Prognose 2026

Bis 2027 werden 55 % der CIOs der G1000 damit beauftragt sein, unternehmensweite KI-Value-Playbooks zu entwickeln, die erweiterte ROI-Modelle enthalten, um die Auswirkungen von KI auf Effizienz, Wachstum und Innovation zu definieren, zu messen und sichtbar zu machen.

Kernthemen

Der CIO als Business Strategist​

CIOs haben sich von operativen Führungskräften zu strategischen Gestaltern des Unternehmens entwickelt. Während die digitale Transformation jedes Geschäftsmodell verändert, definiert technologische Führung heute die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Der moderne CIO muss IT-Prioritäten mit Geschäftsergebnissen in Einklang bringen, die Agenda im Vorstand mitgestalten und Innovationen vorantreiben, die messbaren Mehrwert liefern.

Modernization, Legacy and Technical Debt​

Der Umgang mit “technical debt” ist längst nicht mehr nur ein Wartungsthema, sondern eine strategische Priorität. Die Modernisierung von legacy Systemen, die Vereinfachung von Architekturen und die Optimierung von Kostenstrukturen ermöglichen es Unternehmen, Ressourcen von der Instandhaltung hin zu Innovationen zu verlagern. Verschlankte Technologieportfolios schaffen die Agilität, die notwendig ist, um in einer digitalen Wirtschaft wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben.

Agentic AI Revolution​

Agentic AI markiert den Übergang von Automatisierung zu Autonomie. CIOs stehen vor der Aufgabe, autonome KI-Systeme verantwortungsvoll zu steuern, zu skalieren und in die Organisation zu integrieren – und dabei Chancen mit der notwendigen Governance und Kontrolle in Einklang zu bringen, um intelligente, selbststeuernde Unternehmen zu schaffen.

Resilience by Design​

Resilienz entwickelt sich zur entscheidenden Fähigkeit moderner Unternehmen. Adaptive Architekturen, sichere Infrastrukturen und integrierte Kontinuitätsplanung versetzen Organisationen in die Lage, Störungen standzuhalten – sei es durch wirtschaftliche Unsicherheiten, regulatorische Veränderungen oder Cyberbedrohungen – und dabei Wachstum sowie Vertrauen nachhaltig zu sichern.

Cybersecurity, Trust, und Digital Sovereignty​

Mit der Ausweitung digitaler Ökosysteme wird Vertrauen zu einer entscheidenden Währung. CIOs müssen Cybersicherheit, Datensouveränität und Compliance ganzheitlich adressieren und sicherstellen, dass Cloud-Strategien sowie grenzüberschreitende Aktivitäten mit den sich wandelnden regulatorischen Anforderungen im Einklang stehen. Der Aufbau digitalen Vertrauens schafft zugleich Schutz und einen nachhaltigen Wettbewerbsvorteil.

Aufbau des intelligenten Unternehmens

Daten bilden das Fundament jeder intelligenten Organisation. Verlässliche, gut gesteuerte und zugängliche Datenarchitekturen ermöglichen den skalierbaren Einsatz von KI, Automatisierung und Analytics. Unternehmen, die in robuste Datenfundamente investieren, sind besser positioniert, Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen, Veränderungen frühzeitig zu antizipieren und intelligentere sowie schnellere Geschäftsergebnisse zu erzielen.

Prognose 2026

Composite AI: Im Jahr 2026 wird ein erneuter Fokus auf Interpretierbarkeit und Zuverlässigkeit klassischer KI dazu führen, dass 70 % der Unternehmen Composite AI einsetzen, indem sie generative, präskriptive, prädiktive und agentische Technologien miteinander kombinieren.

Navigare la nuova frontiera di fiducia, compliance e innovazione

L’IDC IT Security Italy 2026 è l’evento di riferimento per i leader del business, della sicurezza e della tecnologia, dedicato a esplorare come integrare fiducia, governance e resilienza nel cuore della trasformazione digitale.

L’Italia sta entrando in una fase cruciale del suo percorso di cybersicurezza e modernizzazione digitale. Secondo IDC, si prevede che la spesa per la sicurezza in Europa crescerà con un tasso annuo composto (CAGR) del 9,4% fino al 2029, con software, analytics e protezione cloud-native a guidare il mercato. In Italia, le organizzazioni stanno rispondendo all’aumento delle minacce cyber, all’estensione dei requisiti normativi dell’UE e ai crescenti sforzi nazionali per rafforzare la sovranità digitale e la resilienza delle infrastrutture critiche.

Allo stesso tempo, l’Intelligenza Artificiale sta trasformando il panorama della sicurezza in Italia. Le ricerche di IDC mostrano che quasi il 40% delle organizzazioni europee sta già investendo in AI o automazione, e oltre il 70% si aspetta una trasformazione guidata dall’AI entro i prossimi 18 mesi.

