Join us for a hands-on look at Linux Foundations, a learning path that takes you from core Linux fundamentals to confident system administration. In this session, you'll explore how Linux is structured, get comfortable at the command line, and see how engineers manage users, permissions, processes, and storage in real environments. We'll also touch on hardening systems against attacks and automating routine work with shell scripts, giving you a practical view of the core skills every entry-level engineer needs to run Linux systems.

Shadow AI is putting sensitive company data at risk, often without anyone realizing it until it's too late. In this hands-on workshop, you'll step into the role of a security investigator working a real insider threat scenario. Using Microsoft's integrated security suite, you'll uncover unsanctioned generative AI tools running under the radar, trace unauthorized data uploads back to specific users and IP addresses, and follow the evidence trail across three connected Microsoft platforms. You'll trigger and interpret data loss prevention alerts in Microsoft Purview, examine sensitive information matches, and ultimately pinpoint the exact device tied to the user at the center of the investigation using Microsoft Intune. This is a practical, investigation-style look at how Defender for Cloud Apps, Purview, and Intune work together to close the visibility gap that shadow AI creates.

Every LLM call comes with a cost — in dollars, in milliseconds, and in rate-limit headroom. Most applications default to a single model for everything, and that works until it doesn't: costs spike, latency climbs on simple requests, and a single model outage can take down the whole application. In this session, we'll introduce LLM routing — turning model selection from a hard-coded choice into a runtime decision, so a quick lookup goes to a general-purpose model, a deep analytical question goes to a reasoning model, and a debugging request goes to a coding model, with automatic retries across tiers if one fails. Join us for a hands-on walkthrough of the concepts and a live look at configuring a router to put these ideas into practice.

Critical infrastructure organizations are under increasing pressure to modernize operations, improve resilience, and reduce complexity across mission-critical environments. Join WWT and IBM for a virtual discussion on how automation can help teams streamline operations, strengthen reliability and respond faster to changing business and technology demands. During this session, experts from WWT and IBM will discuss common challenges facing critical infrastructure teams and share practical perspectives on how automation can support more secure, scalable and efficient operations. Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of where automation can create value and how to begin translating strategy into execution.
