Sponsored by: HID Global
Presented by: Shalin Jyotishi, Senior Program Manager, Burning Glass Institute;

More security tools can’t help your business if your overwrought SOC staff is
too busy to look at every alert. They can’t patch all the vulnerabilities or
investigate all the potential incidents without help. In this session, learn how
security automation can soothe your security team and improve your defenses at
the same time.

MOVE OVER RPA – ARE YOU READY FOR RDA?

Sponsored by: Automox
Presented by: Sidney M. Prescott, Global Head of Intelligent Automation, Spotify
View Abstract

According to a recent survey, over 85% of IT leaders want to leverage data
automation technologies – and just under 4% of them are actually doing it.
Robotic data automation (RDA) is similar to its grandparent, robotic process
automation (RPA), allowing leaders to streamline and automate their data
pipelines. This keynote will offer a playbook for integrating RDA into your
current robotic automation plans and build out the most robust data intelligence
strategy with the least amount of friction for your team.

STRATEGIES FOR ADOPTING IT AUTOMATION ACROSS YOUR ORGANIZATION

Sponsored by: Red Hat
Presented by: Walter Bentley, Senior Manager, Automation Practice, & Kaete
Piccirilli, Director, Ansible Automation Product Marketing, Products &
Technologies, Red Hat
View Abstract

A recent Harvard Business Review Analytic Services survey highlights the
importance of IT automation: 80% of respondents say adopting IT automation is
“extremely important” or “very important” to the future success of their
organization. However, only 34% of respondents say that IT leaders are actually
embracing that role¹.

As companies strive to become more agile and digitize their operations, IT
automation has evolved into a business imperative and has become a critical
element in digital transformation. IT leaders must not focus solely on technical
matters like selecting the right technology. They should also become evangelists
by developing a strategic vision for IT automation and serving as a proponent of
culture change to overcome the resistance present at many organizations today.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

 * How Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform supports your digital
   transformation
 * Understand how organizational change and culture impact the advancement of IT
   automation.
 * Identify top priorities and define the roles IT leaders should play to
   advance IT automation

THE INTENT FOR AUTOMATION: SIX WAYS AI IS A GAMECHANGER

Moderated by: Dana Gardner
Panelists: Sean Michael Kerner, Internet Consultant, Results Overhead Inc.;
Klaus Haller, Senior Security Architect, AXA, Rebecca Herold, CEO & Co-Founder,
Privacy & Security Brainiacs
View Abstract

While enterprises have enjoyed the streamlined workload reconfiguration from IoT
and enhanced edge applications, the manual programming behind those initiatives
can often be a bit primitive, leaving the custodians scratching their heads and
wondering, “What was this programmer thinking?”

In this panel, we’ll take a look at intent-driven networking that’s using AI and
machine learning to mold and build the system as it evolves, using the original
intention as a heartbeat rather than an afterthought. We’ll look at ways you can
start implementing those strategies right now and talk through a few case
studies of organizations who have realized bigger and better efficiencies.
