Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform every aspect of our lives, from agriculture to healthcare, autonomous vehicles and mobile internet. But, how is AI changing the way we design, operate, and manage networks?
In this session, we will explore the future of AI with a focus on networking applications. We will share the Mist journey to cloud AI, and how we leveraged machine learning and deep learning to create a cloud AIOp solution that simplifies and automates network operations, improves user experience, and reduces costs. We will also discuss the fundamental elements of a networking cloud AIOp solution, such as data collection, processing, analysis, and action. Finally, we will examine the impact of AI on networking IT and the broader economy, and how AI can create new opportunities and challenges for network professionals.
Join us for this exciting and informative keynote and learn how AI can help you take your network to the next level.

The promise of SOAR has repeatedly failed. Organizations have invested heavily in enterprise solutions yet the ability to deliver automated, preventative, and corrective measures still remains a distant reality for most CISOs. Why? The concept of an Autonomous SOC is everywhere – promising to streamline security operations processes, reduce analyst alert fatigue, and improve overall security posture. But how does the dream of an Autonomous SOC play out in the real world of security operations? Is 2025 the year that Agentic AI where Hyperautomation saves the SOC?

In this eye-opening presentation, we will delve into the darker applications of artificial intelligence, specifically focusing on its potential to craft malicious code and generate deceptive voice replicas. As AI continues to evolve, its capabilities extend beyond beneficial innovations, posing significant ethical and security challenges. This session aims to shed light on how AI can be manipulated to perform nefarious tasks, such as writing harmful software or impersonating voices with high accuracy. Through live demonstrations and critical discussions, we aim to equip the audience with a comprehensive understanding of these risks and foster a dialogue on developing robust countermeasures and ethical guidelines to prevent misuse of AI technologies. Join us as we explore the shadowy corners of AI applications, understanding their implications and preparing for a secure technological future.
Presented by Grant Asplund, Security Evangelist • Check Point
The AI revolution is fundamentally transforming cybersecurity, while the future of networking evolves toward Hybrid Full Mesh—integrating 5G, WiFi, Ethernet, Fiber, and other network infrastructures. This presentation examines how AI is accelerating cyber threats: attack costs are skyrocketing, incidents surging 50% year-over-year, and ransomware development compressed from nine days to mere minutes*. We’ll explore why Hybrid SASE (not cloud-only) forms the core of an effective hybrid full-mesh security architecture and how organizations can respond when the rate of change and complexity outpace their capabilities. Most importantly, we’ll demonstrate why security isn’t just a feature but the essential foundation of operations in this new era of hyperconnected vulnerability.
