Nvidia scraps Arm deal, plus new tools emerge for monitoring remote employees - a podcast by IDG

As expected, Nvidia officially dropped its plans to acquire Arm after facing regulatory hurdles. Now that an IPO is looming, an alternative architecture like RISC-V may emerge as a formidable competitor to Arm. Computerworld executive editor Ken Mingis and senior writer Lucas Mearian join Juliet to discuss the future of Arm. Plus, as enterprises continue to support remote workers, new tools have emerged to monitor employees’ online behavior. One such tool is a new web browser, called Island, that limits what sites workers can visit, the data they can view and their ability to upload and download files from the web. While monitoring tools could be beneficial from a security perspective, do they overstep and infringe on employees’ privacy? Ken, Lucas and Juliet will discuss how employee attitudes on remote work have evolved and how to effectively implement monitoring tools.
