Join this roundtable discussion where we’ll move beyond the sandbox and explore how to take generative AI from experimentation to real-world impact. With only 4% of organisations fully maturing their AI applications – and 50% still in pilot or planning stages – now is the time to get practical. Learn how the Boomi Practical AI platform helps businesses streamline the entire AI lifecycle, from data readiness and compliance to optimisation and deployment, while gaining actionable insights, debating with peers, and discovering how to harness AI to drive genuine innovation and efficiency.
Key takeaways:
• Overcoming common roadblocks to AI deployment

But how does the dream of an Autonomous SOC play out in the real world of security operations? Is 2025 the year that Agentic AI and Hyperautomation saves the SOC?
