Organisations fear the loss of control over their data when migrating to cloud. The biggest challenge encountered when moving the database from traditional servers to cloud is to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive data. Cloud not only enhances data security but acts as a tool to save space,
time, power and money.
The emergence of social, mobile, cloud, big data and analytics are fundamentally changing how we live, work and interact.
Mobile devices are ubiquitous. Changing consumer behaviors, supplanting PCs, generating massive amounts of data and putting new demands on the enterprise to not only support these devices but to adjust the way they do business.
Social technologies are changing the way we interact, communicate and share information – equally generating vast amounts of data and impacting business as they try to unlock the full potential social has to offer.
Cloud technologies bring new scale and efficiency to service delivery and enable more agile ways of doing business and drive business model innovation. For companies, It also brings information and applications to people at the right time and place.
All of these trends are fueling an explosion of data. Not only do enterprises need to store, manage and secure this data, they also need to derive meaningful insight from these vast amounts of data. Data is the basis of significant opportunity and a source of competitive advantage for all organizations. Data is a new economic asset, the next natural resource.
These trends are spawning new workloads, business processes and technology deployments that are putting unprecedented demands on our IT environments.

Cloud Changed The Way Technology is ConsumedAutotask
Clients increasingly buy solutions as a service, to grow their businesses, innovate and optimize their cost structures. Clients look to service providers to run (their) applications in the cloud and reduce the day-to-day responsibility of keeping their IT infrastructures up and running. As a result, traditional IT-partners’ skills and service delivery capabilities must transform. This session will provide real insights and examples of how you can capture the cloud opportunity - one that is expected to be worth $75 billion by 2015.

Benefits of Operating an On-Premises InfrastructureRebekah Rodriguez
Despite the rapid evolution and growth of public cloud usage, enterprises are finding value in on-premises IT infrastructure. As a result, some organizations are moving their workloads back, partially or entirely, to their own data centers. In fact, according to a survey conducted by IDC, over ½ of the IT spent on servers and storage is still driven by on-prem deployments, and over 70% of those surveyed said they plan to repatriate workloads back from public cloud to an On-Prem Infrastructure.

Überall dort, wo ein Internetanschluss vorhanden ist, gibt es auch ein Risiko. Unabhängig davon, ob sie gross oder klein, öffentlich oder privat ist – fast jede Organisation ist der Gefahr möglicher Schäden durch eine Cyberattacke ausgesetzt. Die meisten von uns werden denken: «Aber die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist doch recht gering.» Tatsächlich ist die Gefahr jedoch sehr real. Umfang und Raffinesse schädlicher Cyberaktivitäten haben erheblich zugenommen, und die Kosten einer Cyberattacke können eine Grössenordnung von Milliarden von US-Dollars erreichen. Wenn das Cyberrisiko nicht aktiv von allen Beteiligten (Unternehmen, Versicherungsträgern, Regierungen und Aufsichtsbehörden) angepackt wird, werden die finanziellen Auswirkungen auf Organisationen weiterhin signifikant sein.
Wir werden eine Einführung in die Versicherungslösungen geben, die derzeit zur Deckung von Risikoexponierungen, die mit dem Cyberspace zusammenhängen, angeboten werden. Wir werden die Herausforderungen skizzieren, mit denen die Versicherungswirtschaft heute angesichts der sich ständig wandelnden Cyberrisikoumgebung konfrontiert wird. Wir werden einige auch in den Medien aufgegriffene Fälle und die Auswirkungen präsentieren, die sie auf eine Versicherungspolice haben. Wir wollen einen Überblick über die derzeitige Zusammenarbeit zwischen IBM und Swiss Re Corporate Solutions geben und die Frage beantworten, wie wir die Zukunft der Cyberversicherung gestalten wollen.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
