hindered by hardware constraints and data quality issues, with many projects failing to deliver expected returns. We provide GPU optimised compute and high throughput storage, coupled with data governance and ML Ops, to overcome these bottlenecks. Confidential computing and zero trust secure data during processing, while change management programmes ready the workforce.

Driving effective digital transformation

Harvard Business Review notes that AI adoption will happen at enterprise time, longer and with more friction than many expect. Companies often chase generative AI pilots without fixing data governance and process design, and the multiplication of tools adds redundancy. A sharper path simplifies processes, rationalises toolsets and prioritises high value use cases. Leaders should adopt human in the loop agentic AI, where autonomous agents handle routine tasks, but humans provide oversight; transformation demands disciplined governance and patience.

Spotting overlooked trends

Protecting data during processing is still appreciated. It uses hardware based secure enclaves and supports data sovereignty compliance. Another signal is agentic AI: analysts forecast that autonomous digital agents will appear in about a third of enterprise software by 2028, but many projects may fail due to unclear value. Leaders who invest early in governance and use case clarity will gain an edge.

Enabling secure and compliant innovation

Trust underpins digital transformation. We embed privacy by design, zero trust and align our solutions with the U.S. National Institute of Standards

and Technology’s AI Risk Management Framework, which guides organisations in building trustworthy AI. Digit Solutions SOC offerings quantify cyber risks in financial terms so executives can prioritise actions. We ensure compliance with GDPR, UAE and GCC laws, build localised clouds when needed and use confidential computing to process sensitive data while maintaining sovereignty. Monitoring and incident response

are delivered through a human plus AI model to ensure accountability.

Emerging drivers of competitive enterprise success

The convergence of agentic AI, sovereign data and sustainable computing will reshape success. Analysts forecast that about one third of enterprise software will feature agentic capabilities by 2028. Clear outcomes, governance and human oversight will be essential. Growing sovereignty demands will make confidential computing and localised clouds standard. Sustainability will move from CSR to operational imperative; AI workloads are energy intensive, so investments in efficient algorithms, green data centres and sustainable compute reduce costs and meet regulations. Enterprises that integrate ethical agentic AI, sovereign secure data and sustainable infrastructure will gain an enduring advantage.

THE POWER OF TWO

Fayez Ibbini, CEO, Alpha Data, and Ahmed Elsayed, Channel Sales Lead, Middle East & Africa, HPE Networking, discuss how the companies’ long-standing partnership has evolved to deliver secure, scalable, and outcome-driven digital transformation across the Middle East

The Middle East is perched on the edge of a digital renaissance. IDC forecasts that investment in digital transformation across the region will hit $74 billion by 2026, with AI, hybrid cloud, and edge technologies leading the surge. For enterprises and governments, the challenge is no longer deciding whether to modernise but figuring out how to do it at scale, securely, and sustainably.

In this environment, partnerships are becoming the scaffolding on which transformation is built. Among them, the collaboration between HPE Networking and Alpha Data stands out – not just for its longevity, but for the way it has grown from a traditional vendor-reseller tie into a true solutions alliance that fuses global innovation with local execution.

From products to outcomes Alpha Data today positions itself as one of the leading digital transformation providers and systems integrators in the Middle East. Its portfolio spans AI, mobility, security, Internet of Things, big data, and cloud solutions. In parallel, its enterprise computing group delivers servers, storage, security solutions, managed services, and integration capabilities across sectors in the UAE. Underpinning all of this is a team of highly certified professionals, many boasting over a decade of domain experience.

HPE Networking brings a wealth of expertise to the region, combining the proven capabilities of the legacy

HPE Aruba Networking portfolio with the innovations of Juniper Networks, following its recent acquisition. Its comprehensive offerings, spanning wired and wireless networking, network security, SD-WAN, AIpowered analytics, and edgeto-cloud solutions, empower organisations to build secure, scalable, and intelligent networks. Its regional teams combine global R&D capabilities with deep knowledge of local market dynamics, helping enterprises in the UAE and wider Middle East translate innovative technologies into tangible business outcomes.

