Boston CIO Executive Summit

Gartner research indicates that 46% of executive leaders report funding as one of their top barriers for sustainable IT. However, additional research reveals that some of the most cost-effective sustainable IT initiatives have less than a 30% adoption rate.

Join Distinguished VP Gartner Analyst, Kristin Moyer, to learn about:

• Long-term strategic roadmap to mitigate IT-related energy costs
• Can’t-miss double wins that reduce costs and GHG emissions at the same time
• Strategies to get credit for sustainable IT progress already made

You’ve heard it all before: the DBIR tells you people are your biggest risk, phishing simulations tell you your users fall for social engineering, and simple security measures you deploy are sometimes met with howls of protest. But what if it didn’t have to be that way?

Join this session for a fresh perspective on:

• Moving security alerts from the SOC to where users work
• Protecting end users perception of security controls
• Transforming security teams’ interactions with end users

As AI technologies rapidly evolve, the laws and ethical standards designed to govern them lag behind, creating a mismatch in the pace of innovation and regulation. This misalignment often leads to inadequate alignment with core principles such as trustworthiness, safety, and ethics. For AI leaders, mastering governance strategies that drive alignment with these core principles is key to ensuring the organization's risk profile is effectively managed.

Join AI, cybersecurity, and IP law expert Eran Kahana as he offers actionable insights on:

• Navigating the ethics of cutting-edge AI
• Deciphering global AI legislation dynamics
• Mastering AI governance and risk mitigation

Unstructured data is the essence of your business — files like product roadmaps, financial spreadsheets, customer surveys and employee records. Fragmented content across the business leads to security risks and high costs, making AI integration seem impossible. However, intelligent content management makes an AI-powered content strategy feasible.

Join this session to learn about:

• Identifying unstructured data sources and tools
• Developing robust security measures for internal and external data use
• Balancing AI with existing architecture to optimize unstructured data technology

 Additional details coming soon.

Delivering business critical applications safely is a delicate balancing act. The user experience is frequently compromised as application, infrastructure, and security teams negotiate the adoption of new services. Unfortunate trade-offs are sometimes necessary to address operational needs for the sake of maintaining security, but these trade-offs can make certain use cases unfeasible or diminish their value to the organization.

In this session, we will discuss: 

• Revolutionizing workspaces by balancing productivity, security, availability, and user experience.
• How quickly new technologies like the enterprise browser can be adopted to provide a competitive advantage
• Strategies for reducing the effort required to deliver applications and enhance organizational operations

 Additional details coming soon.
