Online: Holistik in der Integration

In der Tech-Industrie ist Wandel die einzige Konstante – Themen kommen und gehen im Zwei-Wochen-Takt. Auch Enterprises merken das: Die Innovationszyklen sind schneller, der Druck zur Umsetzung höher. Generative KI ist inzwischen überall angekommen – sei es in Produkten, Prozessen oder mindestens als smarter Bot im Kundenservice. Doch nach der anfänglichen Begeisterung beginnt nun die Phase der Realität: Intelligenz im Enterprise braucht mehr als gute Ideen – es braucht Governance, Datenqualität und Wartung.

EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE Ransomware: Sprawdź swoją gotowość w ćwiczeniach CIONET

Co zrobić, gdy Twoja firma stanie się celem ataku ransomware? Sprawdź to bez ryzyka podczas ćwiczenia na spotkaniu CIONET Roundtable. Najpierw zasymulujemy atak, przetestujemy swoje reakcje, a potem wspólnie omówimy wyniki i wskażemy najskuteczniejsze rekomendacje w walce z ransomware. Podczas ćwiczenia wcielisz się w rolę osoby decyzyjnej w firmie sparaliżowanej przez atak. Systemy przestają działać, dostęp do danych jest zablokowany, telefony milkną. Masz kilka godzin na reakcję — albo uratujesz firmę, albo stracisz wszystko. Scenariusz został przygotowany na podstawie prawdziwych ataków we współpracy z partnerem spotkania, firmą Commvault. Potem we wspólnej dyskusji przeanalizujemy decyzje, które zapadły w trakcie symulacji. Co zadziałało, co zawiodło, a co zostało pominięte? Bez owijania w bawełnę – rozmawiamy o realnych zagrożeniach i o tym, jak skutecznie się na nie przygotować. W dyskusji omówimy: Jak rozpoznać, że atak już się rozpoczął? Gdzie najczęściej zawodzą plany Disaster Recovery? Czy prowadzić rozmowy z napastnikami? Jak zorganizować komunikację wewnętrzną podczas incydentu? Co powinien zawierać praktyczny plan przywrócenia ciągłości?

EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE: RANSOMWARE: JESTEŚ CELEM. CO ZROBISZ GDY JUŻ ZAATAKUJĄ?

Phishing, boczne wejścia, eskalacja uprawnień, unieruchomienie backupów, szyfrowanie danych i żądanie okupu – tak dziś działa większość ataków ransomware. Pytanie nie brzmi, czy Cię zaatakują, tylko kiedy i co będziesz mógł wtedy zrobić. Podczas spotkania CIONET Executive Roundtable zmierzymy się z trzema najważniejszymi pytaniami: Jak działają grupy przestępcze? Poznasz realne scenariusze ataku ransomware: krok po kroku, od rozpoznania po żądanie okupu. Jak się zabezpieczyć?Nie tylko firewalle i antywirusy – porozmawiamy o tym, jak projektować systemy, które wytrzymają atak i pozwolą na skuteczne odzyskanie działania. Co robić, gdy atak już trwa? Zaskakująco wiele błędów popełnia się w trakcie i po ataku. Zamiast paniki – plan: kogo zaangażować, jak komunikować się wewnętrznie (i na zewnątrz), kiedy płacić (a kiedy nie) i jak wrócić do działania. Naszym partnerem w przygotowaniu spotkania jest firma Veeam. Będzie ją reprezentować Gianluca Mazzotta, Vice President Pre-Sales, EMEA, który podzieli się doświadczeniami z realnych incydentów i wskaże, jak firmy rzeczywiście wzmacniają odporność na poziomie danych i backupu.

The $400B Downtime Equation

Nel mondo iperconnesso di oggi, dove l’innovazione corre più veloce che mai, ogni secondo conta. E quando arriva il downtime, l’impatto è immediato: business interrotto, clienti persi, fiducia in bilico. Oggi il downtime non è solo una questione tecnica: è un rischio strategico, una delle sfide più critiche da affrontare. Può minacciare la reputazione delle nostre organizzazioni, attirare l’attenzione dei regolatori, influenzare i mercati, compromettere risultati e crescita. I numeri parlano chiaro e offrono spunti impressionanti: Il 78% delle organizzazioni accetta consapevolmente il rischio di downtime pur di adottare nuove tecnologie. Il 74% dei leader tech afferma che il downtime ritarda il time-to-market. Le 2.000 aziende più grandi al mondo perdono ogni anno fino a 400 miliardi di dollari a causa di downtime non pianificati. Come si può allora innovare senza compromettere la resilienza?Questa VIP Dinner è pensata per spostare la conversazione dalle soluzioni prodotto a una riflessione più ampia sulle implicazioni del downtime. Discuteremo insieme trovare il giusto equilibrio tra spinta all’innovazione e capacità di resilienza. Ad aprire la serata saranno Francesco Tondi, Managing Director di CIONET Italia, e Gian Marco Pizzuti, Country Manager di Splunk, che daranno il via a un confronto peer-to-peer: un dialogo aperto tra executive, CIO, CISO, dove condividere esperienze, visioni e strategie concrete per: Ridurre i rischi operativi Allineare i team Costruire una resilienza digitale intelligente e sostenibile Esploreremo le strategie p

W dobie coraz głębszej integracji systemów IT i OT wiele firm staje przed strategicznym wyzwaniem: jak zapewnić bezpieczeństwo procesów operacyjnych bez hamowania innowacji i rozwoju? Niska dojrzałość programów cyberbezpieczeństwa OT, brak segmentacji sieci i ograniczone zarządzanie aktywami sprawiają, że przedsiębiorstwa są narażone nie tylko na zagrożenia techniczne, ale też na ryzyka biznesowe — przestoje, straty finansowe i utratę reputacji. Podczas dyskusji CIONET Roundtable omówimy realne dylematy zarządcze dotyczące odpowiedzialności za bezpieczeństwo w środowiskach OT i punktach styku z IT. Rafał Gąska, dyrektor ds. łańcucha dostaw RTV Euro AGD, podzieli się praktycznymi doświadczeniami w integrowaniu bezpieczeństwa OT z celami operacyjnymi i biznesowymi. Poruszymy tematy: Kto odpowiada za cyberbezpieczeństwo OT w strukturze organizacyjnej? Jak zarządzać ryzykiem w środowiskach hybrydowych IT/OT? Jakie są dobre praktyki segmentacji sieci i monitoringu OT? Wyzwania w zarządzaniu aktywami OT i ich wpływ na ciągłość działania.

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. 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.

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.