That breadth of capabilities and depth of expertise gives the HPE Networking–Alpha Data partnership something rare in the region: the ability to move beyond selling components, toward delivering complete, outcome-oriented transformation.

Over time, the relationship has matured in lockstep with the market. As the Gulf’s digital ambitions grew, so did the expectations on both sides of the partnership—to respond faster, to integrate more deeply, and to translate technologies into tangible outcomes for clients. Fayez Ibbini, CEO of Alpha Data, reflect on this journey, noting how the relationship has gone beyond its original scope. “Our partnership with HPE Networking has grown from

“We turn global innovation into practical, tailored solutions that help local businesses achieve real impact”

Fayez Ibbini, Alpha Data

product delivery to a full solutions alliance, combining their global innovation with our local expertise,” he says. “Together, we deliver tailored, secure, and scalable digital transformation solutions that set us apart in the UAE and Middle East.”

From HPE Networking’s perspective, this evolution has been defined by how Alpha Data adapts and contextualises technology for customers. Ahmed Elsayed, Channel Sales Lead, Middle East & Africa, HPE Networking, says, “What makes this partnership unique is how seamlessly Alpha Data takes our portfolio and localises it for customer needs. Their market understanding and execution amplify the value of our innovations.”

The result is a partnership where one side brings cuttingedge technology and the other ensures that it is implemented with

ground-level intelligence – tailored, supported, and constantly adapted to anticipate what customers in the region need next.

Scaling AI, cloud, and edge with security at the core

As workloads become more demanding and distributed, the network ceases to be just a connectivity fabric, it becomes a performance enabler. Therefore, these capabilities are increasingly essential in an era of AI, cloud, and edge convergence. Elsayed underscores the stakes: “AI workloads are the most demanding we’ve seen in decades. Their success depends on network performance, scalability, and security. Working with Alpha Data and leveraging HPE Networking solutions ensures customers in the region have

the right blend of advanced technologies and local expertise to unlock the potential of AI-driven infrastructure and hybrid cloud.”

Ibbini is quick to stress that innovation cannot come at the expense of resilience, emphasising that scalability and security must be built in from the start. “By working together, Alpha Data and HPE Networking make it easier for organisations to embrace AI, hybrid cloud, and edge technologies without compromise. We deliver solutions that are not only fast and scalable but also secure—helping businesses transform confidently and sustainably.”

In a region where digital strategies often collide with regulatory constraints, legacy systems, or cultural particularities, this balance is critical.

Where

global innovation meets local execution

The local edge that Alpha Data brings, becomes a compelling differentiator. Its wide ranging networking environment, local relationships, and knowledge of regional dynamics allow it to translate global innovation into business-ready solutions. “Alpha Data brings deep local expertise, strong relationships, and on-theground support that amplify HPE Networking’s technology for the UAE and Middle East,” says Ibbini. “We turn global innovation into practical, tailored solutions that help local businesses achieve real impact.” Without such localisation, even the most advanced technologies can risk becoming underutilised.

From HPE Networking’s perspective, that local bridge is what ensures that global R&D investments deliver in-market results. “The HPE Networking portfolio is global in scope, but customer needs are local. Partnering with Alpha Data enables us to bridge this gap. Their market knowledge ensures our solutions are not only innovative but also relevant and outcome-driven for regional customers,” Elsayed says.

All of this will be on display at GITEX 2025, where the two companies plan to showcase the

“What makes this partnership unique is how seamlessly Alpha Data takes HPE Networking’s portfolio and localises it for customer needs”

future of enterprise IT in the region. On HPE’s stand, visitors will see the intersection of AI, Networking, and Hybrid Cloud, highlighting both “AI for Networking” and “Networking for AI” innovations, as well as hybrid cloud architectures designed for both flexibility and security.

