Moving Legacy Systems to the Cloud Efficiently : Balancing cost, risk, and continuity in complex migrations

Migrating legacy systems to the cloud remains one of the toughest balancing acts in IT. Every choice affects stability, cost, and trust at once, and what starts as a modernisation effort quickly turns into a negotiation between ambition and reality. Suddenly budgets rise, dependencies appear late, and timelines tighten as old architectures collide with new expectations. In the end, success depends on sequencing, ownership, and aligning business priorities with infrastructure limits, and not only on technical readiness. Making it work requires more than a plan on paper. Knowing which systems genuinely belong in the cloud, which can wait, and which should stay put shapes the entire roadmap and defines its success. Each refactoring decision sets the level of future flexibility, but it also drives cost and risk. The trade-offs between speed, sustainability, and resilience only become clear once migration begins and pressure builds. Let’s discuss how to plan migrations that stay on track, manage hidden dependencies, and handle downtime with confidence. Let’s also discuss how governance, testing, and vendor coordination keep progress visible and credible. Are you in? A closed conversation for those who turn cloud migration from a disruption into a long-term advantage.

The CIO as Investor - CIONET Belgium Annual Event

CIOs today are being judged less as technology leaders and more as portfolio managers. Every euro is under scrutiny. Boards and CFOs demand lower run costs, higher efficiency, and clear ROI from every digital initiative. Yet, they also expect CIOs to place bets on disruptive technologies that will keep the enterprise competitive in five years. This constant tension is redefining the role. In this session, we go beyond FinOps and cost reporting to tackle the strategic financial dilemmas CIOs face.

AI-Driven Development: Redesigning workflows, responsibilities, and trust in the age of automation

AI coding assistants entered development teams quietly, but their impact grows by the day. What started as autocomplete now shapes architecture decisions, documentation, and testing. And when productivity gains are visible, so are new risks: security blind spots, uneven quality, and the slow erosion of shared standards. Teams move faster, but not always in the same direction. The challenge has become integration rather than adoption. And new questions have risen: how do you blend automation into established practices without losing oversight? When is human review still essential, and what should the rules of collaboration between developer and machine look like? As AI tools learn from proprietary code, where do responsibility and accountability sit? Let’s talk about how to redefine those workflows, balancing creativity with control, and protecting code quality in a hybrid human-AI environment. A closed conversation on where AI accelerates progress, where it introduces new debt, and how development culture must evolve to stay credible.

Zero Trust in Reality : Making segmentation, identity, and access work in complex environments

Zero Trust sounds simple on paper: trust no one, verify everything. But once you start implementing it, the fun begins. Legacy systems, hybrid networks, and human habits don’t read the manual. The idea is solid; the execution, not so much.

US Healthcare Provider improves Data Security in the Cloud

Improves Data Security in the Cloud

OVERVIEW

An independent healthcare technology company operates the largest financial and administrative information exchange in the United States. This company collaborates with payers and providers to apply innovative data, as well as analytics solutions and services, to help improve clinical decision-making, simplify billing, collection, and payment processes—and enable a better patient experience. The company relies on Trend Micro to help protect sensitive healthcare information and ensure compliance.

CHALLENGES

The company’s innovative technology team uses large volumes of sensitive data in an AWS environment. The team needed to enforce specific security policies, as well as governance and compliance, with stringent healthcare regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The team also needed to simplify configuration and deployment of internal security rules, such as encryption. This enables them to adopt additional cloud capabilities while maintaining compliance.

SOLUTION

After researching the available options, the team chose Trend Micro Cloud One - Conformity to strengthen their security portfolio in the cloud, enhance visibility and control over their sensitive assets, and automate compliance with regulations. Conformity is supported by its knowledge base, which uses over 600 step-by-step rules based on the AWS Well-Architected Framework. This allows the company to ensure that configuration and compliance requirements are maintained as they scale workloads and increase their commitment to cloud infrastructure. Conformity also provides the team with complete visibility into their security environment via a single pane of glass and provides actionable insights to help them respond to any incidents.

RESULTS

Now, the team can simplify the configuration and deployment of internal security rules and centrally manage and monitor the misconfiguration of cloud resources. Conformity automates the company’s compliance with healthcare regulations, providing continuous checks to ensure their security posture is upheld without the need for manual tasks or upkeep. This ensures that the healthcare provider’s infrastructure is configured and deployed securely from end to end.

Conformity allows the healthcare team to adopt new AWS services quickly and confidently while maintaining compliance and security protection for sensitive data.
