Italy Sep 25, 2025 Invitation Only Physical italian
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.

Camelot national lottery operator is winning with multi-layered defense from Trend Micro
National lottery operator is winning with multi-layered defense from Trend Micro
OVERVIEW
For over two decades, Camelot Group has been making dreams come true as steward of the UK’s National Lottery. The Watford-headquartered company has grown to over 700 employees and generates billions of pounds in revenue each year, although much of this goes to good causes, as well as national treasury, the Exchequer.
CHALLENGES
In early 2017, Camelot Head of Information Security, David Boda, and his team reviewed the firm’s endpoint protection capabilities, shortlisting Trend Micro after carrying out in-depth due diligence in the market. Being shortlisted was no mean feat: Boda and his team conducted exhaustive market research, rating solutions by as many as 40 different criteria. As the operator of the UK’s National Lottery, the firm represents a major target to online attackers, so he was keen to source the latest functionality from mounting endpoint threats, including ransomware, data theft, phishing and more.
WHY TREND
It was also crucial to invest in a trusted cybersecurity expert with strong cross-platform support, offering best-in-class capabilities across multiple layers of IT infrastructure. With previous experience with Trend Micro™ TippingPoint™ products, Boda already knew “the engineering was really good”, causing him to line Trend Micro up for a proof-of-concept trial.
"Because we run such a wide technology stack, it’s been great that Trend Micro works across all our different platforms."

Head of Information Security, Camelot
SOLUTION
The results were outstanding and Camelot chose Trend Micro™ Smart Protection™ for Endpoints for comprehensive, cloud-based endpoint protection, complementing its previous investment in Trend Micro™ Deep Security™ data center platform for on-premise and cloud environments.
Trend Micro™ Worry-Free™ Services is part of the Smart Protection for Endpoint platform. It’s powered by XGen™ security, offering a blend of cross-generational threat prevention techniques optimized so the right tool is always used at the right time. This includes everything from web and file reputation to app control, behavioural analysis and pre-execution and runtime machine learning.
Smart Protection for Endpoints offers:
Deep Security is Trend Micro’s flagship offering for protecting server workloads, providing:
RESULTS
Camelot Group’s increasing investment in Trend Micro products across its IT infrastructure illustrates a partnership based on trust and exceptional performance. Trend Micro’s technical team worked hand-in-hand with Camelot from the initial investigation phase to align with both business and technical needs. That engagement had grown even closer over time to include discussions over product feature roadmaps and rapid response to any ongoing support queries.
“Because we run such a wide technology stack, it’s been great that Trend Micro works across all our different platforms,” says Boda. “When we buy technology, we’re only partly buying the tech itself. The real investment is in outsourcing the engineering function behind it, so knowing it works well and is protecting us against the mounting cyber threats out there is vital.”
The relationship has even expanded beyond product into other areas. Trend Micro accepted an invitation recently to speak at Camelot HQ on how employees can create a more secure online environment at home for their families. It’s a great idea and one we’re delighted to get behind as part of our push to raise awareness about internet safety for kids and families.
