SUMMARY:The Enterprise AI Reality Check: Trust\, Security\, and Operational Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:AI has captured the attention of virtually every enterprise. Yet many organizations continue to struggle with a critical question: Can AI be trusted to make recommendations in complex\, mission-critical mainframe environments? \nThe answer extends beyond model performance. Trust is built when AI can understand operational reality\, provide meaningful context\, help teams investigate issues\, prioritize actions\, and make decisions with confidence. Security\, governance\, and explainability ensure those recommendations can be trusted and acted upon. \nJoin host Amanda Hendley of Planet Mainframe\, Steven Dickens of Hyperframe Research and Tim Willging of Rocket Software for a candid conversation on the realities of enterprise AI adoption. Together\, they’ll examine where organizations are finding tangible business value today\, why operational intelligence is emerging as an ideal starting point for enterprise AI initiatives\, and how trust\, security\, and explainability are shaping the next generation of AI-powered decision support.

SUMMARY:Virtual CICS User Group | CICS Security Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Many CICS environments continue to rely heavily on transaction-level security\, often resulting in users retaining access privileges that are no longer appropriate for their current roles. This session will provide an end-to-end overview of the CICS Security Discovery workflow and demonstrate how the tooling can help organizations better understand and modernize security configurations within production CICS regions. Attendees will learn how Security Discovery analyzes existing security definitions and production usage patterns to identify user roles\, application access\, command usage\, and resource permissions. The session will also include a live demonstration of the Security Discovery Explorer Editor and show how organizations can generate actionable to-do lists to support security modernization and zero trust initiatives. \nSpeaker: John Taylor\, IBMJohn Taylor is a CICS TS developer based at the Hursley labs in the UK. \nRegister Here!
