Strategie e best practice per ottimizzare i costi del cloud garantendo controllo e sovranità dei dati

 

L’adozione del cloud continua ad accelerare, portando con sé nuove complessità nella gestione dei costi e nella governance dei dati. Il modello FinOps si sta affermando come elemento chiave per garantire visibilità, controllo e ottimizzazione della spesa cloud.
Non a caso, l’89% delle aziende europee stima di sprecare una parte significativa del proprio budget cloud, secondo il sondaggio IDC EMEA CloudOps 2025.

 

Dall’altra parte, la sovranità dei dati diventa un requisito imprescindibile per assicurare
conformità normativa, sicurezza e resilienza e, con eventi macroeconomici sempre più frequenti e impattanti, la sovranità digitale sarà la priorità assoluta in Europa.

 

Infine, le organizzazioni si trovano oggi a dover bilanciare innovazione e controllo:
da un lato la necessità di scalare rapidamente e sfruttare ambienti multi-cloud, dall’altro l’esigenza di mantenere piena consapevolezza su dove risiedono i dati, come vengono gestiti e quali implicazioni normative ne derivano.

Temi di discussione:

  1. Ottimizzare i costi del cloud
    Scopri come adottare pratiche FinOps evolute per ridurre gli sprechi e massimizzare il valore degli investimenti cloud.
  2. Sovranità dei dati in ambienti multi-cloud
    Approfondisci le implicazioni normative e strategiche della data sovereignty nei contesti ibridi e distribuiti.
  3. Confronto tra decision-maker
    Condivisione di best practice, un tavolo riservato per condividere strategie reali, criticità comuni e soluzioni già adottate con i tuoi colleghi.
  4. Governance, compliance e controllo
    Identifica approcci concreti per rafforzare il controllo sui tuoi ambienti cloud e garantire piena conformità normativa.

Cyber disruption, digital sovereignty, and leadership when it matters most

The IDC Security Summit France is the flagship annual event for CISOs, CIOs, security leaders, and executive decision-makers confronting a rapidly escalating cyber threat landscape.

As geopolitical friction intensifies, technology supply chains grow more complex, and regulatory demands expand, cybersecurity has moved beyond the IT function. It now sits firmly at the core of enterprise strategy – shaping sovereignty, resilience, and executive accountability.

In 2026, the Summit will unveil a fully immersive, scenario-based experience built around a high-impact cyber crisis simulation. Designed to reflect real-world dynamics, the format will challenge leaders to make critical decisions under pressure – balancing operational continuity, reputation, compliance, and stakeholder trust in real time.

More than a technology conference, the Summit explores what it truly takes to lead through crisis: clarity in uncertainty, coordination across functions, and the endurance to respond to sustained and increasingly credible attacks.

Strategic Context

According to IDC, cybersecurity is being fundamentally reshaped by the convergence of geopolitics and artificial intelligence.

By 2027:

  • One-third of governments will mandate sovereign AI strategies in sensitive sectors.

  • 80% of organizations will be exposed to phishing campaigns powered by AI-generated synthetic identities.

At the same time, AI-augmented threats are accelerating in scale and sophistication. Deepfakes, voice cloning, manipulated digital evidence, attacks targeting AI models, and the uncontrolled spread of “shadow AI” are dramatically increasing operational complexity and cognitive overload for security teams.

In this context, the IDC Security Summit France provides senior leaders with forward-looking insights, strategic benchmarks, and practical frameworks to reinforce digital sovereignty, strengthen enterprise resilience, and enhance executive decision-making in high-pressure environments.

Key Topics

1. Digital Sovereignty, Regulation and Value Creation: From Burden to Strategic Asset

NIS2, DORA, national strategy 2026–2030: regulatory pressure keeps mounting, and penalties are hitting hard. Yet the CISOs who know how to seize this moment are turning compliance into a competitive edge. How do you make compliance a credibility lever in the boardroom? How do you strike the right balance between technological sovereignty and real economic constraints? This track repositions the CISO where they belong: as a strategic architect.

2. Offensive AI vs Defensive AI: The CISO Caught in the Crossfire

Deepfakes, autonomous phishing, agents capable of orchestrating intrusions without human intervention — attack speed is outpacing teams’ ability to respond. Meanwhile, Shadow AI is quietly creating invisible vulnerabilities from within. How do you deploy defensive AI at scale without opening new attack surfaces? This track confronts CISOs with their real trade-offs, right now.