Alpha Data will bring those demonstrations to life with real-world use cases, enabling customers to see how the technologies apply in actual environments. “At GITEX, we’re showing what the future of enterprise IT looks like when global innovation meets local execution. It’s not about technology for technology’s sake—it’s about

delivering measurable business outcomes,” says Ibbini.

A model for regional transformation

In many ways, the HPE Networking–Alpha Data partnership mirrors the broader transformation story of the Middle East: a convergence of global vision and local insight, of ambition and pragmatism. As digital adoption accelerates, their partnership is positioned not just to ride the wave, but to steer it –demonstrating that in this region, collaboration between technology innovators and locally rooted integrators may be one of the most sustainable drivers of change.

BUILDING FUTURE-READY ENTERPRISES

Jignasu Rathod, Chief Executive Officer, Elitser Technologies, highlights how the company empowers organisations with AI-driven resilience, efficiency, and adaptability to thrive in an ever-evolving business landscape

Elitser’s 5 forces at GITEX

For us at Elitser, GITEX is more than an exhibition, it’s where conversations turn into connections and commitments. This year, we’re bringing our “5 Forces” framework to the region, which is our way of simplifying what enterprises truly need to thrive in an era shaped

by AI, data, and sustainability. The five forces are Visibility, Resilience, Efficiency, Adaptability, and Collaboration. Together, they represent how we see the future of enterprise IT. You can’t just throw AI at a problem without visibility. You can’t scale without resilience. You can’t claim sustainability without

efficiency. And without adaptability and collaboration, no enterprise can survive disruption. Why GITEX? Because the Middle East is where these conversations matter most. Governments and enterprises here are not just following trends, they’re setting them. For us, being part of GITEX is about aligning our innovation story with the ambitions of the region.

From technology to tangible outcomes

When we work with customers, we don’t just install software, we cocreate solutions with them. A good example is how we use the Force of Efficiency to help clients cut operational waste. By automating workflows and using AI to predict issues before they become outages, some of our customers have reduced downtime by nearly 40 per cent. That’s not just technology, that’s business continuity. With partners like ManageEngine, our role is to localise and humanise

technology. We ensure globalclass solutions are tuned to the compliance, cultural, and operational realities of this region. That’s how we deliver outcomes, not just licenses.

AI at scale: Building trust and skills

The excitement around AI is real, but so are the hurdles. What we see most often are three things. One is Trust, “Can I rely on this system to make decisions?”. Second, Scalability, “Will this still work when I move from 100 users to 10,000 users?” and lastly its Skills, “Do my people know how to use and adapt to this technology?” Elitser helps overcome these by integrating AI within IT operations workflows, not as standalone silos. And we close the skills gap by providing ongoing enablement, not just at the start, but throughout the customer’s journey.

Cutting through AI hype

I believe the hype is around “Artificial Intelligence” everywhere. The reality is that AI without clean data, strong security, and adaptable processes is like building a skyscraper on sand. If I had to give leaders one sharper path, I’d say, focus on adaptability over hype. That’s why in our framework, the Force of Adaptability is so important. Technology will keep changing. Markets will keep shifting. Leaders who invest in agility in their systems, in their teams, will win, regardless of the next shiny trend.

Integration as the hidden risk

One area I believe leaders are overlooking is the growing complexity of integration. Everyone is buying best-of-breed solutions, security tools, cloud apps, AI platforms but very few are stepping back to ask - “how do these pieces talk to each other?” What I see too often is enterprises investing heavily in cutting-edge technologies, but then losing value because those systems live in silos. The result is fragmented visibility, higher operational costs, and more risk. This is why our

Force of Collaboration is so critical. Collaboration isn’t just about people working together, it’s about systems, processes, and partners being seamlessly connected. The organisations that realise integration is the multiplier of value will leap ahead, while those who ignore it will keep adding tools with no measurable outcomes.

