This week, Bobby Hellard and Scott Bekker talk with ITPro's news & analysis editor, Ross Kelly, to discuss some of the top stories from August.

That includes Google acquiring a treasure trove of data from a defunct airline in a bid to bolster AI products. The auction to acquire data from Spirit Airlines hit headlines this month as Google outbid another industry player looking to capitalize on a trove of information.

We also discuss TrendAI's insider threat report, which looked at how cyber criminals are building increasingly sophisticated insider threat networks.
