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.

The GrEEK Campus secures campus with Trend Micro Endpoint Security
The GrEEK Campus, a leading tech and innovation hub, faced growing cyber threats. Trend Micro's comprehensive security solutions protected its data and ensured business continuity, allowing it to focus on innovation and growth.
OVERVIEW
Cairo’s first technology and innovation park offers a springboard for Egypt’s innovators. Based in the heart of the nation’s capital, The GrEEK Campus is laser-focused on a techimmersed future of capable professionals and transformed industries.
The GrEEK Campus offers a diverse collection of spaces that integrate work and life for all types of businesses. Startups, entrepreneurs, enthusiasts, and creatives meet with industry leaders, incubators, accelerators, and investors to enable growth. Founded in 2014, the organization now has more than 1,600 members in 160 offices, supporting the launch of more than 90 startups and the hosting of around 1,000 events each year.
CHALLENGES
Following the breach of a key workstation, caused by ransomware, The GrEEK Campus decided that it needed a holistic solution that blended privacy and security—all while maintaining an agile architecture that was flexible and scalable. “It was one of our finance workstations that got infected,” explained Marwan Arafah, head of technology, The GrEEK Campus. “The ransomware showed up not long after we mistakenly disabled Trend Micro™ Maximum Security. That event demonstrated to us the clear need for a more centralized security solution that would enable our IT team to have a comprehensive, real-time view of the entire technology stack.”
WHY TREND
The GrEEK Campus began its search for the right security vendor. “Of course, we casted our net around for other vendors, but we kept coming back to Trend Micro,” says Arafah. “They had been our trusted partner for quite a while, and had never let us down.”
After some research, Arafah discovered Trend Micro’s wide range of products and services that protect individuals and organizations from threats both online and offline. “We had already established confidence in Trend Micro’s quality of service, it made the most sense to reach out to them and consult on a full-fledged solution,” says Arafah.
“Trend Micro really stood out in terms of the range of options they provided; in trying to protect our circle of innovators, we needed a trusted partner who could walk us through our options,” says Arafah.
Our experience with the deployment of Trend Micro’s solution was very smooth. Within hours, we rolled out protection measures across our ecosystem and Trend Micro’s team provided us with timely information and support at every step.

SOLUTION
“Our experience with the deployment of Trend Micro’s solution was very smooth,” says Arafah. “Within hours, we rolled out protection measures across our ecosystem and Trend Micro’s team provided us with timely information and support at every step.”
Since implementing Trend Micro™ Worry-Free™ Business Security and Trend Micro™ Cloud App Security, The GrEEK Campus has experienced heightened confidence in its security posture. Its IT team now has greater visibility of events across networks and endpoints than ever before. Worry-Free Business Security provides protection, such as antivirus, antispam, web security, ransomware protection, and data security, for PC, Mac®, server, and mobile devices.
Cloud App Security provides another layer of confidence by enabling the campus to deliver all of the benefits cloud services offer to its employees and members, while maintaining a strong threat posture. Cloud App Security protects incoming and outgoing Office 365® email from advanced malware, and compliance is enforced on cloud file-sharing services, like Dropbox™ and Google Drive™.
Since rolling out Cloud App Security, our IT team was able to focus more on our core business needs, as we trusted Trend Micro to protect our Microsoft 365 activity.

Head of Technology, The GrEEK Campus
RESULTS
Worry-Free Business Security and Cloud App Security now protects The GrEEK Campus’ employees and members from a growing threat landscape and frees up much-needed resources that can be diverted to more innovative tasks. “Since rolling out Cloud App Security, our IT team was able to focus more on our core business needs, as we trusted Trend Micro to protect our Microsoft 365 activity,” says Arafah. “And our finance team can now be rest assured that their data is safe with Worry-Free Business Security. This is a huge load off our mind. Now we can concentrate on our fundamental mission—the cultivation of a creative environment for our nation’s future business leaders.”