Securing innovation

This is where resilience comes into play. Innovation without resilience is reckless. We help enterprises innovate with confidence by building security and compliance into the DNA of their IT operations. Whether its zero-trust frameworks, unified monitoring, or region-specific compliance dashboards, we make sure innovation is protected every step of the way. I like to say, security isn’t about slowing you down, it’s about making sure you can move faster without fear. That’s how we balance responsibility with innovation.

“We help enterprises innovate with confidence by building security and compliance into the DNA of their IT operations”

Convergence of AI and sustainability

I believe the most defining shift will be the convergence of AI and sustainability. It’s not just about doing things faster or smarter anymore, it’s about doing them responsibly. Enterprises will increasingly be determined not only by their profitability but by how responsibly they use AI, how much energy they save, and how they treat their people. Because success won’t come from chasing a single trend, it will come from balancing visibility, resilience, efficiency, adaptability, and collaboration. That balance is what makes enterprises truly future-ready.

NETWORKS REIMAGINED

Todd Ashton, Head of Enterprise & Mission-Critical Division - Europe

Middle East & Africa, Ericsson, unpacks how AI and programmable networks are shaping the future of connectivity

Showcasing the future of connectivity

At GITEX 2025, Ericsson is showcasing programmable networks, differentiated connectivity, and AI-driven automation. We are bringing these ideas to life through live demos – from intent-based automation and industrial AI at scale to immersive experiences like the ‘Tram Ride to the Future’. These highlight how advanced connectivity enables consumer, enterprise and industrial value. GITEX is a platform

to engage governments, customers and partners while aligning with national digital agendas. It allows us to show how programmable networks and open APIs support enterprise innovation, network monetisation and sustainable digital transformation. Visitors can find us at Hall 21, Booth G21 D10.

Co-creating measurable value

We co-create solutions with communication service providers, enterprises and partners. Our

focus areas include programmable networks, network APIs and AI driven automation that deliver predictable performance, energy use reduction and operational efficiency. With Ericsson, our partners can unlock new monetisation models and transform business models, helping telcos become tech-cos. By enabling the monetisation of moments that matter, we support enterprise use cases across sectors such as utilities, transportation and public safety. Through innovation hubs and joint programmes, we contribute more than just technology, but also alignment with national transformation agendas and the ability for our customers and partners capture the full value of digitalisation.

Scaling AI for mission-critical operations

Enterprises face challenges in integration, interoperability, governance and skills. Ericsson addresses these through scalable AI industrialisation and intent based automation. At GITEX we are showing a generative AI powered development environment that enables rapid creation and deployment of network applications with multi agent capabilities and talk to network functions. We combine this with a portfolio of cloud native AI applications that improve efficiency, reduce costs and streamline workflows. This practical approach helps service providers and enterprises move beyond pilots to fully operational AI systems that support mission critical use cases and measurable performance outcomes.

which are becoming increasingly complex to manage with an ever- growing threat surface. This is why Fortinet is committed to providing a unified, cloud-native platform with centralised policy enforcement, and AI-powered threat intelligence. For example, FortiCloud reduces operational complexity, improves visibility, and protects data and users across distributed environments, securing access, applications and infrastructure. This is backed by growing hybrid-cloud infrastructure that addresses growing data sovereignty requirements by enabling organisations to keep data local through its globally distributed infrastructure.

Emerging signals

Quantum computing is the next frontier, advances of which

evolves the threat landscape at pace. Quantum computers can perform complex calculations at unprecedented speeds and can easily break current encryption standards. Cybercriminals are already storing encrypted traffic to decrypt in the future, with a particular focus on industries that handle highly sensitive data that remains relevant over long periods, such as telecommunications, financial services, government, and healthcare. Fortinet’s unified operation system, FortiOS, helps organisations with highly sensitive data deploy encryption algorithms and key distribution methods that can withstand quantum-powered attacks, stack algorithms for more robust protection, and easily transition to post-quantum security.

