Aktuell erkennen IT-Verantwortliche, dass die Implementierung einer Vielzahl von Werkzeugen ("Tools") für das punktuelle Risko- und Recovery-Management nicht automatisch die notwendige „operational & cyber resilience“ ergibt. Was braucht es zusätzlich – oder vielleicht sogar stattdessen?

Vulnerability Management: The Emperor Has No Clothes
Are you a CISO tired of playing whack-a-mole with vulnerabilities? Do you struggle to maintain an accurate asset inventory in today’s sprawling IT environments? Is identifying coverage gaps or prioritising remediation efforts a constant uphill battle? You’re not alone. The traditional approaches to vulnerability management are buckling under the weight of modern cyber risks.

CIONET Round Table - Reimagining Virtualisation
For years, virtualisation has been the backbone of IT infrastructure, driving modernisation, efficiency, and value. When integrated with a hybrid cloud strategy—spanning on-premises, cloud, and edge environments—it has revolutionised how enterprises manage their IT resources, enabling faster innovation and greater adaptability in increasingly complex ecosystems. Today, however, the virtualisation landscape is shifting rapidly due to new market dynamics and major vendor acquisitions. As a result, enterprises are grappling with rising costs, the challenge of maintaining flexibility, ensuring continuity and the need to ensure seamless operations. Many organisations now find themselves at a crossroads, reevaluating their virtualisation strategies in the short to medium term amid growing pressure to adapt. Therefore, we would like to invite you to this timely CIONET roundtable, where we will collaboratively examine the path forward.

Pierwsza awaria cię nie pogrąży, ale kolejna prawdopodobnie już tak - takie wnioski płyną z badania z udziałem CIO, które CIONET przeprowadził w Polsce w 2024 roku. Utrzymanie ciągłości biznesu pozostaje najważniejszym zadaniem liderów IT. Awarie platform technologicznych przekładają się na ogromne straty – od utraty przychodów i reputacji po kary nakładane przez organy kontrolne, w tym UODO, KNF czy UKE. Systemy analityczne i panele kontrolne zapewniają wgląd w wiele procesów, często pozostawiają jednak „martwe punkty” - obszary, w których kryją się niewidoczne problemy, nieefektywności lub ryzyka. Zapraszamy na ekskluzywne spotkanie Digital Blind Spots, organizowane z myślą o liderach technologii z różnych branż. Będziemy rozmawiać o doświadczeniach i wyzwaniach związanym z monitorowaniem, zabezpieczaniem i optymalizacją ekosystemów technologicznych.

Cloud Revisited - CIONET Belgium: Community Event
Cloud computing was hailed as the game-changing solution to modern business challenges—transforming how organisations operate, scale, and innovate. But as the technology matures, it’s time to take a step back and ask: Has cloud truly lived up to the hype, or are we overlooking its deeper complexities and hidden costs?In this critical reflection, we’ll revisit the core promises of cloud—such as enabling product-oriented organisations, facilitating End-to-End accountability, managing vast data volumes, and mitigating obsolescence. But we’ll also challenge the narrative: Are companies really freeing themselves to focus on innovation, or are they becoming dependent on cloud providers in ways that could limit future flexibility? How does the cloud reshape operating models, and are we prepared for the long-term consequences of handing over infrastructure control?

La dette technique est comparable à la négligence des réparations d'une maison.

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.

The Future of Work in the Age of AI
Con l’AI e l’automazione che ridefiniscono i settori, anche il modo in cui lavoriamo, apprendiamo e cresciamo sta cambiando. Questo evento esplora a fondo il panorama in evoluzione della forza lavoro, concentrandosi su come l’AI possa potenziare i dipendenti piuttosto che sostituirli. Approfondiremo le strategie per migliorare e aggiornare le competenze dei dipendenti, promuovere una cultura dell’innovazione e sfruttare la potenza dell’AI per aumentare produttività e soddisfazione sul lavoro. Affrontando le implicazioni etiche dell’IA sul posto di lavoro ed esplorando il potenziale della collaborazione tra uomo e AI, puntiamo a fornire alle organizzazioni strumenti per navigare nelle complessità dell’era dell’AI e affermarsi come leader nell’era digitale.

Next Generation Digital Twins - CIONET Belgium: Community Event
Imagine being able to monitor, simulate, and optimise an entire city, factory, or supply chain in real time. Next-generation digital twins are making this vision a reality, transforming how we manage and understand complex systems. By creating dynamic virtual replicas of physical assets and processes, digital twins allow organisations to predict issues, optimize performance, and make data-driven decisions with unprecedented accuracy.This event will explore how digital twins are being used across industries to revolutionize the way we operate and maintain large-scale, intricate systems—whether it’s the infrastructure of a smart city, the efficiency of a factory floor, or the resilience of global supply chains.Examples of Digital Twins in Action:Smart Cities: Urban planners can use digital twins to simulate traffic flow, monitor energy usage, or predict the impact of weather events on infrastructure. This enables cities to optimize resources and improve the quality of life for their citizens.Factories of the Future: Manufacturing plants are leveraging digital twins to monitor equipment in real time, prevent downtime, and optimize production lines. With predictive analytics, factories can avoid costly breakdowns and improve overall efficiency.Supply Chain Management: Complex supply chains, spanning continents and industries, can be modeled as digital twins to track shipments, simulate disruptions, and optimize logistics. Businesses can reduce inefficiencies and respond faster to market demands.Key Themes:Real-Time Monitoring and Simulation: How digital twins provide real-time insights into complex systems, allowing for dynamic response and optimization.Predictive Power: Leveraging AI and data analytics, digital twins help organisations predict and mitigate issues before they happen, from equipment failures to supply chain bottlenecks.Scalability Across Ecosystems: Digital twins aren’t limited to individual assets—learn how they can be scaled across entire ecosystems like smart cities or global supply chains for maximum impact.Building Trust and Security: With digital twins handling critical infrastructure and sensitive data, what are the security and governance frameworks needed to ensure trust in these virtual systems?Why You Should Attend:Next-generation digital twins are no longer just a concept—they are revolutionizing industries by offering a new way to manage complexity. Whether you’re looking to optimize a city, factory, or supply chain, this event will provide practical insights into how digital twins can transform your organisation’s operations and drive future innovation.
