In this session, we unravel the evolution of operations in technology departments with emphasis on cybersecurity. We begin by addressing the inefficiencies of traditional operating models, which often created vulnerabilities and security gaps. Transitioning to the DevSecOps era, we'll showcase evidence of how tighter integration between development and operations not only improved efficiency but also enhanced security.

The focus then shifts to platform engineering, the latest operating model strategy that is revolutionizing businesses through developer-centric platforms that are self-service, scalable and have security built-in. We'll present use cases illustrating how platform engineering not only streamlines operations but also fortifies them against cyber threats. This approach has been associated with robust security frameworks, improved compliance, and a proactive stance on threat mitigation. 

Tailored for leaders with an interest in efficiency of technology teams, this session underscores the critical role platform engineering can play in safeguarding digital assets while propelling business innovation and gaining competitive advantage.

This session centers on the increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI), specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), in the cybersecurity landscape. The talk highlights three primary challenges within cybersecurity: (1) Subversion (2) Scope (3) Skills which are exacerbated in hybrid environments that incorporate cloud infrastructure alongside existing systems and positions LLMs as a potential solution to these challenges.

In step with the rapid progress of the digital revolution, companies are facing new challenges. A new assessment of the development of the infrastructure is required against the background of changed conditions and risks in cyber security. Strategies for telecommuting, network and application security must be reassessed to facilitate secure digital expansion. Strengthening the protection of IT and OT environments is critical, especially as cybercriminals become increasingly sophisticated in their methods. In cybersecurity, several key trends have emerged in response to change such as consolidation, convergence, automation, and of course Artificial Intelligence.
