PRO Session: From Hype to Impact: Cracking the Code on AI ROI

Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

AI DevWorld MAIN STAGE

Nabil Bukhari, Extreme Networks, Chief Product & Technology Officer, EVP, GM Subscription Business

In the race to adopt AI, even experienced business leaders can find themselves focusing too much on the technology itself, leading to less-than-optimal results. AI isn’t just about algorithms, machine learning, and large language models - it’s about the meaningful impact it can deliver when applied strategically. Nabil Bukhari, CTO and GM of subscriptions at Extreme Networks, the world’s fastest growing cloud networking company, offers a fresh perspective on AI strategy—one that prioritizes real outcomes over flashy applications.

In this session, Nabil will present the ARC Framework, a proven approach that guides organizations (A)ccelerating existing processes, (R)eplacing outdated systems, and (C)reating valuable new experiences, all to ensure AI investments drive measurable business impact.

This framework took shape during the development of Extreme Platform One, one of Extreme’s most ambitious projects to date. In a world where 80% of AI projects fail, Extreme Platform One stands out for simplifying complex network management and delivering tangible value to organizations of all sizes. The ARC Framework highlights that AI itself is not the innovation - it’s how we apply it strategically to create meaningful outcomes. Learn actionable strategies to avoid common pitfalls, like chasing hype or low-impact use cases, and harness AI’s true potential to drive transformation in your business.

This is a must-attend for anyone looking to integrate AI in a way that optimizes AI investments, complements their organization’s culture, solves actual business challenges, and positions them for lasting impact. Join us to explore how you can lead AI-driven change with purpose and impact.

PRO Session: AI Frontiers: Shielding Digital Gateways from Bot Invasions

Thursday February 13, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PST

AI DevWorld MAIN STAGE

Parth Shukla, Cequence Security, Security Analyst
Khyati Ganatra, Cequence Security, Manager, Applied ML

In the presentation titled "AI Frontiers: Shielding Digital Gateways from Bot Invasions," we delve into the forefront of cyber defense against bot-driven threats that exploit API vulnerabilities. This comprehensive study explores how advanced AI and ML models are being harnessed to fortify digital defenses, offering a detailed analysis of API communication patterns and the evolving landscape of bot attacks. Through a series of real-world case studies, we illuminate the mechanisms of sophisticated bot strategies—ranging from data breaches and account takeovers to shopping bots that deplete inventories. The narrative progresses to unveil how AI/ML technologies serve as the cornerstone of innovative defense mechanisms. We dissect the architecture of AI-driven systems tailored to detect and counteract anomalous behaviors indicative of bot activities, leveraging vast datasets to train ML models that adeptly differentiate between legitimate user interactions and malicious bot intrusions. The discussion further navigates through the technical and operational nuances of implementing AI/ML defenses, emphasizing predictive analytics for preemptive action, machine learning for dynamic threat adaptation, and the overarching impact of such technologies in securing digital ecosystems against the insidious threats posed by automated attacks. This presentation not only highlights the challenges but also showcases the resilience and adaptability of AI/ML solutions in the ever-evolving battle against digital villains.
