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.

Eventus leverages Trend Micro to build next-generation cybersecurity practice
Leverages Trend Micro to build next-generation cybersecurity practice
OVERVIEW
With the goal of becoming a trusted global leader in managed security services, Eventus fortifies its customers against cyberattacks with a solid security operations platform, expertise, and industry best practices. As a startup services provider, Eventus quickly identified the need for security operations center as a service (SOCaaS) for its customers, partnering with Trend Micro to provide a technology foundation for its services, including XDR-powered SOCaaS.
We have reduced our customers' mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) ratio for incidents down from weeks to hours.
CHALLENGES
As a managed security services provider (MSSP), Eventus juggles multiple customers’ SOCs, acting as an extension of customers’ in-house capabilities or as a completely outsourced unit. This requires switching between multiple consoles and platforms to monitor and manage technology assets. Eventus also needs to reduce the mean time to respond, repair, resolve, and recover assets in the event of an attack and leverage human intelligence on top of its security services.
“We strongly believe in human intelligence. Security solutions are good for detecting, protecting, and alerting various security threats, but human threat investigation is something we also want to drive,” says Jay Thakker, Practice Head at Eventus.
With Trend Vision One™ for Service Providers, our SOC analysts have a multi-tenant view. We primarily use one platform and we can easily switch to different customer views without opening multiple consoles.
WHY TREND
As Eventus transformed from a Trend reseller to MSSP—including offering breach attack simulations, red teaming, security assessments, penetration testing, and SOCaaS—the depth and breadth of Trend offerings allowed it to reduce risk. “With Trend, our SOC analysts have a multi-tenant view. We primarily use one platform and we can easily switch to different customer views without opening multiple consoles,” says Thakker.
SOLUTION
Trend Vision One™ for Service Providers extends Trend security orchestration, automation, and response capabilities to MSSPs and offers hundreds of integrations with leading security providers. It also supports SOC efficiency through log ingestion and alerting rules based on log analytics. “We now have ample time for investigation. The enrichment and response part is completely automated with playbooks,” says Thakker.
Eventus uses the end-to-end technology provided by Trend to manage incident response cases for powerful cross-layered correlation with XDR. “As a provider that prides itself on differentiating through services, we can now showcase the Cyber Risk Index score to our customers and highlight what needs to be done to patch vulnerabilities, offering increased transparency,” says Thakker. “Our team also is an early adopter of the powerful generative AI analytics capabilities, which is further accelerating the performance and productivity of our users.”
RESULTS
Trend Vision One™ for Service Providers provides SOC efficiency, automating simple tasks and filtering out false positive alerts. It allows for faster detection rates and frees up analysts to focus on strategic work such as investigating and proactively searching for threats. With a single platform, analysts can manage cases, respond to cases and tickets, and resolve incidents. And if the customer already has an XDR solution in place, Eventus can onboard the customer within two days instead of weeks.
“The technology does the mundane work, and the analysts focus on the strategy, which is more time-consuming,” says Thakker. “Trend has sped up the process so SOC analysts can use their time more efficiently. We have reduced our customer’s mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) ratio for incidents down from weeks to hours.”
WHAT'S NEXT
Eventus plans to keep augmenting the security services it provides to customers, including offering threat intel services, dark web monitoring, and brand monitoring. The company is also experimenting with incubating zero-trust as part of its SOCaaS offerings, all built on Trend Vision One™. “We are deeply and heavily invested with Trend. For us, Trend is like family. We are continuously hiring Trend professionals and we are training Trend professionals internally,” says Thakker.
