Last Friday, on January 19th, we recorded a fresh episode of our JUXT Cast, diving deep into the UK Post Office Horizon scandal:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z6IpPyIhTG4?si=tVN1B7etUWUiZOLn" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

While the media rightly focuses on the management and political corruption aspects of the scandal, our discussion brought attention to the crucial lessons applicable to everyone in today's tech-centric world.

Joined by our JUXT team members Joe Littlejohn, Head of Delivery, and Alex Davis, Senior Software Engineer, we were fortunate to have Andras Gerlits from http://omniledger.io/ as our guest, adding an external perspective to the conversation. Beyond the headlines, this episode exposes the intricate challenges in managing and securing complex IT systems, providing a more detailed understanding of the Horizon scandal.

While acknowledging the significance of addressing management and political corruption, this episode:

- emphasizes the broader implications for everyday users dealing with modern technology. The lessons from the Horizon scandal underscore the vital need for transparency, accountability, and robust risk management in developing and deploying IT systems; and

- serves as a straightforward reminder for individuals and organizations to stay vigilant and proactive in ensuring the reliability and integrity of the technology that's part of our daily lives.

Have a listen and let us know your opinion!
