Security Field Day 16 takes place October 28–30 in Silicon Valley, focusing on autonomous AI agent security, zero-trust architectures, and post-quantum preparedness.
Sessions kick off daily at 8:00 AM PT, featuring presentations from @Fortinet, @Dell, and @CiscoSecure on Wednesday; @HPE_Storage, @HPE_Networking, and @ForwardNetworks on Thursday; and @awscloud alongside @aviatrixtrc on Friday.
The event streams live on the @TechFieldDay website, @TechstrongTV, LinkedIn Live, and YouTube, with audience participation hosted across social media.

The modern internet operates on the implicit assumption that every secure connection can be trusted, but that entire foundation is only as strong as the Certificate Authorities signing the keys.
In this episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast ahead of Security Field Day 16, host Tom Hollingsworth joins delegates Kate Scarcella, Chris Hayner, and Jody Lemoine to break down the catastrophic fallout of insecure signing keys and the systemic flaws in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

The era of focusing solely on massive GPU training clusters is over—the real enterprise networking battlefield has officially shifted to distributed inference.
For this takeaway, Tom Hollingsworth discusses how disaggregated inference architectures are transforming data center fabrics by requiring high-speed networks to shuffle model working memory, or the KV cache, between specialized accelerators.

With AI inference now commanding over 80% of modern enterprise workloads, overcoming GPU memory constraints and Key-Value (KV) cache bottlenecks has become the ultimate infrastructure imperative.
At AI Field Day 9, DDN presenters Eric Wright and Scott Ekstrom showcased how DDN tackles these challenges head-on by transforming flash storage into an intelligent, low-latency extension of GPU memory with DDN Infinia.

AI agents may dominate enterprise networking roadmaps, but NetOps teams are keeping them on a strictly read-only leash.
For this takeaway, Tom Hollingsworth discusses how vendors at Networking Field Day 41 heavily showcased Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, yet stopped short of autonomous remediation due to missing pre-change validation and simulation tooling.
While external agent interfaces are largely standardized, widespread adoption hinges on whichever vendor bridges the trust gap first with verified, closed-loop changes.

Scaling AI from experimental prototypes to mission-critical enterprise production demands more than disconnected tools—it requires a unified, continuous feedback loop.
At AI Field Day 9, CoreWeave presenters Shane Robbins, David Corbitt, Nisha Nadkarni, Angela Samples, and Russ Ratshin showcased CoreWeave Forge, an integrated environment designed to bridge the gap across the entire AI lifecycle: run, observe, curate, improve, and evaluate.

In this episode of Tech Field Day Takeaways, Tom Hollingsworth breaks down the three biggest themes from Networking Field Day 41.
While AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) dominated presentations from vendors like Cisco, HPE, OpsMill, and SevenSignal, the industry remains firmly locked in "read-only" mode.

The era of designing networks purely around massive AI training clusters is quickly giving way to a far more complex challenge: disaggregated inference.
As production workloads shift toward passing distributed KV cache memory across clusters of accelerators, skyrocketing bandwidth demands are accelerating per-GPU networking toward 1.6T alongside the rollout of fanless, liquid-cooled switches.
