Dispel:

Title of Presentation:
Unifying OT DMZs

Abstract:
Practically every company has undergone some sort of digital transformation in the physical domain - whether that be a smart air conditioning system at an office or a predictive maintenance program on an assembly line. OT DMZ assets are the technical term for such digital transformation systems. They are immensely beneficial for efficiency and revenue generation, but average $500K per facility, per year in the US. This talk covers recent developments in unifying OT DMZs across multiple facilities— a technique that eliminates duplicate software licenses and support teams. We’ll use examples from building management, oil and gas, maritime systems, and manufacturing.

Title of Presentation:
A Tale of Two ITs - Uniting CIO and CISO with a Single AI Data Lake

Abstract:
This presentation delves into the strategies for modernizing IT and security operations in today’s dynamic technological landscape. It explores the critical process of breaking down silos between IT and security operations to foster a unified, agile approach to managing enterprise systems and data. Key to this transformation is the migration of on-premises devices and infrastructure to the cloud, which not only enhances scalability and flexibility but also streamlines operational efficiency and reduces overhead costs.

The presentation further examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to revolutionize data management and analysis. By leveraging AI-driven conversational interfaces, organizations can enhance their ability to interact with and interpret complex data sets in real-time. This AI application not only simplifies data querying but also empowers users with actionable insights and predictive analytics, leading to more informed decision-making and strategic planning.
