INSIGHT
Upcoming Session
Session 1: AI in IT & OT / Critical Infrastructure
Meta / Disney / Netflix - pushing the SHIFT
Shift sponsored by Etherwan is bringing together a small group of thought leaders for industry changing conversation. End users and industry leaders seated together for the first time, with meaningful dialogue, challenging each other, and learning from each other. This is where innovation meets direction.Â
Legacy infrastructure is the silent killer of enterprise defense—it's time to build networking that moves as fast as the threats it faces.
Format
Intimate panel with Meta, Disney & Netflix as end-users and (-) & EtherWAN as the manufacturers+ open dialogue.
Part 1: AI in enterprise
AI is redefining what enterprise security can do — from reducing alert fatigue to predicting threats before they happen. But powerful technology means nothing if it isn’t built around the people deploying it. This session brings enterprise leaders and the vendor community together to tackle the real barriers to AI adoption and chart a path forward that actually works in the field.
When
August 6, 2026 | 10:30 AM – 4:00 PM PT
Part 2: AI in Ot
Where
Critical infrastructure doesn't get a second chance. Energy grids, transportation systems, smart buildings — these environments carry a risk profile that makes standard AI deployment a non-starter. This session asks the hard question: can the vendor community build AI that actually works for OT operators — delivering the intelligence they need without introducing the risk they can't afford?