Trusted enterprise solutions

With the global political and

economic landscape rapidly evolving, organisations face a growing array of cybersecurity threats and compliance complexities. At the same time, local data protection regulations create strict requirements around data governance that organisations in the UAE must navigate.

Fortinet addresses these challenges with its Sovereign SASE solution, which allows organisations to securely connect and protect users, applications, and data, regardless of location. It guarantees that data resides and is processed within specific geographical boundaries, providing complete control over sensitive data complying with regional data regulations.

Looking ahead

Fortinet’s 2025 Threat Landscape Report reveals a dramatic escalation in both the scale and sophistication of cyberattacks. Data shows adversaries are moving faster than ever, automating reconnaissance, compressing the time between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation, and scaling their operations through the industrialisation of cybercrime. As the threat landscape broadens, what is needed is an additional layer of security to combat increased speed and complexity of attacks. This is where a Security Operation Centre (SOC) comes in. A SOC cybersecurity setup monitors each element of the infrastructure, assesses its current health, including potential and existing threats, and responds to threats. It performs much of what an on-site security operations team does. Coupled with powerful tools tightly integrated into the security fabric, such as FortiAI, attack surface management FortiRecon and early detection and isolator FortiDeceptor, means organisations have additional layers of defences against increasingly frequent and

tasks, like filtering, compression, encryption, or even AI inference, to occur where the data lives, rather than moving that data to separate compute resources. This seemingly simple shift could have profound implications for system architecture and performance, particularly in dataheavy environments.

One reason this trend flies under the radar is that it feels

niche or futuristic, something reserved for hyperscale data centres or HPC labs. But that perception is changing. As edge computing grows in importance and AI workloads become more widespread and decentralised, the ability to process data at the storage level is not only appealing, it’s becoming necessary. Imagine a smart factory or medical imaging system where every millisecond of latency or watt of energy matters. Computational storage enables faster decision-making, reduced energy consumption, and better real-time insights, all by sidestepping the traditional bottlenecks of data transfer.

From a business standpoint, this is about far more than performance. It opens the door to cost savings, system simplification, and even environmental benefits. Less data movement means less energy usage and lower hardware demands. For companies chasing sustainability goals or simply looking to trim infrastructure costs, this can be a quiet but powerful enabler. Moreover, companies who embrace computational storage early will be better positioned to adapt their architecture around this model, giving them a competitive edge as the technology matures.

Helping

enterprises innovate

Digital trust is the most valuable currency in the data marketplace. Implementing effective data backup best practices is crucial to ensuring that your work remains secure, accessible, and protected from threats like hardware failure, accidental deletion, or cyberattacks. To help our customers engage online with confidence, Lexar offers a comprehensive suite of cuttingedge memory solutions designed to simplify and enhance their backup process. Our DataVault software, for instance, provides automated backups with AES-256 encryption, ensuring customers’ confidential files are secure. Options like the Lexar JumpDrive Fingerprint

F35, meanwhile, use biometric authentication for enhanced security, allowing access to data through fingerprint recognition and hardware-based encryption. Furthermore, Lexar enhances data integrity in its memory products by incorporating technologies like error-correcting code (ECC) to ensure the accuracy of stored data, reducing the risk of data corruption and system crashes and maintaining system stability and reliability. By putting in place a robust, multilayered data security framework, we’re ensuring that our customers’ digital footprint is secure, giving them the peace of mind they need to focus on their core functions without having to worry about data loss or privacy breach. We are investing heavily in R&D to continue building on these innovations and bring next-generation data protection to customers.

Next driver of enterprise euccess

Lexar sees the growing demand for high-performance, scalable storage solutions, driven by AI, big data, and edge computing, as the key market shift that will most redefine enterprise success. As enterprises increasingly rely on data-intensive workflows, from real-time analytics to machine learning and cloudnative applications, the ability to access, move, and process large volumes of data quickly and reliably will become a critical differentiator. Lexar believes that success in this evolving landscape will hinge on how effectively organisations can leverage next-generation storage technologies, such as PCIe Gen 5 SSDs, NVMe architectures, and computational storage, to reduce latency, increase throughput, and optimise power efficiency. The shift toward intelligent, high-speed, and energy-efficient storage, capable of supporting AI workloads and decentralised infrastructure, will not only redefine IT architecture but also influence how businesses compete, innovate, and scale in the years ahead.

