Web application environments are more complex than ever. Many span multiple clouds, often include containers, are connected via APIs, and delivered via CDNs. While exploits against known vulnerabilities remain common, advanced campaigns use a variety of tactics to compromise web applications. An abundance of tools claiming to address these challenges has left many security teams unclear as to where to focus their attention. On top of this, security teams are worried about how to address increased usage of genAI in development, and attacks that leverage AI. Join John Grady and Melinda Marks as they discuss recent research on the application protection market and modern application security to help security teams solve the challenges they face.

Trends in Application Security and Increasing AI Adoption

Generative AI (GenAI) could contribute $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion annually to the global economy according to consulting firm McKinsey, but achieving business goals requires using GenAI in a trustworthy and secure manner. As enterprise business units pour resources to drive innovation, security teams need to avoid compliance violations and data loss. Security for GenAI is a many-layered cake requiring security teams to consider everything from the (sensitive) data informing the model to prompt responses that might result in (sensitive) data exfiltration. Join Todd Thiemann as he discusses recent research on data resilience and data loss prevention in the context of GenAI.

Data Security & GenAI Infrastructure: Facilitating Innovation While Avoiding Compromises

The introduction of AI has created an imperative for the transformation of virtually every business system.

Organizations are confronted with evolving database requirements crucial for harnessing AI's full potential, including generative AI. And customers are recognizing the powerful potential of building using their own enterprise data. As AI technologies advance, traditional databases often fall short in addressing the demands associated with AI to handle scalability, flexibility, and real-time data processing that can help extract the most valuable data insights that drive the businesses forward. 

In this talk, Steve Catanzano will explore how AI has forced the reshaping of data management constructs like mission-critical databases, and the desire to apply new tools such as Vector and RAG to build a trusted foundation needed to create new solutions driven by data and AI.

Rethinking Database Requirements in the Age of AI

Generative AI promises to make customer service staff, including contact center agents, more productive, creative, and less likely to quit. Contact centers, as a particular arena of customer service, employ millions around the world but has a notoriously high turnover rate. It follows then that companies and other organizations face an ongoing challenge of recruiting, developing, and retaining customer service employees. Research shows an overwhelming majority of organizations believe generative AI tools have the potential to improve customer service operations, and most customer service workers remain positive, if not extremely positive, about the usage of AI. 

Join Brian McKenna to find out how organizations can raise the strategic level of their customer service and experience programs, how they need to intensify their focus on the critical area of customer data security, and how they can harness AI, generative and traditional, to better achieve these business goals.

The Impact of GenAI on the Evolution of Customer Service Technologies

Understanding and applying generative AI requires a deep technical knowledge base, and many organizations struggle to keep pace with the dynamic market. Which model is best for our use case? How can we incorporate our own data? How can we get started with responsible AI? Moreover, implementing and scaling GenAI solutions demands substantial computational resources and robust IT infrastructure. These factors coupled with the need to comply with data privacy regulations and AI ethics norms are creating a troubling scenario for organizations that want to leverage this powerful technology but need help getting started and eventually scaling its use within the business. 

Knowing many organizations rely on partners to bridge skill gaps and navigate the intricacies of GenAI development, join Mike Leone as he highlights his latest research study on the growing partner ecosystem and its crucial role in supporting GenAI, especially as organizations rapidly ramp up initiatives.

Navigating the Generative AI Partner and Alliance Landscape

Generative AI has taken the world by storm since OpenAI introduced ChatGPT in late 2022, and it is widely considered one of the most potentially transformative technologies in many years. However, GenAI technology and its ecosystem are evolving quickly, and many organizations are struggling to stay abreast of the constantly changing landscape. 

As this nascent market emerges, organizations continue to seek guidance to help steer their deployments, asking: What are the emerging best practices? Which use cases are prevailing? How mature is the market and how is this maturity defined? Is it best to build, buy, or partner? The ever-evolving nature of the answers to these questions creates a complex scenario for organizations that want to leverage GenAI technology. Join Mark Beccue as he discusses recent research on the State of the Generative AI market.

The State of the Generative AI Market: Widespread Transformation Continues

This talk will explore the evolution of IT operations over the past few decades, highlighting the shift from simpler, less interconnected systems to the complex digital environments we see today. 

 Join KFC's Manager of Business Intelligence Farid Sheikhi as he delves into these challenges and discusses their impact on business performance and agility, emphasizing the need for modern approaches to IT operations.

Transforming Legacy IT Operations for Modern Business

Imagine a world where your customers are your biggest fans, and your employees rave about their IT Operations Department. It's not a dream, it's within your reach!

We think our customers want 100% availability of business-critical services, but they expect all their devices and services to work seamlessly.
We don’t give it to them because it takes all our resources to support infrastructure and services. This leaves them suffering with reactive support, waiting for devices to fail and then logging an incident to get support…waiting…waiting…waiting.

AI as a strategy removes the resource constraint. AI enables us to shift our focus by using automation to manage, prevent, and correct technical issues. From cyber attacks to daily maintenance, tools using AI enable even small operations departments to do it all, transforming the employee and customer experience.
