle East on the other. The other element to this is that the the students suits from any background. Any discipline can get a really good understanding about cloud technology for the certification because the challenges we face in the region right now are we don't have enough skilled tech talent on we don't have enough skill talent to fill the jobs are available in the region. This is not just a regional thing is you know this is a global issue on universities. Have Thio adapt, be a bit more forward thinking live in the future. And we feel really optimistic with our partnership with Amazon today that we can actually fulfill the needs off public sector employers, entrepreneurs, governments throughout the region. And that's the exciting thing >> for us. I mean, let's just take a minute to explain the two components. One's a four year degree, one when you just give a little quick DT on ongoing questions. >> So I need a four year back to the program is gonna be delivered in a very different wave in the traditional academic program is gonna be heavily integrated with the needs of employers, so employees are gonna be really involved in curriculum design. We like them to be part of a teacher faculty as well. The way that the program will be delivered will be very much in a kind of project based way. So it's about developing not just knowledge, but the skills, competency values mindset required to be successful in the 21st century. That's exciting. Think about it, and of course, you know, looking at some of the detail behind the curriculum you're looking at networking, security, machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data. So the fact that this cloud base is actually just a small component to what it opens up in terms of broader skill sets >> I mean, one of the things that we always comment here on the Cube as we cover Amazons reinvent their big annual conference. And the joke is how many more announcement's gonna make this year a tsunami of new things coming. So certainly it's tough to keep up. Many people say that, but for the young people in school, this is relevant stuff. This is like pathway to success. Yeah, job making some cash, making some money, get that's what the purpose of education is. >> Well, I think I think there's a couple of That's a great point. The first thing is, education systems now need to live in the future. Living in a current or in many cases, the past is no acceptable. So it means it means taking some sort of calculated risk. But we're very clear in terms of the direction of travel with regard to technology in the future, jobs The reality is today. But 2/3 of the world's population already needs re Skilling. Those are the challenges we face today. Young people are purpose driven. They know where the where jobs are gonna be. They want to work for themselves. You know, they understand far better than anyone else where the way the future is unraveling do they >> understand how relevant this is? I mean, that's pretty obvious. We're in the industry. Yeah, we kind of obviously known you've been part of you are getting that This is wave. This wave is not gonna end for a while. This is gonna be a great upward migration for opportunity. You know, it's still learning on the young kids part. >> I think I think I think sometimes in education we do a disservice to young people. They're so well informed they understand the market, the trends, the way the technology shaping the future on reality is that what student learns in year one of the university, 50% and acknowledge will be obsolete by the time they graduate. So the focus is no just around giving him a degree. This is also about Skillet Re Skilling and upscaling. People have graduated people in the workforce. So this is a far wider opportunity, even just young people. Well, >> I'll tell you, one thing that gets my attention is that this reminds me of theeighties glider science because I got a degree. I was a freshman. 1983 was just at the beginning of the operating systems movement. Lennox was even around yet Units was just emerging on the scene and was interesting what we learned as building blocks with operating systems and that becoming obsolete in the sense that we don't use it anymore. But coding still happen. So this is had scaled to it with Amazon. You got okay. Easy to industry. Yeah. Now you got He's mentioned machine learning at Lambda Functions server lists. Yep. I'm so much more stuff there for a variety of jobs. >> I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. And I think for us, the way that education is evolving is that we we really believe that education will be more modular, as you say, credentials based, um lifelong on the channel. So some of it will be hands on. Some would be through other channels on competency base, and I think that's the thing. I think competency for us is about the kind of mobilization of the knowledge, your skills, the values attributes. And that's the bit it's gonna add. Value Thio economies throughout >> the world. So had a strategy. You gotta look at the chessboard in the future. You mentioned I live in the future. Yeah. What are some of the feedback you've gotten as you talk to folks in the industry when you roll this out? Um, doing some press interviews? I know you've had some feedback. What's the what's the general sentiment right now? >> Really excited. I think that we talk to employees all the time. We talked to sm easy. You talk to big players like Amazon. I think that in the in the region, I think when we talk about the scale of disruption, I think well, the way we talk about it in U. S. Or Europe is very different to the way we talk about it. I think the Middle East region, like Mellie developing parts of the world still playing catch up on old there. But what you'll find is once they've caught up, the adoption rates go through the roof and then that's that's the challenge for us. Because you know what? We see the uptake. Now we see the update every year growing and growing. And now the next challenge is moving into government, moving into the private sector on upscaling and re Skilling, though. So we're just at the start of this kind of huge opportunity. John and I see it being, you know, exponentially over the next five years. You >> know, it's interesting. I live in San Francisco, Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Invalid. We'll tow you. See what Berkeley's doing. Stand up for you. If you look at Berkeley in particular, number one classes are the data science class and the CS intro. Yeah, I mean, they're kind of hybrids, basically, is all cloudy? Do anything with coding. It's gonna be cloud based, right? Um, and seal, who's the deputy Group CEO? Banky, ABC. I just interviewed earlier today. He said, Aye, aye. He thinks