W fabrykach cyberbezpieczeństwo często zależy od podwykonawców – integratorów, dostawców systemów automatyki i firm serwisowych, które mają zaskakująco szeroki dostęp do infrastruktury OT. W tej prezentacji Igor Zbyryt z BZK pokaże, jak z perspektywy końcowego użytkownika i integratora wygląda współpraca z tymi firmami oraz jakie realne ryzyka to niesie – również w kontekście NIS2. Zamiast wyliczać różnice między IT a OT, skupi się na wspólnym mianowniku i tym, co trzeba zmienić w podejściu organizacji, żeby cyber w produkcji zaczęło działać.

The system works. That’s the problem. It’s old, complex, deeply integrated, and still running your most critical operations. Everyone agrees change is needed. But no one wants to be the one who breaks it. The stakes are too high.

Cybersecurity ist längst kein reines IT-Thema mehr – sie betrifft das gesamte Unternehmen. Doch während die Bedrohungslage zunimmt, geraten viele Security-Verantwortliche an ihre Belastungsgrenzen: zwischen 24/7-Verantwortung, wachsenden Anforderungen und dem ständigen Innovationsdruck.

IT-Betrieb und Cybersicherheit stehen heute unter extremem Druck: steigende Komplexität, wachsende regulatorische Anforderungen (NIS2, DORA, KRITIS), chronische Ressourcenknappheit – und gleichzeitig eine Bedrohungslage, die keine Verzögerungen duldet. Trotzdem agieren viele IT- und Security-Teams noch immer in Silos. Die Folge: ineffiziente Abläufe, Tool-Wildwuchs, langsame Reaktion auf Vorfälle und unklare Verantwortlichkeiten.

La dette technique est comparable à la négligence des réparations d'une maison. Ignorer un toit qui fuit peut faire gagner du temps aujourd'hui, mais cela pourrait conduire à l'effondrement du plafond plus tard. Pour remédier à la dette technique, il faut trouver et réparer ces fuites dès maintenant et mettre en place un plan d'entretien de la maison afin qu'elle soit prête pour les extensions futures. Pour résoudre ces problèmes, il faut définir des priorités stratégiques, communiquer clairement avec les parties prenantes et établir une feuille de route à long terme pour la modernisation. Cet événement se déroulera entièrement en français.

Read MoreBuilding an AI Roadmap: How IDDI Turned 100+ Use Cases into Strategic Action
IDDI partnered with Yuma to build an AI roadmap that aligned innovation with business goals, starting with collaborative workshops that surfaced over 100 real use cases. Four high-impact projects are now in motion, laying the groundwork for long-term transformation and competitive advantage.
Who is your customer?
IDDI (International Drug Development Institute) is a Contract Research Organization (CRO) that specializes in providing advanced biostatistical and clinical data management services to support pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies in the design and execution of clinical trials. Headquartered in Belgium, with offices in the US, IDDI is recognized for its strong expertise in the planning, analysis, and reporting of clinical studies, especially in oncology. The company combines scientific excellence with innovative statistical methodologies and eClinical technologies to optimize trial outcomes, reduce risk, and accelerate development timelines for its clients.
What was the challenge?
B12 consulting part of Yuma took on the challenge of creating an AI roadmap that not only enhanced operational efficiency but also fostered innovation, enabling the company to fully embrace and thrive in the AI era. This required identifying impactful use cases, aligning AI initiatives with business goals, and cultivating a forward-thinking, data-driven culture. It wasn't just about automating processes—it was about strategically integrating AI to unlock new opportunities, differentiate the company in a competitive landscape, and future-proof its core capabilities through smart, scalable AI adoption.
What was the solution?
Operational Discovery
The solution began with collaborative workshops across departments to introduce AI concepts and identify real-world challenges and led by Yuma’s AI experts. This led to a couple of 100 AI use cases, from efficiency improvements to transformative opportunities, all summarized in a cross-functional report.
Strategic Alignment
Next, a strategic workshop, animated by Yuma’s AI consultant, with leadership connected AI capabilities to the company’s long-term goals. This helped define how AI could drive innovation, enhance the customer experience, and support broader business transformation.
AI Roadmap Development
Finally, an actionable AI roadmap was created by Yuma’s team, prioritizing high-impact use cases based on feasibility and strategic value. Four key projects were chosen for immediate implementation to deliver quick wins and set the stage for long-term AI adoption.
Any measured ROI?
While it's still too early to quantify the full ROI, several projects are already designed to drive operational efficiency, while others aim to create a competitive edge in the market.

Embark on a culinary journey through the ever-evolving world of digital leadership with our third edition of the CIONET Cookbook: Recipes for Digital Success. Unveiling the intricate trilemma faced by today’s Master Chefs, our trailblazing European CIOs address a challenge at the nexus of customer interests, digital transformation strategies, and IT modernisation.

The CIONET Cookbook uses the analogy of a five-star restaurant to explain the importance of optimally integrated technology, with the CIO as Master Chef. In order to provide the best service to its customers, a top restaurant must have the right atmosphere, an inviting menu, a well-equipped kitchen, talented and committed front-of-house and kitchen staff and smooth-running processes that ensure an enjoyable experience for diners.
