Agentic Networking is the next evolution of cloud and network operations, where intelligent, autonomous agents – powered by LLMs, real-time telemetry, and policy-driven intent – continuously observe, decide, and act across complex, multi-cloud environments. Instead of manually tuning networks or relying solely on static automation, agentic systems interpret high-level business intents (minimize latency for this workload, shift traffic for cost efficiency, isolate anomalies before impact), translate them into actionable network changes, and coordinate with other agents to optimize end-to-end performance. This creates a self-healing, self-optimizing…
This session examines quantum-safe networking as an emerging approach to strengthening security for high-bandwidth connections across large-scale enterprise data center environments. We will define key concepts in quantum-safe networking – including the role of quantum phenomena such as entanglement in supporting secure, tamper-evident communications over fiber infrastructure and hybrid solutions. With cyber risk increasing and AI workloads driving demand for large-scale data movement, the discussion will explore where conventional cryptographic approaches face operational and lifecycle challenges on high-speed links, and how quantum-safe architectures may complement…
This session explores the growing risk posed by quantum-enabled decryption, referred to as Q-Day, the point at which sufficiently powerful quantum computers could undermine widely used public-key cryptosystems. Attendees will examine what this shift means for today’s networks, including the “harvest now, decrypt later” risks and the operational impact of large-scale cryptographic compromise. The discussion will also look at quantum technologies as part of a forward-looking security strategy. Panelists will discuss where these approaches are most relevant, how they can complement broader migration efforts, and…
The 2026 conversation is often framed as “tokens forever” versus “build private AI.” This Keynote challenges that default framing. For many enterprises, the highest-performing and most cost-effective path is staying on the latest hyperscaler frontier reasoning models (OpenAI / Anthropic / Google) while making your company data radically usable as context (retrieval, permissions, provenance, evals, and workflow orchestration). Gilmer Valdes will unpack why rolling your own (especially with smaller/open models) can be a false economy once you include: ongoing model quality drift, safety and compliance…
As enterprise networks become more critical — and more complex — the limits of traditional network performance monitoring are increasingly exposed. In today’s AI-driven digital environment, networks remain one of the most static and risk-averse layers of infrastructure, even as business demands for agility, resilience, and real-time insight continue to rise. Join IDC’s Mark Leary for a data-driven look at how the bar for network observability has been raised — and what IT leaders and suppliers must do to meet the moment
In this keynote, Michael Milligan, CISO of FedEx Freight, spin-off from FedEx Corporation, shares how FedEx Freight is rapidly scaling AI consumption while implementing the necessary governance, risk, and security guardrails in place from day one and moving forward. Joining Michael will be Corey Allert, Managing Director of Security Engineering and together they will outline how FedEx Freight aligns AI security, data, and infrastructure architectures to accelerate time-to-value without introducing unacceptable risk. The session offers a practical blueprint for enterprises looking to move fast with…
This session brings together Tom Gillis (Cisco), Kevin Deierling (NVIDIA), and Mike Taylor (WWT) to present a collaborative approach to building hybrid AI infrastructure that balances public AI services with private model deployment. As AI technology, economics, and governance rapidly evolve in unpredictable ways, the panel will discuss the need for an Enterprise AI Fabric that delivers long-term flexibility and choice. Moderated by Nick Lippis, the session will explore how aligned architectures, data strategies, and operational models can create secure, high-performance environments adaptable to changing…
