LeeShanok is bringing you an all-new Lunch Bytes and IT Insights: Network Resiliency in the AI Age! We’re bringing together the Phoenix IT community for an early afternoon of fun, networking, and AI education!
AI presents an exciting new frontier for businesses! But is your network ready for AI? Picture this: you’ve developed a suite of AI agents, all humming along, executing their tasks in record time! Then your Internet goes out and your agents suddenly grind to a halt.
Maybe you’ve given AI access to your Sharepoint environment, but you didn’t configure your permissions properly. Now anyone with a company Claude account can access the whole org’s payroll data just by asking nicely.
Before the fun of implementing AI at scale can begin, we need to make sure the basics are covered. Connectivity and security are at the heart of AI-focused designs. Learn how you can set that foundation!
