Nel percorso verso l’AI e la trasformazione digitale, dati e automazione sono gli elementi centrali di ogni strategia tecnologica. Ma senza una governance chiara, rischiano di diventare non solo fonte di inefficienza, ma anche di rischi e incoerenza. Come garantire che i dati siano completi, accessibili e affidabili? Come automatizzare le operation IT e i processi aziendali mantenendo controllo, compliance e sicurezza? Durante questa roundtable esclusiva, organizzata da CIONET Italia e IBM, affronteremo: La governance come abilitatore di dati affidabili e automazione sicura. Come prepararsi a un’adozione dell’AI realmente scalabile. Il ruolo di controllo, resilienza e gestione del rischio nell’innovazione.

AI isn’t just another tool. It changes how we work, how we think, how we organise ourselves.Yet most organisations still approach it like a digital upgrade, deploying assistants, automating workflows, testing use cases inisolation.The results are predictable. Short-term wins. Long-term confusion.Effort spent. Value unclear.Many companies can’t connect AI to their actual strategic goals,and the promised ROI never materialises.At the same time, something deeper is shifting.AI can now reason, decide, adapt. Not just mimic processes butcontribute to them.The technology is evolving, but the way we implement it hasn’tcaught up.If your AI still fits inside a single department, you’re likely solvingthe wrong problem.If it works only for individuals, you're missing how your teamsactually deliver value.If it replaces people instead of supporting them, you're buildingfor today, not tomorrow.The next step isn’t more AI. It’s the right AI.Built for your business, your teams, your way of working.Not a tool to add but a structure to build around.Are we ready to treat AI as a shared capability, not a scatteredexperiment?Can we move beyond individual efficiency and build systems thatcollaborate, learn and adapt with us?Those are the questions we’ll explore at the round table.

À l’ère des mutations géopolitiques et réglementaires, l’établissement d’une souveraineté numérique est devenu un élément stratégique essentiel pour les entreprises. Ce dialogue stratégique mettra en lumière le rôle fondamental du réseau dans la mise en place du contrôle, de la confiance et de la résilience. Nous explorerons comment une infrastructure moderne et résiliente permet d’appliquer des politiques de gestion des données et d’assurer la continuité opérationnelle. Ce dialogue stratégique, réservé à un groupe restreint de pairs, est conçu pour permettre aux leaders du numérique d’échanger sur l’un des enjeux les plus urgents aujourd’hui. Nous discuterons des réseaux « sovereign-ready » et débattrons des préoccupations croissantes autour de la souveraineté des données, qui motivent l’adoption de politiques de confidentialité et de protection des données de plus en plus strictes à l’échelle mondiale.

Lupin Limited gains maximum security with Trend Micro
Gains maximum security with Trend Micro
OVERVIEW
Lupin Limited is a transnational pharmaceutical company founded in 1968, based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. Lupin manufactures and sells pharmaceutical products in over 100 countries, enjoying a major market share in India, United States, Japan, Europe, South Africa, Philippines, and Australia. Lupin has received numerous awards, including ranking number one in the Biotech and Pharma category, and number four amongst large organizations on the list of top 100 – Great Place to Work in 2017. Lupin Limited also received the Thomson Reuters India Innovation Award for Research & Development in 2017.
The growing threat landscape led Lupin to seek a comprehensive security solution that would equip its servers, network, and email with advanced protection that could detect and block security exploits. With the possibility of a future migration to the cloud, they also required a solution that came equipped with cloud capabilities.
CHALLENGES
As a global leader in the pharmaceutical industry, Lupin Limited required a highlevel security solution to safeguard critical applications in its data centers. As well, the company’s heavy use of email also made protecting email on Microsoft® Office 365® against advanced attacks a priority. With more than 300 servers running on multiple operating systems, Lupin also required the ability to detect targeted attacks, advanced threats, and ransomware across the network, capturing lateral, inbound and outbound traffic. Finally, Lupin wanted to manage the solution through a single console.
"Trend Micro is a huge plus to our organization. It has increased security by reducing the risk of data breaches. The virtualized environment has streamlined administration, without compromising security or flexibility."
Mayur Danait - CIO, Lupin Limited
WHY TREND
In the search for the right solution, Lupin found that Trend Micro™ Deep Security™ was the only solution able to meet its requirements for server and cloud protection. Deep Security supports legacy operating systems, provides seamless integration for VMware deployments, and integrates with multi-cloud players, including Amazon Web Services®, Microsoft® Azure®, and Google Cloud Platform™ service.
For the Office 365 environment, a proof of concept was performed, and the results in blocking phishing attacks, unknown malware, and other such threats convinced the IT team that Trend Micro™ Cloud App Security was the right solution. Trend Micro also came with the unique capability of providing Application programming interface (API) integration with Office 365 that prevents email rerouting.
Trend Micro’s position as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms since 2002, and its rank as the “most effective recommended breach detection system” for two years running by NSS Labs further encouraged Lupin to choose Trend Micro over other solutions.
"Trend Micro’s capabilities like virtual patching that shields from vulnerabilities without emergency patching, and cross-generational techniques like machine learning used to detect advanced malware are a big benefit to our organization."
Saurabh Kaushik - CISO, Lupin Limited
SOLUTION
The solution was successfully deployed in two phases. First, Deep Security was deployed in a hybrid environment. The solution was successfully deployed in two phases. First, Deep Security was deployed in a hybrid environment. Deep Security brought robust capabilities for physical, virtual, and cloud servers, in one integrated platform. The solution was integrated with Lupin’s VMware deployments, and the centralized management enabled continuous monitoring and vulnerability shielding, saving both time and resources.
Phase two included deployment of Smart Protection Complete and Deep Discovery™ Inspector. Cloud App Security was deployed on more than 20,000 mailboxes operating on Office 365. Trend Micro endpoint security, powered by XGen™ security, infuses highfidelity machine learning into a blend of threat protection techniques, providing superior protection against spam, phishing, malware, and targeted attacks.
Trend Micro™ OfficeScan™ solution eliminated security gaps across endpoints by constantly learning, adapting, and automatically sharing threat intelligence across Lupin’s environment. Trend Micro™ Connected Threat Defense delivered network sandbox rapid response updates to endpoints when a new threat was detected, enabling faster protection and reducing the spread of malware.
Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery™ Inspector provided identification against advanced and unknown malware, ransomware, zero-day exploits, command and control (C&C) communications, and evasive attacker activities that are invisible to standard security defenses, by using specialized detection engines and custom sandbox analysis. The solution further enhanced detection by monitoring all physical, virtual, north-south, and east-west traffic, offering 360 degrees of visibility.
RESULTS
Trend Micro was able to address Lupin’s security needs by shielding the data center from vulnerabilities through virtual patching, and protecting the endpoints, email, and network by eliminating security gaps. “Trend Micro’s capabilities like virtual patching that shields from vulnerabilities without emergency patching, and cross-generational techniques like machine learning used to detect advanced malware are a big benefit to our organization,” says Saurabh Kaushik, CISO, Lupin Limited.
Trend Micro was also able to complement the existing security solutions by providing outof- box integration with existing perimeter security solutions. The solution further simplified Lupin’s security operations with a single management dashboard for all capabilities.