Per i security leader italiani, l’AI rappresenta sia un’opportunità che una crescente area di rischio. Se da un lato sta migliorando il rilevamento delle minacce, la risposta agli incidenti e l’automazione, dall’altro sta abilitando nuovi vettori di attacco come deepfake, phishing generato dall’AI e vulnerabilità automatizzate. In risposta, le aziende italiane stanno investendo in analytics basate su AI, Identity and Access Management (IAM) e Managed Detection and Response (MDR) per potenziare la protezione, mantenendo al contempo trasparenza, governance e un’adozione etica dell’IA.

Agenda

L’IDC IT Security Summit rappresenta il punto d’incontro privilegiato per i leader del business, della sicurezza e della tecnologia che mirano a integrare fiducia, governance e resilienza al centro delle proprie strategie di trasformazione digitale.

Partecipate alle sessioni con gli analisti IDC e gli esperti del settore per esplorare come costruire ecosistemi digitali sicuri, capaci di coniugare innovazione e affidabilità. Approfondite le dinamiche dei settori più evoluti in Italia e acquisite framework operativi per trasformare la sicurezza in un differenziatore strategico, superando la logica del semplice costo reattivo.

Tematiche principali

Regulation, Resilience and Value Creation​

La regulatory compliance non è più un onere burocratico, ma un vero e proprio abilitatore strategico. Esploreremo come le organizzazioni possano integrare i mandati normativi (data privacy, leggi sulla cybersicurezza, regolamentazioni emergenti su AI e tecnologia) nelle proprie core operations, trasformando i requisiti in leve per la resilienza, la fiducia degli stakeholder e il valore di business.​

AI, Automation and Responsible Innovation

L’AI e gli intelligent agents stanno trasformando le modalità di erogazione della sicurezza, ma a grandi potenzialità corrispondono altrettanti rischi. Esploreremo l’implementazione pragmatica dell’IA: governance models, guardrails per prevenire usi impropri, prioritizzazione degli high-impact use cases e allineamento dei sistemi di IA ai principi di trust, transparency e accountability.

Operations, Analytics & Resilience Engineering

Detection, response e recovery non sono più eventi isolati, ma cicli continui. Analizzeremo nel dettaglio le advanced analytics, il Managed Detection & Response (MDR), l’orchestrazione e la external threat visibility (estesa alla supply chain e alle terze parti), insieme alle resilience metrics necessarie per rendere operativa l’efficacia della sicurezza.

The Human Factor: Leadership & Culture

La tecnologia da sola non garantisce la sicurezza: è necessario che leadership, cultura aziendale e sviluppo delle competenze siano allineati. Ci concentreremo sulla trasformazione dei team, sull’integrazione della security ownership in tutte le funzioni aziendali e sulla preparazione dei leader affinché sappiano parlare il language of risk and trust al Board, ai CEO e alle business lines.

Incident e Trust Recovery

I breach sono inevitabili, ciò che conta è il modo in cui un’organizzazione risponde. Approfondiremo la crisis communication, la forensic response, la gestione degli adempimenti normativi e delle assicurazioni, fino al ripristino della stakeholder trust e alla capacità di trasformare l’avversità in credibilità.

Sector & Domain Security Challenges

Settori e ambienti diversi presentano esigenze di sicurezza uniche. Ci concentreremo sulla protezione delle critical infrastructure (energia, utility), dei dispositivi connessi e IoT, della sanità, del settore finance e degli ambienti emergenti come le smart cities o i sistemi industriali.

Zukunftssichere, KI-fähige industrielle Dateninfrastrukturen: Wie gelingt die Brücke zwischen Fabrikhalle und Cloud?

Produktionsdaten, die bislang in isolierten Systemen schlummerten, entwickeln sich zunehmend zu einem strategischen Asset für Innovation und Effizienzsteigerungen.

 

Durch die intelligente Nutzung von Produktions-, Qualitäts- und Maschinendaten – insbesondere mittels Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) –  lassen sich Qualitätsprobleme schneller adressieren, Energieverbräuche optimieren und ungeplante Maschinenstillstände vermeiden.

 

Unternehmen stehen daher vor der Aufgabe, das enorme Potenzial industrieller Daten besser als bisher zu erschließen und für den Einsatz von KI in den Fabrikhallen nutzbar zu machen.

 

Maßgeblich für den Erfolg sind geeignete Dateninfrastrukturen, die den Anforderungen an Sicherheit und Skalierbarkeit gerecht werden, sowie umfassende Daten-Governance-Konzepte, die das Vertrauen in industrielle KI-Anwendungen nachhaltig stärken.

 

Wie produzierende Unternehmen diesen Weg erfolgreich gehen können und wo Stolpersteine liegen, darum geht es bei diesem Roundtable. IDC und Data Reply als Partner laden Sie dazu herzlich ein. Wir freuen uns auf einen intensiven Erfahrungs- und Meinungsaustausch in kleiner, vertraulicher Runde 

Darüber und mehr wollen wir sprechen:

  • Von Dateninseln zu vernetzter Intelligenz: Wie schaffen Unternehmen den Übergang von isolierten Produktionsdaten zu einem integrierten, KI-fähigen Datenökosystem?
  • Datenstrategie & Architektur: Welche Architekturansätze sind geeignet, um Produktions-, Qualitäts-, und Maschinendaten AI-ready zu machen?
  • Rolle von KI im industriellen Umfeld: Welche Use Cases bringen heute echten Mehrwert (z. B. Predictive Maintenance, Qualitätsanalyse, Energieoptimierung, generative Assistenzsysteme für Techniker)?
  • Datenqualität und Governance: Wie können Unternehmen sicherstellen, dass industrielle Daten vertrauenswürdig, kontextualisiert und KI-fähig sind?
  • Organisatorische Voraussetzungen: „Die größten Hürden für KI in der Industrie sind nicht technologisch, sondern organisatorisch.“ Wie lässt sich ein „AI-ready Mindset“ in Engineering- und Produktionsorganisationen etablieren?

