Imagine being able to monitor, simulate, and optimise an entire city, factory, or supply chain in real time. Next-generation digital twins are making this vision a reality, transforming how we manage and understand complex systems. By creating dynamic virtual replicas of physical assets and processes, digital twins allow organisations to predict issues, optimize performance, and make data-driven decisions with unprecedented accuracy.This event will explore how digital twins are being used across industries to revolutionize the way we operate and maintain large-scale, intricate systems—whether it’s the infrastructure of a smart city, the efficiency of a factory floor, or the resilience of global supply chains.Examples of Digital Twins in Action:Smart Cities: Urban planners can use digital twins to simulate traffic flow, monitor energy usage, or predict the impact of weather events on infrastructure. This enables cities to optimize resources and improve the quality of life for their citizens.Factories of the Future: Manufacturing plants are leveraging digital twins to monitor equipment in real time, prevent downtime, and optimize production lines. With predictive analytics, factories can avoid costly breakdowns and improve overall efficiency.Supply Chain Management: Complex supply chains, spanning continents and industries, can be modeled as digital twins to track shipments, simulate disruptions, and optimize logistics. Businesses can reduce inefficiencies and respond faster to market demands.Key Themes:Real-Time Monitoring and Simulation: How digital twins provide real-time insights into complex systems, allowing for dynamic response and optimization.Predictive Power: Leveraging AI and data analytics, digital twins help organisations predict and mitigate issues before they happen, from equipment failures to supply chain bottlenecks.Scalability Across Ecosystems: Digital twins aren’t limited to individual assets—learn how they can be scaled across entire ecosystems like smart cities or global supply chains for maximum impact.Building Trust and Security: With digital twins handling critical infrastructure and sensitive data, what are the security and governance frameworks needed to ensure trust in these virtual systems?Why You Should Attend:Next-generation digital twins are no longer just a concept—they are revolutionizing industries by offering a new way to manage complexity. Whether you’re looking to optimize a city, factory, or supply chain, this event will provide practical insights into how digital twins can transform your organisation’s operations and drive future innovation.

Semantix Partners delivers actionable intelligence and solutions to IT Sector
Under the leadership of Enio Moraes, DPO and CISO, Semantix leverages AI to further enhance data security and governance capabilities. The company’s continuous improvement in these areas to ensure the protection and growth of the company’s valuable data.
OVERVIEW
Founded in 2010, Semantix has been developing technologies and solutions for data management and intelligence, with projects that include big data, cloud, IoT (the internet of things), and quantum computing. With a presence across South America, Semantix has partnered with the best and most innovative companies in the IT sector.
Leading the digital expansion is Enio Moraes, DPO and CISO of Semantix. With more than 10 years in the IT field working in project management, information security (IS), and privacy management, Moraes joined Semantix to help defend and expand the company’s large databases using artificial intelligence (AI).
"We are already at a very good level of IS and data management, but these are areas where we cannot rest. We must always be improving and increasing."

Semantix required greater visibility into their cloud operations and a better method to build and defend applications. With the increasing volume and complexity of operations, these silos led to vulnerabilities and potential security breaches; a critical concern for a data-focused company, especially in the GDPR era.
This led Moraes and his team to search the market for a solution that would bring visibility and actionable intelligence without impacting Semantix’s high performance or harming the dynamics of business operations. “We are already at a very good level of IS and data management, but these are areas where we cannot rest. We must always be improving and increasing”, says Moraes.
After a meeting with Trend Micro experts, Moraes and his team chose Trend Micro Cloud One – Conformity and Trend Micro – Open Source Security by Snyk. This provided Semantix with a greater clarity to their operations within the cloud—including important data on client location and availability zones—making it possible to design a better cloud strategy for their services and operations.
In addition, Moraes was provided with the ability to prioritize alerts, alleviating alert overload that could hamper his team’s responsiveness to the most critical threats.
SOLUTION
Trend Micro solutions provided immediate results that benefitted day-to-day operations, both in terms of security and risk reduction in the cloud as well as overall cost savings. In addition, Semantix improved operation in its code, guaranteeing a safe development of its applications, both in projects and in products.
RESULTS
With the help of Trend Micro, Semantix now has a 24/7 operations center with a team of more than 30 people. Through Trend Micro’s portfolio, Semantix has bots simulating and performing various tests on all operations and cloud accounts. This means that, when configuration inconsistencies arise or suspicious elements are identified, the team receives an alert and can act proactively and instantly.
WHAT'S NEXT
Due to his positive partnership with Trend Micro, Moraes sees a potential to integrate products used by the Semantix Data Platform with Trend Micro’s 30+ years of security intelligence. “For the future of this partnership, we increasingly need to leverage our product with AI, IS, and code improvement”, says Moraes.
With an increasingly digital and connected future ahead, Semantix is forecasting that their solutions will gain even more relevance and will look to Trend Micro to guarantee safe and consistent operations.

The role of the CIO has evolved from managing systems to shaping outcomes: growth, resilience, and competitive edge are now won or lost in the technology arena. Today ’ s CIOs must balance stability with innovation, control costs while attracting scarce talent, and modernise legacy infrastructure while adopting emerging technologies.
As AI transitions from a specialised tool to an all-pervasive force, understanding its profound implications for our human lives is no longer merely academic but an urgent imperative for social well-being and strategic preparedness.
Geopolitical tensions have dominated the headlines for over two years now. In this context, the cyber threat landscape is also evolving rapidly. The protection and security of critical infrastructure – both physical and digital – is becoming increasingly important.
