A crisis of digital identity: when cybercriminals just Log In - Roma

L’identità digitale ha cessato di essere un semplice servizio dell’accesso per consolidarsi come il perimetro di sicurezza delle organizzazioni moderne. A livello globale la violazione d’identità è al centro dell'80% degli attacchi: gli attori malevoli non cercano più di forzare le difese perimetrali, ma si autenticano utilizzando credenziali legittime sottratte, bypassando i sistemi tradizionali di difesa perimetrale.

EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE: AI PRZEJMUJE STERY W IT. JAK ZWIĘKSZYĆ AUTONOMIĘ BEZ UTRATY KONTROLI?

W usługach finansowych każda minuta niedostępności ma swoją cenę. Złożoność aplikacji, infrastruktury i zależności między chmurami coraz bardziej utrudnia szybkie znalezienie przyczyny awarii. Agenci AI mogą rozpoznawać pierwsze sygnały problemów i podejmować działania, zanim dojdzie do przerwy w działaniu usług. Ale samodzielność, która przyspiesza naprawę, może też spotęgować skutki błędnej decyzji. Zapraszamy na CIONET Executive Roundtable przygotowany wspólnie z firmą Endava, poświęcony autonomii w utrzymaniu usług IT. Porozmawiamy o tym, jak połączyć pracę zespołów inżynierskich i agentów AI, by zapobiegać awariom, szybciej przywracać działanie usług i ograniczać rutynową pracę. Przyjrzymy się granicom samodzielności agentów w instytucjach finansowych: od rekomendowania zmian po ich wykonanie, z jasno określoną odpowiedzialnością i nadzorem człowieka. Wspólnie przedyskutujemy: Od czego zacząć wykorzystanie agentów? Które zadania warto im powierzyć i co wcześniej uporządkować w danych, procedurach i odpowiedzialności? Gdzie autonomia AI może przynieść największą poprawę dostępności usług i efektywności operacyjnej? Które decyzje i działania można powierzyć agentom, a które wymagają zgody człowieka? Jak zapewnić rozliczalność działań agentów oraz możliwość ich zatrzymania i wycofania zmian? Co musi się zmienić w kompetencjach, procesach i podziale odpowiedzialności, by wyjść poza pilotaż?

cookbook

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. Their secret? Synchronising the gearing between customer, business, and technology to create a frictionless movement through the digital landscape.

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.
