The Next Era - How AI will shape the IT Landscape

Keynote

Simplify IT integration & separations at speed and enable value capture sooner

In an ideal world, a well planned and executed M&A/Divestiture transaction is delivered on-time, on-budget, with actionable synergies potentials. 

The critical step to success is IT’s ability to integrate (or separate) at speed, without disrupting the current flow of business, and within a predictable cost envelope.

Statistically, Day 1 demands are only met 70% of the time. Network and security are stymied by complexities delaying cross-entity collaboration and application/resource access that directly impact intended synergy target potentials.

Zscaler’s cloud delivered platform provides elevated secure access while not impeding that flow of business of both the acquired and the acquiree demand, offering a more rapid timeline for the business (and IT) to start value capture activities.

This keynote will provide a Zscaler solution overview on how we can drive real value and differentiation for your organization’s M&A/ Divestiture approach.

Keynote

Securing GenAI - the newest kid on the block

The usage of GenAI tools has been growing exponentially in enterprises since the release of ChatGPT almost two years ago. There is no doubt that GenAI can enable businesses and users within them to be productive and agile. Almost every software vendor is incorporating some form of Large Language Model capability in their tools to make them even more powerful. At the same time, we also hear about the risks of adopting these cutting edge technologies in terms of data loss and IP pollution that can cost the brand recognition of the businesses. This puts the IT security teams in a catch 22 situation.

It is no longer an option for enterprises to outright block access to these tools as it would put them behind competitively. In this presentation we will talk about the emergence of these tools and the risks associated with them. We will provide the steps that security teams can adopt to safely enable these apps for users to take advantage of the benefits while maintaining the security posture of the organization.
