Riding the AI Tsunami: Secure, Optimize, and Simplify

AI is creating new networking and security challenges that can no longer be addressed in operational siloes with fragmented technology. Data-intensive AI workloads place significant demands on network infrastructure and performance for enterprises already struggling to deliver legacy applications. AI also raises multidimensional security issues as AI becomes both a weapon for threat actors and a potential target for attacks. 

These problems demand coherent, holistic solutions if enterprises hope to thrive not just survive in the AI era. 

In this analyst-hosted fireside chat, experts from Nvidia, Dell‘Oro Group and Aryaka discuss how AI is creating renewed pressure to address the problems of secure networking and explore how forward-thinking enterprises can harness the power of AI to solve them.

John will share his analyst perspective on the limitations of legacy IT models and guide a thought-provoking discussion on why siloed approaches are no longer sustainable in an AI-driven enterprise landscape. Renuka will weigh in on the dual nature of AI—as both a performance disruptor and a security risk—and outline how unified, cloud-first architectures can empower organizations to adapt, scale, and secure smarter. The conversation will also highlight how enterprises can harness AI itself to enhance visibility, automate threat detection, and optimize performance. Don’t miss practical advice for IT leaders preparing for the future of secure, AI-powered infrastructure.

Aryaka Enlighten: Unified SASE as a Service Explained

In this tale of Unified SASE heroism, Ram and Lisa harness the power of AI for their organization by leveraging AI-Perform from Aryaka's Unified SASE.

Ram and Lisa Tame the GenAI Beast

The rise of Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) has transformed how businesses operate, but it also introduces new security risks. Sensitive data can inadvertently leak during interactions with these tools, as seen in high-profile incidents like the Samsung data leak (https://mashable.com/article/samsung-chatgpt-leak-details)
Also, Traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools are ill-equipped to detect and prevent such leaks in LLM transactions, creating significant security blind spots.

In this session, we will examine few real-world examples of AI-related data exposure, explore why LLM transactions pose unique challenges for existing security frameworks, and discuss practical approaches to mitigating these risks. Attendees will gain insights into evolving their DLP strategies to address the dynamic threats posed by GenAI tools in enterprise environments.