Sabir Salem, CEO, MBUZZ, on embedding cyber resilience and data sovereignty into every solution

AI, security, and sustainability in focus

This year, GITEX stands at the intersection of intelligence and infrastructure, and that’s precisely where MBUZZ operates. We’re bringing forward a vision of AI factories built for the age of data sovereignty, infrastructure that transforms raw data into meaningful, secure, and scalable intelligence.

Our showcase at GITEX 2025 focuses on AI-driven compute systems, data protection frameworks, and sustainable

hardware architectures that support both regional digital ambitions and global efficiency standards.

GITEX is not just a showcase for us; it’s a strategic dialogue with customers, governments, and ecosystem partners, a place where we shape the next era of enterprise transformation together.

Driving outcomes through cocreation

Technology today must prove its worth not in specifications but in outcomes, performance, resilience,

and time to value. At MBUZZ, we engage through co-creation models where we architect, validate, and optimise solutions alongside our customers and technology partners.

Our MBUZZ Labs initiative plays a key role here, providing a controlled environment to simulate workloads, benchmark performance, and tailor infrastructure for real-world efficiency.

This collaborative engineering approach ensures customers receive fully validated architectures, not just hardware or software, but a complete ecosystem ready to deliver quantifiable business impact.

Building scalable AI infrastructure

The challenges in scaling AI go far beyond algorithms, they lie in infrastructure readiness, data management and operational maturity. Enterprises often underestimate the complexity of building sustainable AI pipelines, from ingestion and labeling to training and inference orchestration.

Our approach is to provide AI infrastructure blueprints that unify compute, networking, storage, and data protection, ensuring low-latency data access, workload isolation, and scalability.

We collaborate closely with partners like NVIDIA for accelerated computing, and Acronis and Cloudmon for data protection and observability, creating AI environments that are both performant and governable.

From buzz to business value

The collision happens when digital transformation becomes a checklist instead of a continuum. We’ve seen organisations rush to adopt technologies without aligning them to measurable business value or operational sustainability.

The sharper path forward is architecture-led transformation, starting from the foundation up.

Leaders must think in terms of platforms, not projects, investing in interoperable systems that evolve with emerging workloads like AI, IoT, and real-time analytics.

Transformation is no longer about doing more with technology, it’s about building technology that does more with intelligence.

Rise of adaptive infrastructure

One critical shift that’s often underplayed is the rise of infrastructure intelligence, the ability for systems to self-optimise, self-heal, and dynamically allocate resources based on context.

While AI models get the headlines, intelligent infrastructure is the silent enabler of sustainable digital scale.

We’re investing heavily in this area, developing adaptive compute and monitoring frameworks through our partnerships and inhouse innovations at MBUZZ Labs.

As enterprises grapple with complexity, it’s this invisible intelligence layer, not just raw performance that will define the next era of IT efficiency and resilience.

Innovation with cyber resilience

Innovation without trust is unsustainable. We embed cyber resilience and data sovereignty as non-negotiable layers across every solution we deliver.

Through technologies like Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, we provide zero-trust backup, immutable storage, and AI-powered threat detection, ensuring that even the most advanced workloads remain verifiable and recoverable.

Complementing this, Cloudmon’s observability framework ensures enterprises maintain real-time visibility into their digital environments, enabling them to innovate securely while retaining full control over compliance and governance.

Our mission is to make security a driver of innovation, not a constraint to it.

From digital to intelligent

The defining shift will be the transition from digital transformation to intelligent transformation, where every system, process, and decision is enhanced by contextual intelligence. Success will no longer be defined by scale alone but by adaptability, transparency, and trust in how technology serves human outcomes.