3. Organisational Models and Security Operations: Who Decides, Who Acts?

The centralised CISO model is running out of steam — overexposed, isolated, facing threats that keep accelerating. The most mature organisations are already redesigning their structures: AI-augmented SOCs, separation of strategic and operational oversight, redefined roles all the way up to the executive committee. This track tackles the questions no one wants to answer yet: how do you build an organisation that holds over time, without burning out your teams or losing effectiveness?

4. Supply Chain Attacks and Third-Party Risk: From Mapping to Real-Time Resilience

A compromised vendor, a poorly governed third-party access, an invisible dependency — and the entire chain goes down. More than one in three major incidents originates from a third party. Yet most organisations still manage this risk through annual questionnaires. This track explores the shift to dynamic, continuous management: mapping critical failure points, applying Zero Trust to supplier ecosystems, and concrete strategies to contain the spread before it’s too late.

5. Managing a Cyber Crisis: From the War Room to the Board — and Beyond

You will be attacked. The real question: are you ready to recover, fast, under the board’s scrutiny? Executive leadership no longer wants dashboards. They want to know what holds under degraded conditions, how quickly, and with what evidence. This track covers the essentials: playbooks, crisis simulation, communication under pressure, managing your team through the storm — and the concrete levers to rebuild trust after the incident.

6. Security in Critical Environments: When Failure Is Not an Option

Energy, healthcare, industry, local authorities: here, a cyberattack doesn’t disrupt an IT system — it paralyses vital infrastructure. OT/IoT environments remain under-protected, hybrid architectures multiply blind spots, and attackers know it. This track is for CISOs and CIOs for whom continuity is not a goal but an obligation — and who must build genuine resilience in environments where there is no margin for error.

Deutschland steht an der Spitze der digitalen Transformation in Europa und verbindet erstklassiges industrielles Know-how mit einem starken Bekenntnis zu Datenschutz, Transparenz und Vertrauen. Doch während die Unternehmen hierzulande ihre Investitionen in AI beschleunigen, stehen sie gleichzeitig wachsenden Herausforderungen gegenüber. Dies gilt insbesondere für die nur schleppend vorangebrachte Modernisierung veralteter Daten-Infrastrukturen.

 

Freuen Sie sich auf einen Austausch auf Augenhöhepraxisnahe Impulse und wertvolle Einblicke in Strategien, Innovationsfähigkeit, die digitale Souveränität und Wachstum erfolgreich verbinden.

Darüber und mehr wollen wir in einem Deep-Dive des vorangegangenen AI & Data Summits sprechen:

  • Wie lassen sich Datenkontrolle und Innovationsfähigkeit durch AI sinnvoll miteinander verbinden?
  • Wie können moderne Cloud-Architekturenhybride Modelle und offene Standards dabei helfen, Flexibilität und Zukunftssicherheit zu gewährleisten?
  • Wie schafft man Datenqualität und –Verfügbarkeit als größtes Hindernis beiseite?
  • Wie gelingt die Skalierung von Prozessen durch Agentic AI in einer Hybrid Cloud by Design?
  • Was bedeutet die Entwicklung AI-basierter Workloads einer „Trusted Infrastructure“?

Il reale impatto dell'AI: come trasformare i vostri processi in asset digitali misurabili

L’AI sta trasformando il nostro mondo, ma la domanda che le aziende si pongono è:
come utilizzarla al meglio per avere vantaggi concreti e misurabili?

 

Secondo un sondaggio IDC, nel 2025, solo il 12% delle aziende Italiane è riuscito ad
ottenere ROI misurabili da progetti di IA.
Ciò spesso è dovuto alla difficoltà delle aziende di identificare casi d’uso ben definiti.

Perchè partecipare

  1. Ricerca IDC esclusiva sull’AI adoption in Italia
    Attraverso i risultati della ricerca, scoprirete lo stato dell’arte dell’AI in Italia e le sfide del 2026.
  2. Business application AI-native con SAP
    SAP illustrerà la nuova generazione di Business Application potenziate dall’AI nativa, capaci di generare impatto reale su marginalità, liquidità e operations.
  3. AI Adoption Roadmap con Horsa
    Horsa condividerà le metodologie con cui lavora al fianco delle aziende per definire una roadmap di trasformazione concreta e misurabile.
  4. Casi d’uso per area aziendale
    Dall’ERP alla BI, dalla Supply Chain all’HR: casi reali con KPI misurabili che mostrano come l’AI diventa acceleratore operativo a ogni livello.
  5. Benchmark e confronto tra pari
    Raccoglieremo il vostro punto di vista su priorità e ROI atteso, connettendo la visione strategica alle esigenze concrete della vostra organizzazione.
