Today's threat landscape is as volatile and disruptive as ever. From e-crime and nation state threats to ever changing regulations and geo political conditions — not to mention the evolving threat of AI on top of it all — defending against adversaries is a 24/7/365 affair and no organization can afford to maintain the status quo. To help you combat those challenges, we've assembled an all-star panel of WWT security experts to address pressing issues, such as protecting data, creating governance and policy and securing the cloud and AI and tool consolidation and rationalization. Their discussion will help you and your security team get back to the basics and become more business relevant, and provide you a deeper understanding of how you can create a long-term security strategy that is resilient and robust. Editor's Note: This Briefing is a pre-recorded session from WWT's Customer Technical Advisory Board earlier this year.

The conversation around generative AI in the enterprise has rapidly shifted from curiosity to necessity to practicality. How can your business adopt AI quickly and securely? What are the operational implications of generative AI and the high-performance infrastructure needed to make it work? How can AI scale to support the needs of your business? Join WWT Managing Director of AI and Machine Learning Tim Brooks as he outlines a practical framework for building an AI ecosystem, details technical considerations to build a high-performance architecture stack for scaling AI and poses eight key questions that determine readiness for practical AI solutions. Editor's Note: This Briefing is a pre-recorded session from WWT's Customer Technical Advisory Board earlier this year.

A converged optical and packet architecture is compelling for multiple reasons, including network cost reductions, network architecture simplification, and operational efficiency.  Join WWT Technical Solutions Architect Tyler Tappy as he discusses the benefits and potential drawbacks of a converged architecture. Tyler also provides a detailed look at the available platforms and the optical and routing technologies involved, reviews reference architectures and explores ways this architecture can support your company's technical and business goals.

Wi-Fi has established itself as a de facto utility for many businesses and its employees. Without it, we're not quite sure how to work or collaborate. Join Jennifer Huber, a Technical Solutions Architect at WWT, as she talks about the current wifi networking landscape — from vendors and trends to use cases and outlook. Jennifer also talks about growing role machine learning and artificial intelligence will play in making networks more reliable and efficient.

The rise of cloud, edge computing and workforce mobility means data, devices, machines, applications and services are used both inside and outside the traditional enterprise premises. It's also placing immense pressure on traditional network architectures, which struggle to meet today's security and risk management requirements. Join Mark Ibrahim, a technical solutions architect at WWT, as he talks about how security and risk management leaders can use cloud-delivered secure access service edge (SASE) to address this shift. Mark explains why SASE is ideal for companies that need to support a work-from-anywhere (WFA) workforce and is essential for organizations undergoing rapid transformation.

The incredible popularity of generative AI and ChatGPT is forcing technology leaders to take notice and understand its role in enterprise IT. What is it? How is it made? What are its use cases? And what are its limitations?   Join WWT data scientists Ankur Gupta, Achal Sharma and Aditya Prabhakaron as they go under the hood of ChatGPT and talk about the technology behind the scenes of Chat GPT and how large language models are poised to make an impact on how we do business.

Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT stand to fundamentally shift the way software developers work and dramatically increase output. In fact, the technology has the potential to make anyone with an idea into a coder. But what guardrails and best practices should IT leaders and engineers be implementing so as to not jeopardize the business? Join WWT's Eric Jones, David Lowe and Kevyn Gandaho as they dive into how they've begun to build a framework for generative AI development that focuses on four key pillars: security, responsibility, accountability and rigorous experimentation. They'll also provide live demos of apps that can be built on top of large language models (LLMs) and how tools like ChatGPT can help accelerate development work in the future.

Once deemed a science project, IoT is now leveraged and leaned on by a broad array of organizations to provide critical insight into processes that may not be well known. But to get the most out of your IoT strategy, you need to unify data sets, drive data clarity and seamlessly observe where data sits and what it's doing. Join WWT Principal Solutions Architect Chandler Heath as he breaks down the current state of IoT, the trends and technologies that will drive your IoT strategy forward, and three ways you can align IoT initiatives to tangible, measurable business outcomes.

Dive into the benefits and intricacies of private cloud, software-defined data centers and virtualization. During this event, James Harless, WWT Principal Solutions Architect, discusses how using private cloud as an operating model can empower lines of business to consume services while adhering to a shared responsibility model that optimizes cost, drives scalability and enables customization options to foster a more service-oriented IT organization.