For MBUZZ, that means continuing to build ecosystems that combine AI, cybersecurity, and data infrastructure, not as separate silos, but as an intelligent whole.

We believe the enterprises that thrive tomorrow will be those

“Our MBUZZ Labs initiative plays a key role here, providing a controlled environment to simulate workloads, benchmark performance, and tailor infrastructure for realworld efficiency”

that build technology as a living, learning organism, not just as a system.

TURNING EVIDENCE INTO CONFIDENCE

Basil Shahin, Regional Sales Director, Corelight, explores on how an evidence-centric, open-core approach is helping organisations to accelerate their digital transformation journeys

GITEX Global 2025: AI, data sovereignty, and sustainability

Our core message is that “Elite security practices start with open network evidence.” At GITEX, we showcase the convergence of this foundational evidence with the next generation of AI. Our key innovation is the Open NDR Platform’s GenAI-powered workflows. These capabilities deliver evidencebacked summaries and guided triage for the security operations centre (SOC), making advanced,

trustworthy threat detection accessible to all.

GITEX is vital for our regional strategy due to its focus on digital sovereignty and critical infrastructure. Our platform’s flexibility allows deployment on-premises, in the cloud UAE hosted, or hybrid, ensuring customers maintain full control over their network evidence, which is essential for adhering to local data sovereignty mandates. We provide the essential security foundation—the Ground Truth

network evidence—required to secure the region’s massive, AIdriven transformation initiatives.

Empowering partners with measurable value

We drive measurable business outcomes by enabling our customers and partners to effectively address the SOC triad: Visibility, Detection, and Response. We collaborate with technology partners like Google, Microsoft, Splunk, and CrowdStrike via deep, native integrations. Our Zeek network evidence is the Ground Truth data source for their platforms, which dramatically accelerates investigations.

By providing rich, forensic-quality evidence instantly, we enable analysts to significantly reduce their Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), resulting in accelerated incident response. Our GenAI-powered workflow and behavioral analytics act as a force multiplier, reducing alert noise and elevating junior analysts to perform like experienced defenders, thus increasing SOC efficiency.

As an open-core solution, our open architecture prevents vendor lock-in, guaranteeing long-term

value and flexibility by leveraging community-driven innovation, helping organisations future-proof their investments.

Tackling AI scalability and trust

The biggest hurdles enterprises face when scaling AI in security are Data Readiness and Analyst Trust. AI models are only as good as the data they consume, and analysts refuse to take high-stakes action based on “black box” recommendations.

We help by providing both the Ground Truth Foundation and an Explainable AI Workflow in one platform. The Ground Truth network evidence—the definitive telemetry from Zeek—forms the “AI-ready” foundation essential for training and validating high-fidelity models. Meanwhile, our GenAI-powered workflow directly addresses the trust issue by delivering evidencebacked summaries that show the analyst why an alert fired, linking the AI’s conclusion directly to specific network activity. This transparency allows for confident, mission-critical responses.

Rethinking digital transformation

The collision point is the false promise that digital transformation automatically equals better security. The reality is that rapid technology adoption has created vast, fragmented data silos, leading to pervasive tool sprawl and alert fatigue.

The sharper path is a Data-First, Evidence-Centric strategy. Leaders must standardise on Ground Truth network evidence (Zeek data) as the definitive source for security across all environments. They should consolidate their detection strategy by deploying an Open NDR Platform with a multi-layered approach— fusing machine learning, behavioral analytics, and curated signatures— on top of that unified evidence. This moves security beyond simply collecting logs to understanding and acting on the undisputed reality of attacker behavior.

