Three focus areas: platform, security, and AI

The event provides a comprehensive overview of the connections between corporate network performance, modern cybersecurity, and AI readiness through three interrelated thematic sessions. Each session offers independent, immediately applicable professional value.

The Cloudflare Connectivity Cloud

An overview of the Connectivity Cloud platform vision, Cloudflare’s global network, and its presence in Hungary and the region. This section explains how the network architecture supports traffic acceleration, stability, and resilience in an enterprise environment.

Technical Overview

A practical look at defending against large-scale attacks, with a particular focus on DDoS protection, WAF, and bot management. The session will then shift its focus to Cloudflare Zero Trust’s key capabilities, latest innovations, and the path from legacy VPN solutions to a Zero Trust architecture.

Security in the Age of AI

Current market trends and corporate security challenges in light of the rapid proliferation of AI. This session explains how Cloudflare supports the protection of AI applications and data security—for example, through AI Gateway—as well as the transparent monitoring of AI usage. The closing presentation will address what “AI readiness” actually means and what platform foundations make it achievable at the enterprise level.

Program

A morning session covering everything from network performance to AI security, featuring experts from Cloudflare, Clico, and Gloster. Each session offers its own professional value, and together they provide a comprehensive overview of the most important issues in modern enterprise infrastructure.
