In our increasingly digital world, how do we protect ourselves from growing cyber threats? In this episode of In Good Company, Nicolai Tangen welcomes Nikesh Arora, CEO of Palo Alto Networks, to explore the fast-changing world of cybersecurity. As our homes, cars, and cities become increasingly connected, the opportunities for hackers grow—from targeting individuals to attacking critical infrastructure. They discuss who the "bad actors" really are, how AI is transforming both attacks and defenses, and why future conflicts will likely play out in both digital and physical battlefields. Nikesh also shares his journey from Google and SoftBank to leading a cybersecurity giant, and his approach to spotting tech trends early. Tune in!


In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management. New full episodes every Wednesday, and don't miss our Highlight episodes every Friday.
