As we look toward 2030, enterprise networking is evolving toward fully autonomous data exchange, driven by intelligent, context-aware Agentic AI controllers. This forward-looking panel will explore how self-learning networks will integrate seamlessly with cloud infrastructure and quantum computing, reshaping the foundations of IT architectures and operations. Expert CTOs and Chief IT Architects will discuss strategic imperatives for organizations preparing to embrace this new era of adaptive infrastructure, highlighting the critical technological innovations, governance frameworks, and skills development required to lead in the next decade of…
As AI workloads explode across enterprises, networks designed for small, random, short-lived flows are being overwhelmed by the reality of modern AI traffic — massive, synchronized, long-lived flows that saturate links and expose the fragility of static architectures. Recent data shows that AI traffic is not just heavier, but fundamentally different: predominantly multicast or all-to-all, hypersensitive to latency, and able to turn traditional switch oversubscription and ECMP balancing into bottlenecks. This panel will examine why the industry’s traditional best-effort, entropy-dependent designs can’t support AI’s unforgiving…
As organizations shift towards autonomous, agent-driven architectures, the proliferation of independent AI agents fundamentally alters the cybersecurity landscape. This panel session explores how the rise of Agentic AI amplifies and reshapes enterprise security threats, moving beyond traditional perimeter defenses to dynamic, real-time protection strategies. Industry-leading experts will discuss critical challenges such as maintaining Zero Trust architectures when autonomous agents dynamically reconfigure networks, ensuring continuous compliance and governance, and preventing adversarial manipulation of AI-driven decision-making.
As cyber threats grow in scale and sophistication, Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are evolving into intelligent, autonomous systems. This panel explores the emergence of AI-driven, agentic SOCs—as envisioned in ONUG’s Security & Governance pillar—that can proactively detect, analyze, and respond to threats with minimal human intervention. Panelists will showcase early implementations of these next-gen SOCs and discuss the real-world feasibility of AI-based threat hunting, incident response orchestration, and security policy automation. The session will also address critical governance challenges, including how to build trust in…
In the era of artificial intelligence (AI), the ability to move vast quantities of data efficiently and securely is paramount. Consequently, the question of how to move data becomes a strategic one for network architects, who must carefully plan this movement and placement to optimize for performance, cost, and regulatory considerations. In this session we explore how Riverbed Technology, with its long-standing expertise in network acceleration and resilient networking, is at the forefront of this transformation for AI data movement.
All industries are embracing AI. This keynote address will address problems and solutions in the rapid acceleration of new technologies.
The enterprise network was designed for a world that no longer exists—a world of static branches, centralized apps, and rigid perimeters. But in the age of AI and hybrid work, organizations are reimagining how people, devices, and data connect. In this keynote, Jay Chaudhry, Founder and CEO of Zscaler, will explore how leading enterprises are replacing outdated network and security models with agile, cloud-native zero trust architectures that enable “café-like” branch experiences—simple, fast, secure, and cost-efficient. Drawing on real-world transformation stories, Jay will outline how…
Berta Rodriguez-Hervas, Pfizer’s Chief AI & Analytics Officer, brings a rare blend of technical depth and strategic clarity to the challenge of enterprise-wide AI adoption. Drawing from leadership roles at Pfizer, Stellantis, NVIDIA, and Tesla, she will share how agentic AI systems, grounded in governance and human intent, are transforming everything from drug discovery to infrastructure. This keynote offers a masterclass in scaling AI with purpose—where measurable outcomes, ethical guardrails, and real-world impact converge.
