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.

D2C gains clear view into its internal network with Trend Micro
Gains clear view into its internal network with Trend Micro
OVERVIEW
Established in 2000 by NTT Docomo, Dentsu, and NTT Advertising, the D2C integrated digital marketing group is highly regarded for its mobile advertising and is expanding to take its digital market-based activities from Japan to the rest of Asia and beyond. As a digital marketing company, security is important and it swiftly acquired PrivacyMark and an ISMS certification. Since targeted attacks and internal crime have recently become more prevalent, the company has also implemented security awareness training.
CHALLENGES
D2C employees have access to a range of information in their work. “We manage web access and software using whitelists, but employees can use just about anything if they ask,” says D2C’s Yosuke Nohira. “Risk is inherent, so security is always important,” adds D2C’s Tatsuya Suzuki.
Increased damage from targeted attacks worldwide led D2C to shift its approach to IT in 2012 from information management to information security and overhaul its security. Out went antivirus software for personal use and in came Trend Micro™ OfficeScan™ to centralize virus detection and countermeasures. “The trial edition was extremely light,” recalls Nohira.
However, in 2014 an incident with its ASP email service led D2C to reconsider its security measures. “We didn’t know what was happening in our internal network, and information was potentially being leaked so visualization became an urgent issue,” says Nohira.
We have been able to greatly reduce the amount of time we spend on security management and operations.

Assistant Manager, Group Management Department,
Corporate Division, D2C Inc.
WHY TREND
D2C started looking for a solution to detect invisible threats and check for information leaks. It implemented Deep Discovery Inspector and took advantage of the Trend Micro Connected Threat Defense, which provides a layered approach to security that prevents, detects, and responds to threats.
“Network visualization and detecting unknown threats were key. Furthermore, the advantages of great manageability provided by using the same pattern file as OfficeScan, a single point of contact, and automated responses with a Connected Threat Defense were attractive,” says Nohira.
SOLUTION
Deep Discovery Inspector monitors traffic with mirror ports and visualizes communication between a network and the internet. The sandbox inspects suspicious files, which met D2C’s requirements.
Deep Discovery Inspector sends detected threat information to OfficeScan via Trend Micro Control Manager. This enables threat detection and blocking, even for threats which cannot be detected by pattern files on the client side.
RESULTS
D2C succeeded in getting a clearer picture inside their network with Deep Discovery Inspector. “Visualization of the network showed us a lot of suspicious email slipped through the spam filter,” says Mr. Nohira.
Deep Discovery Inspector, thanks to its integration with OfficeScan, detected information and D2C isolated suspicious devices. Suspicious files and URLs/IP addresses that were detected were handled manually – not processed or blocked. However, this recently changed. “Just after the WannaCry ransomware caused a global uproar, we saw a massive increase in suspicious email, sometimes a few hundred a day. We couldn’t keep up, so we made changes to ensure suspicious files, URLs, and IP addresses were automatically isolated, and got through it without damage,” says Nohira. There has been no impact on business through false detection and the operational load has decreased by half.
Also, by adopting Deep Discovery Inspector’s threat levels, D2C has a company-wide standard for situations requiring an urgent response, allowing anyone to respond appropriately. “Deep Discovery Inspector reports are really helpful. We can identify the kind of attack and if there is a risk of information leakage, so it’s easier to explain things to management,” says Suzuki.
WHAT'S NEXT
“We used to just assume we were alright, but Deep Discovery Inspector showed us the real state of affairs. Our CISO highlighted the potential for cyberattacks to be launched against NTT Docomo and Dentsu through D2C, so we will keep concentrating on security, firstly focusing on email security and other countermeasures,” says Suzuki. “We have a small security team meaning a full SIEM implementation is unrealistic, so we want to leverage Trend Micro’s Connected Threat Defense and correlation analysis to create something similar,” adds Nohira.
