Accelerate your AI/ML Strategy with Red Hat Services

According to TechTarget's 2024 Technology Spending Intentions Study, the following areas have become significantly more important to organisations over the past 2 years:

1. Generative AI - 27% of respondents
2. Business and/or IT automation - 32% of respondents

Clearly, there is high interest to invest in AI. However, the journey to enterprise AI is full of challenges and potential pitfalls, and there is a more fundamental consideration in order to ensure greater ease and security for AI - IT Automation. 

On top of that, many questions remain:
-Which use cases make sense? Should we start small and only think about scaling across the enterprise later?
-What about Shadow AI? Shouldn’t the use of AI be “democratised” to ensure greater adoption?
-What are the human and platform capabilities that need to be established in order to eventually build enterprise AI at scale and help AI live up to its promises?

Join us in this IDC webinar sponsored by Red Hat as we answer those questions and discuss how we can make the most of AI while minimising risk.

Modernize your hybrid cloud strategy with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

According to Forrester’s 2023 data, over 90% of global enterprise AI decision-makers have concrete plans to implement Generative AI (GenAI). While production use cases are limited to a few sophisticated organizations, enterprises expect broad value from GenAI, with productivity as the leading benefit (47%) and innovation and cost efficiencies coming close with unlimited possibilities to explore . As governments race to unlock the potential of GenAI, the obsession with adding GenAI into existing Chatbots risks obscuring the truly revolutionary opportunities the technology promises and limiting itself to only incremental improvements. For instance, the US . National Bureau of Economic Research and MIT’s Department for Economic Research (respectively) found that adding GenAI into customer service environments provides a 14% productivity improvement versus a 59% in existing document-oriented business operations. 

The truth is GenAI's most profound benefits for public services lie in augmenting human capabilities and streamlining operational efficiencies, with the resulting impact extending far beyond mere customer interactions. Mission as well as the technology leaders who support them must explore the broader applications of GenAI to revolutionize public sector services and operations, harnessing its power to not just improve, but transform service delivery and governmental processes.

Join leaders from Red Hat and Intel, along with our guest speaker, Forrester’s Principal Analyst Sam Higgins, as we explore the state of GenAI adoption in public sector, what traps to avoid when adopting this emerging technology, the benefits government agencies should expect as well as the options and considerations for implementation, drawing on Forrester’s latest research “The State Of AI In The Public Sector”, panel discussion and audience Q&A.

GenAI Innovation In Government: Going Beyond Chatbot Renovation

A recent Harvard Business Review Analytic Services survey highlights the importance of IT automation: 80% of respondents say adopting IT automation is “extremely important” or “very important” to the future success of their organization. However, only 34% of respondents say that IT leaders are actually embracing that role¹.

As companies strive to become more agile and digitize their operations, IT automation has evolved into a business imperative and has become a critical element in digital transformation. IT leaders must not focus solely on technical matters like selecting the right technology. They should also become evangelists by developing a strategic vision for IT automation and serving as a proponent of culture change to overcome the resistance present at many organizations today.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:
How Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform supports your digital transformation
Understand how organizational change and culture impact the advancement of IT automation.
Identify top priorities and define the roles IT leaders should play to advance IT automation

Conquer OS security challenges with RHEL experts

Security encompasses a wide range of products and services designed to help protect individuals and organizations from loss or damage to their data, applications, systems IT, networks, and devices for malicious or unintentional activity.

Security attacks can be frightening, and manually responding to them is inefficient and ineffective. Organizations that automate extensively are better able to prevent security incidents and business disruptions. Fully deploying security automation can reduce the average cost of a security breach by 95%.¹

In this security automation-focused session, you'll learn how Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform can contribute to:

-Investigation enrichment, which collects logs from firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and other systems in an automated way to optimize classification activities carried out through security information and event management systems (SIEM).

-Threat hunting, which automatically adjusts the logging level, creates new intrusion detection system (IDS) rules, and new firewall policies, making it easier to detect more threats in less time.

-Incident response, which fixes automation actions faster, such as blocklisting attacked IP addresses or domains, allowlisting non-threatening traffic, or isolating suspicious workloads for further investigation.

IT solutions and security integration in changing environments

In today's rapidly-evolving digital landscape, the application build and release processes have emerged as a critical focal point for potential security vulnerabilities. Keeping track of all the components used to build and run your applications is a critical part of maintaining a strong security posture. It is also a well-known fact that addressing vulnerabilities early on during the development or build and release process is more cost effective and reassuring.

Join Red Hat® experts for a comprehensive examination of the challenges faced by developers and businesses to explore how the Red Hat Trusted Software Supply Chain can support your DevSecOps initiatives across all phases of the application life cycle—from development, build and deploy to runtime to unlock developer productivity—and improve operational efficiency.

Earning customer trust is an imperative; governments simply can’t operate without it. When trust in institutions is strong, governments reap social, economic, and reputational benefits enabling them to expand and extend their relationship with the people they serve. 

When trust is weak, they lose those benefits and must work harder to create and maintain economic well-being and social cohesion in order for people to prosper. But the number and severity of extraordinary political and social instability, environmental pressures, health crises, and other systemic risks has shaken stakeholders trust in government - especially when it comes to the use of data and artificial intelligence. 

This is a reality mission leaders understand, with government decision makers in Forester’s Data And Analytics Survey, 2023 indicating a “lack of trust in AI systems” is the biggest concern public sector agencies face when it comes to using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, followed by “ethical and privacy challenges.” But what can be done to close the gap and building stakeholder trust in government, data, and AI?

To find out join our guest, Sam Higgins, Principal Analyst at Forrester, as he explores the relationship between trust and driving up mission-critical behaviors such as compliance, advocacy, and engagement. Sam will also facilitate a fireside discussion with Red Hat’s Chief Technology Officer for APAC, Vincent Caldeira, and Jamie Ng, APJ Regional Center of Excellence, Government & Education Segment Lead, Intel Corporation on what mission-based organizations must understand when developing, training, running trusted AI solutions.
