AI is accelerating innovation while transforming cybersecurity for both defenders and attackers. Join peers for a focused roundtable discussion on navigating the complexity and pace of security through an AI lens. How can organizations capture the benefits of AI while staying resilient in an increasingly complex environment

In an era defined by rapid market shifts and increasing uncertainty, digital sovereignty powered by open source, is no longer just a technical consideration, but a leadership topic. This roundtable invites IT decision-makers into an open dialogue on how to reduce proprietary lock-in, embrace transparent innovation, and strengthen operational resilience. Through shared experiences and perspectives, we will explore how organizations can gain the flexibility to pivot, scale, and secure their infrastructure, turning digital sovereignty into a strategic asset rather than a vulnerability.

As data environments expand across cloud, on-prem, hybrid, SaaS, analytics platforms, and emerging AI implementations, many organisations lack continuous visibility into where sensitive data resides, how it is accessed, and where it may be exposed. Without a mature Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) capability, security and governance frameworks struggle to keep pace, leaving gaps in oversight, accountability, and risk management. In this context, innovation can quickly outpace control, increasing regulatory exposure, operational vulnerability, and board-level concern.

More and more solutions are being built outside the IT department. That brings speed and innovation, but also the risk of silos, security issues and lack of coordination. In this roundtable, we will discuss how IT decision-makers can create the right frameworks so business teams can build safely and effectively. We will also explore how to turn enterprise data into new business models and revenue streams. Join fellow IT leaders for an open conversation about how IT can move from support function to co-driver of business value.

Most IT organizations still manage network, compute, storage, and security in separate silos, adding complexity and vendor sprawl. But AI and automation are changing the game, letting these technologies run as one unified, self-optimizing system instead of a patchwork. What would that shift mean for how we make decisions, structure our IT teams, and deliver new value to the business? Let’s explore how IT decision-makers can move from stitching systems together to orchestrating them by design and how a unified approach could free teams to drive innovation.

This roundtable brings IT decision-makers together for an open discussion on how to strengthen resilience, governance, and digital sovereignty in response to growing uncertainty. With perspectives on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), we will explore how a more consistent IT foundation can help organizations increase control, reduce operational complexity, and create greater flexibility in how critical services are delivered. Through peer dialogue and shared experiences, the session will focus on practical choices, trade-offs, and lessons learned to support both near-term delivery and long-term growth.