is the biggest thing that's gonna happen. So it's not just racking and stacking standing up infrastructure with Amazon, although great to learn that it will be nerds. Geeks do that. There's a huge machine learning a I field. Yeah, I think that's gonna be something. Is head of strategy. You gotta keep your eye on the prize. They're absolutely What's your view on that? How do you see that happening? >> I think you're right. I think only CD of recently released some doctor to say that over 20% of jobs will be automated as a result of their arrive in the next few years. I think our role is to prepare young people regardless of what they're studying. Fool. Aye, aye. On the impact of machine learning. So I'll give an example. Medicine. You can make a diagnosis now for a patient diagnosis in a fraction of a second compared to what we used to be able to buy using I. Now the reality is that although I all I can give you that information you as a patient, one a robot to give you that diagnosis, right? So our job, I think, is to look at the skills that will define what defines us as human beings away from robots. And that's empathy. That's the stuff around building, building connections around team, working around collaboration. And actually those are the things the education systems of a designed not to deliver. So our job now is by embracing these types of new program is it is. It is to start to work on those softer skills on Prepare this generation of shooting for the for the A. I will that we're moving into >> camera, and I was so excited for your opportunity. Computer science cloud >> all kind, bundle >> together and software is powering this new job. As we say, it's the keys to the kingdom. In this case, it could be the keys to the kingdom. >> Well, I think for us as the national university on for many Ah, not just Bahrain. But for many developing an emerging countries around the world, this is far greater than just technology. Or create Jarvis's about sovereignty. Because if you look at many countries, they import talent. They have to import hardware, software, computers and things imported. This is a great opportunity to help create a workforce but actually flips it on its head. Becomes the innovators, becomes the job creators. So that's the exciting thing for us. It really is >> a generational accident. This is an opportunity for the younger generation to literally take the keys to the kingdom. Absolutely absolutely thanks so much for coming. Thank you. Thank you. Telling cube coverage here by rain Middle East AWS Summit. I'm John Feehery Stables for more coverage after this short break.

>> live from Orlando, Florida It's the que covering Accelerate nineteen. Brought to you by Fortunate >> Welcome back to the Cube. Lisa Martin with Peter Burgers. We are coming to you Live from Orlando, Florida We've been at forty nine. Accelerate twenty nineteen all day. Peter, What a day our third year co hosting the Cuba Forty and accelerate. We heard a lot about industry leadership, product, leadership in innovation, partner. Success fourteen and accelerate. What? Some of the things that really stuck with you from the keynote all the way to the end of our interviews. >> Well, I was going to say first put a fork in May. Um, uh, Here's one of the things that I've observed. I've been doing the analyst thing and been a practitioner I t for over thirty years now on DH. Uh, it's amazing the degree to its security. People are often some of the smartest people you meet and some of the most straightforward people you meet, and partly that's because they are paid to ferret out nonsense. It's very, very difficult to fake security on. Uh, it just is, if there's one thing that even more than the last couple of years just struck me today. Perhaps it's because we're coming more familiar. Affording it is how smart these guys are, how smart they are, how informed they are, how well spoken they are. I mean, the interviews have been a breeze. I learned something from every single one of these for Jeanette interviews. So that's probably the first thing I'd say. The second thing I'd say is, um, the Ford. It has taken a different tack. We talked about this in the open, they have acknowledged, or they believe that having a degree of control over the underlying hardware is going to be a source of benefit to the customer on a source of advantage to Ford in it. And they continue to push that, and it appears pretty clear that they made a good bet that regard. We heard a lot about how a lot of new products are being placed on top of that platform and top those appliances a lot of additional functionality. But it also is pretty obvious that the ecosystem is growing faster, even in many respects and fortunate is in terms of the number of the amount of invention and innovation it's happening, and that's in part made possible by having a platform that's just higher performance. Oh, and if there's one last thing that I'd say is the degree to which Fortunate has made talked about this a second ago but made good bets and it appears clear that they're going to continue to make good bets bringing full circle Smart people that get stuff done in a domain that's absolutely essential to business are in a position to really shape the way that all this digital business transformation of digital business evolves. And Ford Net is punching above their weight in terms of how they're influencing the directions of the industry. >> They are punching up that there way. I think you mentioned that during one of our interview segment. I think they're proud of that. I think their confidence in what they're delivering and their history of being able to be pretty good at predicting what's going to happen was evident from the keynote this morning, where they showed a number of times where they are from an industry leadership in a market share perspective, calling out the names of their competitors, showing how much how far they've come, how much their customers are benefiting how much their business is growing as a result. So that confidence on pride was evident from the first time CEO Kinsey stepped on stage this morning. And I think we heard that throughout every interview segment today that you and I did with their leaders and some of their partners as well that there's since there that they know what they're doing. To your point, I agree. There was a lot of clarity of message. It's a very it's Security's a very interesting topic of conversation because it's pervasive across every industry. >> There wasn't the interviews weren't interchangeable. Each of them bought their expertise to bear on DH had something really interesting and useful to say, But it's at the core. You could see that the culture is thriving, that obviously it's a great Tam's great