The timing is right for service providers to capture a new market share of analytics and AI..
Businesses are modernizing their applications to increase the speed of driving new functionality to market faster. Most organizations will rely on experienced partners to modernize their applications, for either handling the process entirely or leading in-house staff. Prioritizing which applications should be refactored or written to be cloud-native is best achieved through an upfront assessment and roadmap to fully understand data complexities and interdependencies.

AI enhances operations, drives innovation, and improves customer experiences.
AI empowers your team to expand their capabilities, streamline and automate workflows, and optimize costs. But AI relies on fast, low-latency networks and modernized infrastructure. Sensitive data and intellectual property could be at risk using a public GPT. Your enterprise must follow the best practices for AI adoption or risk exposure to new types of vulnerabilities.

Obstacles to adopting AI
A successful AI adoption depends heavily on the truth in the adage “garbage in, garbage out”. Enterprises must take steps to ensure the quality and accuracy of the data used to train AI models and root out non-inclusive biases. Generative AI hallucinations remain a top concern of AI implementers, with many organizations reporting negative consequences from inaccuracies. The pace of innovation means that IT often lacks the controls and visibility to mitigate the risks of AI adoption. The regulatory landscape is evolving as technology emerges, which means that AI usage and implementation could look very different over the coming years.

To ensure a smooth migration to AI, new adopters must centralize data, strategically deploy automation and machine learning, manage policies and compliance, and select an experienced AI implementation partner to guide them through the process.

Fight fire with fire
The future of security will be a war of AIs. Threat actors increasingly use GenAI and deepfake technology to forge more convincing social engineering attacks. They utilize automation to speed up brute force attacks and deploy malware as a service package to maximize the number of targets.

The only way to resist increasingly AI-powered attacks is to utilize AI-enabled security. Next-generation security tools such as virtual networking assistants guide cybersecurity professionals by flagging suspicious behavior. Self-driving automation can respond to threats in real time with minimal human input.