Highlights aus dem Programm:

  • Praxisbericht von Philipp Martin Lutz, Senior Key Expert bei Siemens Digital Industries zu Data Products in the Agentic Era
  • Expertengespräch über Entscheidungsalternativen für IT-Executives
  • Moderierte Diskussionsrunde zum Austausch von Ansichten und Erfahrungen

Agentic AI, aziende, istituzioni e Sistema Paese: una nuova leva di sviluppo

L’IDC CIO Summit Italy 2026 è l’evento di riferimento per dirigenti senior del mondo tecnologico e business che guidano la strategia aziendale e la leadership digitale in una delle economie europee più ambiziose e orientate alla trasformazione.

Pensato per CIO, CTO e leader della trasformazione, questo summit di una giornata offre insight concreti sulle principali priorità italiane per il 2026: modernizzazione, cybersecurity, sostenibilità, intelligenza artificiale e adozione dell’Agentic AI, oltre all’allineamento degli investimenti IT a valore di business misurabile, in un contesto normativo sempre più stringente.

Agenda

Gli analisti IDC e gli esperti di settore condivideranno indicazioni pratiche su come costruire architetture IT resilienti, sicure e sostenibili, ridurre il debito tecnologico e implementare l’intelligenza artificiale, inclusa l’Agentic AI, in modo responsabile e scalabile.

Attraverso keynote, panel e momenti di confronto collaborativo, il Summit fornisce ai CIO italiani framework strategici, ricerche esclusive e insight di leadership per guidare un’innovazione affidabile, rafforzare la resilienza e accelerare la trasformazione digitale fino al 2026 e oltre.

2026 Prediction

Entro il 2027, il 55% dei CIO delle aziende G1000 sarà incaricato di sviluppare playbook sul valore dell’AI a livello enterprise, includendo modelli di ROI ampliati per definire, misurare e dimostrare l’impatto dell’intelligenza artificiale su efficienza, crescita e innovazione.

Main Themes

Il CIO come Business Strategist​

I CIO sono passati da leader operativi a strateghi aziendali. Con la trasformazione digitale che ridefinisce ogni modello di business, la leadership tecnologica diventa un fattore chiave di competitività. Il CIO di oggi deve allineare le priorità IT agli obiettivi di business, influenzare l’agenda del board e guidare innovazioni capaci di generare valore misurabile.

Modernizzazione, Sistemi legacy e Technical debt​

Gestire il debito tecnico non è più solo una questione di manutenzione, ma una priorità strategica. Modernizzare i sistemi legacy, semplificare le architetture e ottimizzare le strutture dei costi consente alle organizzazioni di spostare risorse dalla manutenzione all’innovazione. Portafogli tecnologici snelli offrono l’agilità necessaria per competere in un’economia digitale.

The Agentic AI Revolution​

L’Agentic AI segna il passaggio dall’automazione all’autonomia. I CIO devono saper governare, scalare e integrare sistemi di intelligenza artificiale autonoma in modo responsabile, bilanciando le opportunità con il controllo per creare aziende intelligenti e autonome.

Resilience by Design​

La resilienza sta emergendo come la capacità distintiva delle imprese moderne. Architetture adattive, infrastrutture sicure e una pianificazione integrata della continuità consentono alle organizzazioni di resistere alle interruzioni — che derivino da incertezze economiche, cambiamenti normativi o minacce informatiche — mantenendo al contempo crescita e fiducia.

Cybersecurity, Trust, & Digital Sovereignty​

Con l’espansione degli ecosistemi digitali, la fiducia diventa un elemento critico. I CIO devono affrontare in modo integrato cybersecurity, sovranità dei dati e compliance, assicurando che le strategie cloud e le operazioni transfrontaliere siano allineate alle normative in evoluzione. Costruire fiducia digitale significa garantire protezione e al contempo ottenere un vantaggio competitivo.

Building the Intelligent Enterprise​

I dati sono la base di ogni organizzazione intelligente. Architetture dati affidabili, governate e accessibili consentono ad AI, automazione e analytics di operare su larga scala. Le imprese che investono in solide fondamenta dati sono meglio posizionate per estrarre insight, anticipare i cambiamenti e ottenere risultati di business più intelligenti e rapidi.

2026 Prediction

Entro il 2027, le organizzazioni G1000 dovranno affrontare un aumento fino al 30% dei costi di infrastruttura AI sottostimati, spingendo i CIO ad ampliare il raggio d’azione dei team FinOps per ottimizzare le spese e aumentare il valore di business.
