AI-Driven IT Efficiency: Unleashing the Power of Savings and Productivity

In this session, we embark on a journey into the realm of IT efficiency and cost savings, powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). While IT departments are expected to grow this year, it doesn’t mean they need to spend more.

Freshworks’ recent survey has unveiled a groundbreaking opportunity: companies in the U.S. can potentially save over $15,000 per IT employee annually by harnessing AI to eliminate repetitive tasks. For large enterprises, this translates to potential savings exceeding $3 million each year. Join us for this keynote session and unlock the limitless potential of AI to revolutionize IT efficiency, elevate productivity, and pave the way for substantial cost savings. It’s time to reimagine the future of your IT department!

AI and Cybersecurity: Speed Bumps, Training, and Communication

If you are hesitant to embrace AI tools because of cybersecurity concerns, don’t miss this illuminating presentation from Dennis Legori who will explain why the risk of not using AI is greater than the risk of using it. What guardrails should you have in place to ensure AI is used for good and not creating unnecessary risk? How should you be thinking about completing a privacy impact analysis and risk assessment as your use of AI tools evolves? How can security leaders add speed bumps and education to provide caution and risk mitigation as needed? Dennis will share his perspective around these and other important issues you need to consider as you widely adopt AI tools in your organization.
