Let's learn together at the CIO CISO Virtual Summit on Oct 1 @ 1pm ET.

Private 5G

Private 5G Manufacturing Use-Cases

To address manufacturing’s need for reduced operations costs, agile retooling, predictive maintenance, and support for Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs),?Celona ?Pradhyum Ramkumar ?describes how private 5G provides seamless roaming, large-scale coverage, and guaranteed quality of service.

Incorporating #ZeroTrust principles in Native 5G Cybersecurity Defense

Palo Alto Networks Mitch Rappard? describes the need to protect the core and the opportunity to leverage mobile identifiers to implement device-level #ZeroTrust. With increased granular control, enterprises can remove implicit trust.

Cybersecurity

Netskope Michael Ferguson discusses the need for increasing cybersecurity agility to protect against threats from trusted apps (e.g. personal instances of authorized apps such as OneDrive). Consider the impact of the cybersecurity posture on the employee experience! A poor cyber experience encourages employees to pursue workarounds (which undermines the enterprise's cyber posture) and drives turnover.

AIOps

Fundamentals of API Design and Integration

Hughes Karthik Ganesuni describes principles of API design:

• Simplify the complexity of solution-specific APIs through common abstraction layer
• API usability correlates to “adoptability.”? APIs should be developer-friendly, support new features, and be easy to maintain. Otherwise, they won’t be used.
• Efficient design saves labor costs and creates product momentum
• Visualization of normalized data enables macro-level analysis for effective triage.

Digital Media

As digital signage directly engages with customers, there's an indirect impact on employees who, through routine exposure to branded messaging, master product positioning and are constantly informed about new promotions. ?

Risk Management & Compliance

The EU AI Act is now in effect, and US AI developers must consider how they will comply.?There are phased requirements: High Risk (24 months), #GenAI (12 months), and prohibited (6 months). Fines range up to $8M - $38M. Defined stakeholders roles include Providers, Deployers, Distributors, Importers, Product Manufacturers, and Operators. There are compliance requirements for Data Quality, Documentation & Traceability, Transparency, Human Oversight, Accuracy, Cybersecurity, Conformity Assessments, and Registration.

Key issues to also consider include:

- Role of Privacy

- Identification of Compliance Best Practices

Alan Thiemann, principal at Conley Rose, will present at the Virtual CIO CISO Summit on October 3, 2024. He has prepared a detailed summary.?Please let me know if you are interested in this document or the Virtual CIO CISO Summit.
