AI is here, and it’s moving fast. But while businesses race to embrace its potential, IT leaders are grappling with an unexpected side effect—AI-driven traffic surges are clogging networks, degrading performance, and exposing security vulnerabilities.

How can you stay ahead without compromising security and operational efficiency?

Join Aryaka’s Renuka Nadkarni, CPO and AI specialist, Scott Fanning for a keynote on the urgent challenges AI brings to enterprise networking and security. With over a decade of expertise in optimizing application performance and security for SaaS and Multi-Cloud, Aryaka has now mastered AI networking and security as a managed service—so you don’t have to go at it alone.

But we’re not stopping there.

You’ll also hear directly from Senior IT Professionals in an interactive roundtable discussion, where industry leaders will share real-world challenges and strategies for managing AI-driven network transformation. This is your chance to gain insights from peers facing the same pressures and walk away with practical approaches to securing and optimizing AI in your enterprise.
