Join us for Deskflix Season 2! 


Cloud comes in many flavours – public, private, hybrid, multi-cloud, cloud native. But what these models all share is their colossal ability to automate manual tasks. With the cloud model, you can spin up a huge number of identical VMs in a tiny fraction of the time and cost of provisioning their physical equivalents. Cloud-based monitoring tools can crunch petabytes of data from thousands of different sources to provide an unparalleled systems overview, and of course, this data can also feed the machine learning models that power AI solution in security, event response, automated service provision, NLP, predictive analytics and much more.


Cloud is automation writ large, only restricted by our imaginations. Join us on 19 September for Deskflix: Cloud Automation, in which we’ll be taking a look at what’s coming in areas including Cyber security, operational technology, robotic process automation, automated service management, IoT, and more.

Automation in the cloud: an industry snapshot

Cloud computing moves manual processes into the remit of machines, but that doesn't remove the need for people, rather their roles change as the process evolves. Computing's research has tracked this process for more than a decade, from simple cloud storage security to complex edge and hybrid setups and this session will reveal the current state of play.

Presentation: Using Cloud-Powered AI to Fight against Targeted Phishing Attacks. Can You?

Generative AI could play an important role for organisations looking to prevent cyber attacks in the future. Large language models used by generative AIs like ChatGPT and Bard could prove effective at learning the staff's language styles, and be deployed to detect unusual activity coming from their accounts. In this session we'll dig into the practicalities of using AI for cyber defence.

Panel Discussions: How cloud can help or hurt your ESG efforts?

Whether it’s creating more eco-friendly operations, committing to diversity and inclusion, taking part in climate change initiatives or other efforts, businesses are making environmental, social and governance (ESG) programs a priority. At the same time, companies are increasing their use of cloud services, with many creating multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments as part of their ongoing digital transformations. So we are asking can cloud help enterprises achieve their ESG goals?
