Artificial intelligence and internet protection are two major themed moldsWith a clear approach towards technical sovereignty and the role of digitalization as an economic machine.
This version is marked by A For a clear purpose of attracting profiles with higher corporate balance and real decision -making skills: Administrative Councils First CEO and Politically responsible. According to Alberto Pascal, the president of the Azlan Sangam since this year, the Congress is important to establish a national and internationally establishment.
Pascol, who is the Managing Director of Ingram Micro in Spain, Reviews The keys of the event are this exclusive interview for 20 bitsTechnical challenges that indicate the impact of AI and Internet security and the immediate future. It is clear: ”Technology is no longer a support, which is the center of business strategy”.
The number of participants has been violated this year. What are you saying?We are at a time when technology is no longer a supporter, which is the center of business strategy. Many business models are born directly around technology. Therefore, the Congress has visited the event of technicians to attract the best decisions: consultation, chief executives and public sector, political leaders. In fact, this year we have joined people like the Digital Transformation Minister and the Digitalization Minister of the Madrid community.
What factors have made this level of progress possible?Technology has played an important role in the agenda of companies and companies. This includes a geopolitical situation that forces us to reconsider technical and industrial sovereignty. There are important competition benefits for Spain: clean and cheap energy, dense communication network and solid digital talent site in Europe. In addition, now has money: European funds from IPX 35 companies that have had historical benefits in the last two years, the next generation and private capital.
Artificial intelligence is very much. What conclusions do you get from the discussions?The creation of AI is an entry door, but we wanted to go further in Congress. We have focused on real applications: prognosis care, network supervision, internet security, format analysis, health … AI is already in all technical vessels. We wanted to show not only its ability, but also how the specific fields already changed.
Do you think that AI is used in Spain?There are companies that are already experienced without fear and close companies due to the sensitivity of the data. Regulation is important to create confidence. In that respect, the Spanish IA (Asia) supervisory agency does a great job. Spain has been a pioneer in the creation of a completely dedicated creature to guarantee the safe and protocol use of this technology.
Cyber protection is also one of the pillars. What features have been overcome?We have talked about the new European regulations (NIS2, Dora), which forcing the systems to strengthen their organizations and expect better the risks. We have also emphasized the need to train users: a weak organ man. After all, we have focused on cyber setback. It is not enough to protect yourself; You must have a plan to continue when the attack is successful.
Is Spanish companies ready for this scale?There is more awareness and helps a lot of choice presented by stimulating reports. But not all companies can hold a CISO or remain updated against the ongoing threats. That is why the role of administered internet security services is very important, which allows any company to access the higher level safety on subscription or use fee.
It sounds a little up to the netflix of cyber security …Exactly. This is a good way to explain it.
What profiles participated in this version of Congress?Regular technical profiles – all, CDOs, split – technical managers of public administrations and, for the first time, chief executive officers of companies in technical DNA. In addition, we have celebrated the Azlan Awards for 17 years, which recognize digitalization programs in public administrations, as a result of public-private cooperation.
When you look at the future, do you think the next version will be?The energy challenges of AI, the performance of the models training, the need for supercomputing … all representing the agenda. We are also exploring how to coordinate companies in the quantum computing industry, which will revolutionize computer skills. This will have a direct impact on fields such as Internet security.
Quantum computing may also break the current encryption systems.Perfect. This will change the precedent. Quantum computing will do the same, just as AI has provided new tools to the attackers and guardians. That is why it is very important to be in order and the rule of law is favorable to us in that struggle.
What role can public administrations play in this change?They have an important role. There is funds, but public purchase processes are a barrier. We encourage public-private conversation from Asllan to accelerate these processes. Administrations should use these tools with strategic view: they have tons of data and processes, which are more efficient and secure with AI and Internet security.
