As AI adoption accelerates, the question is no longer if you’ll scale—but how to do it securely and strategically.

Join us for an exclusive AI Roundtable in Riyadh, where we’ll explore the findings from the newly released 2025 State of AI Application Strategy Report, featuring the AI Readiness Index—a practical framework to benchmark your organization’s maturity and identify critical gaps in governance, security, and infrastructure.

What you’ll gain:

  • Insights from 150 AI decision-makers and 650 IT leaders worldwide
  • Five strategic, actionable recommendations to align your AI strategy for the future
  • A clear view of how your organization compares—and where to focus next

Key findings include:

  • Only 2% of organizations are fully AI-ready
  • 65% use multiple AI models, increasing their attack surface
  • Just 72% have deployed or plan to deploy an AI firewall this year

Get a chance to have a chat with F5’s Global AI Leader, Vincent Lavergne, and Field CTO & RVP of Solutions Architecture, Bart Salaets.