“By providing rich, forensic-quality evidence instantly, we enable analysts to significantly reduce their Mean Time to Respond (MTTR), resulting in accelerated incident response”

The resurgence of the network

The most overlooked market signal is the Resurgence of the Network as the Undisputed, Uncorruptible Security Ground Truth. Advanced attackers are increasingly focused on lateral movement and using “Living off the Land” (LOTL) techniques to evade endpoint security. They can manipulate or disable agents, but they cannot erase the network’s record of their communications. Tech leaders must recognise that when all other data sources fail or are compromised, the forensic-quality network evidence is the only objective, Ground Truth record available to scope and contain an attack. Re-prioritising

network visibility is the necessary defence mechanism to secure a perimeterless world.

Building confidence through evidence

We help enterprises innovate confidently by making their security posture fundamentally evidencebased and aligned with Zero Trust principles. By providing complete, retrospective, forensic-quality network evidence, we give security teams the ability to prove whether a new service or AI pilot has been compromised. This certainty accelerates triage and allows the business to take calculated risks. Our platform is a core enabler of Zero Trust architectures. By continuously analysing Zeek telemetry, we provide the definitive behavioral context required to enforce least-privilege access and prove compliance with an auditable trail of all network activity. As an open-core NDR solution, we are committed to democratising elite security practices with transparent detection logic, fostering trust in the security programme itself.

From cybersecurity to cyber resilience

The trend that will most redefine enterprise success is the shift from Cybersecurity to Cyber Resilience, driven by the Democratisation of Elite Defense Practices. Enterprise success will no longer be defined by avoiding breaches, but by the speed, certainty, and cost of recovery. This requires making the advanced capabilities historically limited to highly-funded government and tech giants accessible to all. Our Open NDR Platform is leading this shift by packaging the sophisticated network visibility and behavioral detection strategies of the Zeek community, combining them with GenAIpowered workflows. This ability to detect and respond with precision, regardless of resource constraints, is what fundamentally enables Cyber Resilience and redefines enterprise success in the next decade.

processes, and AI that solves everything overnight. The reality? True transformation is messy, iterative, and human-centric. Many organisations invest in technology without aligning it to their business outcomes, workflows, or people, which leads to underutilised tools and missed opportunities.

The sharper path, in our view, is a consulting-led, outcome-focused approach. Technology leaders should start by understanding the real business challenges, mapping solutions to measurable impact, and embedding change management into every initiative. At Visiontech, we guide customers through this path helping them optimise costs, scale efficiently, and secure their digital journey.

The result is not just the adoption of technology, but a sustainable transformation that drives growth, efficiency, and resilience.

Human factor in digital transformation

One under-the-radar trend that often gets overlooked is the rising importance of human-centric cybersecurity and digital awareness. While everyone talks about AI, cloud, and automation, many enterprises underestimate how employee behaviour, awareness, and decisionmaking drive both risk and value in digital transformation. Security breaches, inefficient cloud usage, or failed AI initiatives often aren’t due to technology limitations, they’re due to people and process gaps.

with trust and responsibility. Enterprises today face intense scrutiny around security, compliance, and data governance, and the stakes are higher than ever. At Visiontech, we help organisations innovate confidently by embedding risk management and compliance into the strategy, not just as an afterthought.

We guide customers on secure cloud adoption, regulatory alignment, and cyber resilience. Our approach ensures that every solution, from AI to cloud infrastructure, is optimised for performance, secure by design, and aligned to business objectives. By combining technology expertise, ecosystem partnerships, and human-centric advisory, we enable enterprises to move fast, innovate boldly, and manage risk responsibly.

Future belongs to responsible innovators

Looking ahead, the trend that will most redefine enterprise success is the fusion of intelligence, security, and sustainability. Enterprises that can leverage AI and automation, while ensuring data sovereignty, cyber resilience, and responsible technology use, will separate themselves from the rest. Success will no longer be just about speed or scale, it will be about trustworthy, sustainable, and adaptable digital operations.

from an experiment into a driver of measurable business value. By combining technology, strategy, and human expertise, we help enterprises scale AI confidently, securely, and sustainably.

Cutting through the hype to real transformation
