Building Resilient Automation: The 8 C’s of Data Quality
I'm presenting at this BrightTALK session on Sep 29 2026, 1:00pm BST

Automation initiatives often fail not because of technology, but due to unreliable data. Missing fields, inconsistent definitions and outdated spreadsheets create cracks in operational processes, leading to failed workflows and costly disruptions. For IT Operations, these issues mean constant firefighting instead of driving innovation, leaving businesses exposed to inefficiencies and risks.

Building resilient automation systems requires more than just advanced tools. It demands a strong data foundation. Poor data quality undermines automation efforts, creating brittle systems that can’t adapt to real-world complexities. For business leaders, this challenge also presents an opportunity: by addressing data quality issues early, organizations can unlock the full potential of intelligent automation, reduce risks and drive sustainable growth.

Join me to explore how the "8 C’s of Data Quality" can help you future-proof your automation strategies.
Key Takeaways:
- Identify the hidden risks poor data quality poses to automation and AIOps initiatives.
- Learn how to spot and address common failure points in your data foundation.
- Discover actionable strategies to build resilient, scalable automation systems
- Explore how IT leaders can turn data quality challenges into business opportunities.
- Gain insights into real-world examples of successful automation transformations

Agree with the commentary from @HedgieMarkets below. I'd just add that the frozen food market tends to serve people on lower budgets, so it will impact the most vulnerable.

🦔Hackers hit supermarket freezers again overnight, this time across Belgium, Sweden and a handful of other European countries. They remotely switched units into defrost mode and pushed them as high as 50°C, ruining frozen stock at chains like Delhaize and Coop. It’s the same kind of attack that hit about 700 stores in France three weeks ago. Many of the targeted controllers are old, internet-exposed models that no longer get security updates.

My Take
Hackers have moved past stolen passwords and into the physical world. Last year one attack shut Jaguar Land Rover’s factories for about five weeks, and now grocery freezers are fair game. Every system that went online to save on staff added another way in, and companies keep adding more, all the way down to AI agents that log into accounts for you. AI also makes the attacker’s job faster and cheaper, so I don’t see this slowing down.

Security turns into a cost every business pays one way or another, either upfront or after the disaster. I think the companies that kept a manual backup (someone who can walk over and check the freezer) look a lot smarter over the next few years.
