The game has changed, clearly. Attackers have AI, defenders have AI, and both sides are learning faster than anyone expected, or maybe the attackers are just a bit faster. What used to take hours now happens in seconds, and detection windows close before alerts even appear. It’s adaptation beyond automation, and no one gets to sit still. But every promise of AI-driven defence comes with a price. The tools are expensive to train, maintain, and monitor. Mistakes cost more too. False positives drain teams, model drift hides real threats, and poisoned data turns protection into confusion. So now it’s not only about defending networks, it’s about defending the defenders themselves, from fatigue, blind trust, and automation gone wrong. So how do you keep visibility when both sides use the same weapons? How do you detect intent when patterns look human but aren’t? How do you justify cost when failure still happens, just faster? Let’s explore what happens when algorithms face each other on both sides of the firewall, and what new defences emerge when speed alone is no longer enough. A closed conversation about a future where cybersecurity becomes an AI vs AI battle, and humans still have to win.

For banks, insurers, and other financial services leaders, core modernization is rarely a simple technology decision. The harder question is what to replace, what to wrap, what to rebuild selectively, and what to leave alone. This round table brings together senior peers to discuss how they are making those choices under real constraints: resilience, control, regulatory scrutiny, delivery speed, vendor dependency, and the risk of getting sequencing wrong. The conversation will focus on practical judgment, where modernization creates value, where it adds risk, and how to move forward without triggering another multi-year transformation cycle. A small-group discussion for leaders looking for clear decisions, credible trade-offs, and peer perspective.

Every vendor swears their platform is open, flexible, and built for freedom. Then comes the renewal date. The price goes up, migration looks painful, and “strategic partnership” starts to feel more like dependency. Most organisations don’t get trapped overnight, they walk into it one contract at a time. Broadcom, anyone? We know lock-in isn’t only technical, it’s commercial, architectural, and even cultural. Once tools shape how teams work, switching becomes not only costly but politically impossible. So how do you manage dependency without losing leverage? What do you do when moving away costs more than staying? How do you negotiate from a position of weakness? And what governance models help prevent lock-in before it happens? Let’s share how to keep options open, make vendors compete without breaking partnerships, and find leverage even when it seems there’s none left. A closed conversation for those who’ve learned that freedom in IT is rarely free.

The cloud engineer’s world keeps expanding. It started with provisioning and automation, but now it touches everything: resilience, security, cost, and even business continuity. What used to be a back-end function has become one of the most visible roles in digital operations. Yet with that visibility comes pressure: constant evolution, constant firefighting, and very little time to step back and ask, “Where is this career actually going?”

How TeleClinic future-proofed their support with AI-powered automation
When the pandemic made automation a necessity, TeleClinic turned to Ultimate for an automation solution that could provide empathetic and efficient customer support at scale. Three years later, TeleClinic continues to trust Ultimate for the future success of their CX.
TeleClinic is a platform that matches patients with doctors for online consultations via mobile app.
Since launching in 2015, TeleClinic has emerged as Germany's leading provider of telemedicine. They serve a two-sided market of healthcare professionals and patients.
A team of 20 customer service agents provide round-the-clock support to TeleClinic users.
TeleClinic offers automated support via both ticket and chat.
When the pandemic created an unforeseen spike in demand, TeleClinic knew they needed to automate. Since then, their unique use cases have called for an even more sophisticated automation solution
Not only did Ultimate help agents manage a 500% uptick in requests during the pandemic, but it has since enabled them to separately serve both doctors and patients via two custom-built bots.
TeleClinic experienced a 500% increase in requests during the pandemic, which was overwhelming for their support team to say the least. From where they saw it: they could either hire and onboard a lot more people quickly, or automate processes to support their existing team. When faced with this decision, it was clear that AI-powered automation was the only logical choice. After researching other competitors, TeleClinic chose Ultimate as the best automation solution to meet their complex use cases in serving both doctors and patients. They also needed to work with an automation provider located in the EU to ensure GDPR compliance, and Ultimate fit the bill.
Three years later, Ultimate’s automation solution continues to help remove barriers in access for people seeking telemedical support – and to the doctors looking to provide it. For example, both patients and doctors are able to self-serve much more quickly through the platform, with a whopping workload reduction of 18.9 hours per ticket. TeleClinic has also been able to steadily reduce costs, with €100,504.42 saved in 2023 alone. They’ve achieved all this while keeping their agents happy, too. Due to upticks in requests during hay fever season or when there is a stomach bug going around, agent workload remains stable thanks to automation. As a result, agent NPS score has been a steady 8.5/10. From a global pandemic to hay fever season, TeleClinic feels prepared to weather whatever the future holds thanks to Ultimate's automation solution.

Head of Patient Operations, TeleClinic
Telemedicine is a naturally complex industry so TeleClinic loves our solution that provides tailored support to both time-pressed doctors and patients in need.
With a bot taking care of common customer requests, TeleClinic can meet fluctuating demand — without increasing agents’ workload.
Given the sensitive nature of the requests TeleClinic’s support team handles, they needed an automation partner they could rely on to treat customer data securely.
Their bot sits inside their existing tech stack and seamlessly integrates with their CRM, Zendesk. Ultimate analytics dashboard provides clear and easy to use stats.
In a high-stakes and ever-changing industry like telemedicine, TeleClinic is always thinking about how they can up their support game by using the best that CX automation has to offer. They are currently curious about how they can harness the potential of UltimateGPT , which uses generative AI to offer even more empathetic and efficient support as they continue to scale.
