Thank you for joining us at the Zero Outage Executive Summit.
We’d love to hear your thoughts to make future events even better.
Zero outage in railways is becoming a key goal for the future of rail operations. It requires not only strong and reliable system design, but also smooth coordination between national networks. This keynote explores the technical building blocks of fault-free railway service—such as redundant system architectures, predictive diagnostics, cybersecurity protection, and real-time monitoring—supported by close European collaboration.
Through joint work led by UNISIG, ERA, UNIFE, and EJRU, the rail industry is aligning on shared standards to ensure consistent performance across borders. Reaching zero outage is a complex challenge that involves managing systems over their full lifecycle, and driving digital transformation across the European rail ecosystem.
Why “empathy” matters in IT security and resilience—especially now with AI.
A brief keynote on an operating principle that cuts friction and speeds the return to stability.
Technology platforms are the foundation on which all IT services are delivered. They require detailed architecture policies to guarantee the levels of resilience, security, availability and performance required to support the Zero Outage quality goals – all of which is well-covered by the Zero Outage Industry Standard. The Standard also redefines the traditional ‘run’ activities as ones able to ‘anticipate and prevent issues before they disrupt a production environment’.
But…
Join Iosif Itkin, co-CEO and co-founder of Exactpro, at the ZOIS Summit for a discussion on Introducing AI into the ZOIS Platforms stream.

In 2024, DBConcepts successfully thwarted a targeted hacker attack – detected early, countered decisively, and with zero data loss.
At the Zero Outage Summit, Klaus-Michael Hatzinger will share exclusive insights: what exactly happened, how his team responded, and the concrete measures you can implement to be prepared when it matters most.
„Angriff erkannt – Schaden verhindert“
2024 konnte DBConcepts einen gezielten Hackerangriff erfolgreich abwehren. Frühzeitig entdeckt, entschlossen reagiert – und am Ende ohne Datenverlust.
In seiner Session beim Zero Outage Summit gibt Klaus-Michael Hatzinger exklusive Einblicke: Was genau passiert ist, wie das Team vorgegangen ist und welche konkreten Maßnahmen Sie selbst umsetzen können, um im Ernstfall vorbereitet zu sein.
What if just five seconds of silence could stop payments, ground planes, or block access to vital medical records? In today’s hyper-connected world, a brief outage can break trust — and trust is the foundation of every business.
In his keynote “When Five Seconds Change Everything,” Peter Lenz explores the fragility of our digital world, the true cost of failure, and why resilience and reliability have become the new currency. He shows how standards, sovereignty, and leadership are essential to protect trust and why outages are not just a technical issue, but a business and leadership challenge.
“The Dark Side of AI – The Dark Side of Splendor” – the risks associated with artificial intelligence, how criminals exploit AI for their sinister schemes, and our secret weapons in the fight against AI-powered villains.
Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries at lightning speed — but resilience, security, and human trust remain the decisive factors for . This C-level panel brings together leaders from technology, human resources and security to explore how organizations can balance innovation with reliability and responsibility.
From workforce transformation to the safe deployment of AI in mission-critical environments, our experts will share practical insights and bold perspectives on how to build resilient, future-ready IT landscapes. Expect a candid discussion at the intersection of talent, trust, and technology — the three pillars shaping the future of AI-enabled business.
In an era of accelerating digital transformation, financial institutions face increasing pressure to deliver secure, uninterrupted services while navigating a minefield of cyber risks, regulatory requirements, and evolving customer expectations. From traditional banks to cutting-edge fintechs, building resilient IT infrastructures has become a core strategic imperative.
This high-level panel brings together leaders from across the financial ecosystem—banking, clearing, cybersecurity, and financial software—to discuss how resilience is redefined in a digitized and decentralized world. The conversation will cover:
The discussion will dive into resilience-by-design, cyber risk frameworks, supply chain robustness, and the role of cloud, AI, and automation in strengthening financial IT systems.
Attendees can expect a thought-provoking exchange between institutions with decades of history and digital-native challengers, uncovering common goals, divergent tactics, and shared threats.
“The hype surrounding AI and machine learning is at its peak. ChatGPT, launched publicly at the end of 2022, now has 180m subscribers and dominates the airwaves, but there are now hundreds of publicly available large-language models (LLMs) and open-source AI tools available for you to experiment with.
Companies are scrambling to incorporate AI into their software products. For example, Microsoft Copilot is the AI component in 365 used by 400m users. Test tool vendors are no exception. Every test tool now seems to have the AI added in some form. Clearly, vendors have found opportunities to use AI – mostly LLMs – to introduce, enhance or speed up various features in their products.
These enhancements are mostly ad-hoc or opportunistic improvements to, cynically, ‘catch the wave’. There are some speculative, lifecycle, visionary or proof-of-concept products emerging, but there’s no guarantee they will become the standard. There’s no overall vision of what AI could do for test engineers.
Paul has always argued that the users of testing products should be setting the agenda for test tool vendors, or we will get what vendors can build not what we need.
He uses his New Model for Testing – a model of tester thought processes – to set out functional areas that best support our thinking. If AI is to be an intelligent and productive assistant, it needs to be in tune with how we actually approach the problem of testing. This talk argues that testers will never get what they want unless they steer vendors away from test execution-is-all attitudes and articulate their true needs.”
He will bring us an account of the history of Engineering at iFood and how some initiatives were crucial to reaching 100 million orders per month.
Are you struggling with many different customer requirements to fulfill? In this breakout session information and insights will be provided about how T-Systems is utilizing its Enterprise Security Architecture for Reliable ICT Services (ESARIS) and ZOIS Security to overcome constantly raising requirements by customers, based on increasing regulation, legislation, industry standards and best practices in the field of information security and IT security. In concrete, solutions concepts will be provided, how those challenges are going to be tackled.
Join us as we explore how AI is reshaping the workforce and what it means for people in the Zero Outage environment. In this interactive session, we’ll dive into how AI can support continuous improvement, enhance critical competencies, and drive productivity—while addressing the ethical balance between human expertise and automation. How will AI augment your team? What challenges will we face together? Let’s find out!