total addressable market that's growing. There's a lot of excitement inside the fortunate employee base about the possibilities and the role that they're likely to play, and I are playing on, you know, they talked a lot about Canada, Dabo's and some of the new. Some of the new alliance isn't even able to put together and influence. I mean, it's just It's a very good story in a market that is increasingly important. That's a potent combination for the Cube and for customers overall. >> And they did a great job on the education piece. Education was you mentioned Davis. That was an interesting kind of nod back to what they talked about last year's Accelerate twenty eighteen Educate education Ecosystem technology knows of the three pillars that were discussed in Davos is being essential components for safe and secure digital transformation, which they even set of Davos. Hey, there's the potential here in the next ten years for digital transformation to unlock. Ten can't be million. Maybe it is a huge value for businesses for society, and they said, Hey, fortunate, we've talked about these three tenants last year. We talked to John both just a little bit ago about how they are actively educating the channel from their bars to help them become msp sto. MSS peas their distributors how they're really educating, helping to mitigate some of the ostensible cybersecurity skills gap that we've talked about a very long time. But that's a a dedicated business model for them that hey, they want to drive preference with their partners. Everybody has. His customers have toys. Partners have choice. They've put a very strategic and evolutionary focus on evolving that. So customers in any industry have the opportunity to leverage security as as a best practice it as a benefit to their business. >> And there's a degree of altruism for why they did it, because they recognize that there's three and a half million open cybersecurity positions in the world. But they also demonstrated how smart and practical it is. Try to take that leadership. They want to become more competency based. How? Okay, great. Now, what does that allow you to do? It allows you to have your partners, your partner, network, connect independent of you to create solutions independent of you still based in your technology and basing your capabilities and services, but to engage customers in faster ways that may not necessarily involve you. Okay, so competency leads to new partner arrangements. Well, that also leads to more complex kinds of customer relations that generate greater value, greater service, all with the certainty of trust behind it, because you've done a better job of articulating what constitutes competency in an extremely complex domain. So it's a It's a It's a really interesting story. They've. They've clearly taken some best practices that we've seen emerge in the industry over the last few years and applied them anew. In a company that's going quite fast and a market that's growing faster than any other in Tech, >> this is largely this event accelerated. Think Derek Banky. I mention this is his seven. So around the seventh or eighth forty nine accelerate event that started its history wise as a partner conference. Obviously, it's grown tremendously, but there's a lot of partners here I would love to hear next year from the voice of the customer, a customer who has faced these challenges. We were speaking with one of their partners. It'LL come to me with Siemens, who was talking about Hey together. Seaman's from an O. T. Challenge and Opportunity, Perspective and Fortunate can help a customer transform and converge, and ot and thirty days in a harsh type of environment that's huge would love to hear more stories like showed the impact that customers can make by addressing these challenges and leveraging these technologies to not just react to threats as they come all the time. But she eventually become proactive and predictive. >> Well, the the the world economic form Dabo's uh, sport that put up a couple charts that showed how the World Economic Forum is basically putting cyber security at the center of a lot of the new economic activity associated with digital business on way would tend to agree with that. That's a very, very important feature, if for no other reason than just this notion of trust becomes so very essential. And so you know, for Net is in a position to make some crucial to really have a strong influence on how this industry plays out to make some pretty decent money. This they're generating more patents, then eighty percent. I mean, I don't know what the number is, but three times as many patents in the segment that they're operating in as anybody else. Lot of innovation, lot of dedication to doing that kind of stuff. But I think it is important for them to take on Maura the customer. You and I were talking about this earlier. They did it, you know, this conference and the keynotes and the conversations spoke to network administrators, network pros, security prose partners. We would weigh. Both believe that digital business outcomes are going to be tied into a CZ moral economic form. Does that core cybersecurity capability of abyss that of his says? And so it would be nice to have them feature more customers, but also to do eh clear job of taking a pull on that thread from outcome all the way to technology because the market needs that. It's not clear to a lot of people what really is the relationship between investment in cyber security and how that translates into new classes of business value that are gonna have a long term implications on how markets operate. >> Yeah, and it's going to be We gotta hear more than scalability, flexibility and speed those air obvious. But how our industry's being and business is being transformed. I know they >> are >> so waken boy, a lot of that down to that, that simple word trust. I mean, we heard a lot here. If there has been an erosion of trust and a lot of the most important institutions that we operate under, and if that continues, that's going to create a whole bunch of problems looking forward and so having a brand have trust associated with it in a physical as well as the digital world is going to be a major determinant of whether or not a company is going to be able to transform and take advantage of some of the new technologies and approaches to doing business in the future. >> That's a great point. Well, Peter, I enjoyed co hosting the Cube with you at our third ported. Accelerate. Appreciate all your insights and your time. >> You too. >> Thank you so much. We want to thank you for watching the queue began. We've been live here. Fortinet Accelerate twenty nineteen from Florida, Orlando, Florida for Peter Bourjos. Lisa Martin, You're watching the Cube?
