How do you develop custom enterprise AI applications? Do you need a data science platform? A machine learning (ML) platform? An AI platform? Are these platforms even different? We believe there are key differences, but there is also substantial overlap in capabilities. To add to the confusion, some vendors use all of these terms interchangeably to describe their platform offering. In this webinar, we define these terms, identify the overlap, and enumerate the spectrum of capabilities between ML platforms and AI platforms.
Key takeaways:
Target audience level: intermediate and advanced
Vendors mentioned: C3.ai, DataRobot, Google, IBM, and Microsoft.

The CISO is the arbiter of confidence and protection for the business in a world of geopolitical strife and shifting allegiances; regulatory hurdles and changes to AI and tech; quickly emerging and changing technologies in generative AI (genAI); and constantly evolving cybercriminal activity, including deepfakes. In 2025, five threats will affect security teams more than any other: global regulatory disruptions, high-quality deepfakes, tech exuberance over genAI, job loss radicalization, and genAI-driven extortion. Security pros need to prepare in advance.Key takeaways: Global regulatory disruptions: Data-related policies, regulations, and standards are becoming less aligned between domains and across countries.High-quality deepfakes: Attackers are increasingly using deepfakes because of their ability to cast doubt on security, trust in the media, and brand reputation. Deepfakes impact verification and authentication for almost every user group, including customers, business partners, and workforce members.Tech exuberance over genAI: Enterprise adoption of genAI continues to accelerate as models proliferate, training costs come down, and deployment options increase. But tech and security leaders are learning hard lessons about how different models behave — and the work required to make them secure — as new models emerge.Job loss radicalization: A new economic reality has emerged in 2025 with a flurry of activity that saw job cuts to 4% of the US federal government workforce, massive tech layoffs, and job cuts in Europe. Employees who remain after layoffs are not happy.GenAI-driven extortion: Between continued law enforcement disruption of ransomware gangs and enterprises’ greater focus on business resilience and data backups, ransomware became less lucrative for cybercriminals in 2024. Before genAI, stealing data was only so useful — reviewing millions of emails takes far too much time. Now, with genAI, attackers can perform a quick sentiment analysis on troves of stolen data for extortion schemes.Target audience level: intermediate

The ITIL™ framework has been a mainstay of IT operational discipline, emerging as an authoritative inventory of key IT practices in the mid-1990s and enjoying broad adoption through the mid-2000s. But the Version 3 rewrite proposed an unworkable process-centric operating model that leading organizations bypassed in favor of DevOps and related approaches. While Version 4 made some necessary adjustments, the framework is now wholly owned by PeopleCert, who have shut out longstanding partners and increased costs for those seeking to gain or maintain certification. IT professionals have more effective and current guidance available.Key takeaways: Understand why now is the time to find alternative approaches to managing services.Understand the dynamics that are influencing the future of IT service management.Target audience level: intermediate
