Executive briefing
Two to three hours for CIOs, CISOs, and IT and security leaders. You leave with a shared view of the risks and options and a recommended next step.
Workshops
Start with a workshop
Every Silex engagement can start with a workshop. Hands-on labs run in a dedicated cloud workspace for each attendee, so nothing needs to be installed. Facilitated workshops end with a written roadmap.
Formats
Three ways in
Discovery workshop
A half day to one day with leaders and platform, security, and operations leads. You receive a current-state assessment, prioritized use cases, and a written roadmap.
Hands-on lab
One day for 15 to 50 engineers, each in a dedicated cloud workspace. Attendees keep working configurations in Git.

AI and MCP governance
MCP Security and Governance with Kong
Build an MCP server, see the main MCP attack patterns live, then govern the server with OIDC, tool-level access control, token exchange, and audit logging.
MCP Security and Governance on OpenShift
The same MCP foundations, governed by the MCP Gateway in Red Hat Connectivity Link with per-tool authorization, token exchange, and per-identity rate limits.
Governing LLM Traffic with the Kong AI Gateway
Add failover, semantic and cost-based routing, token budgets, prompt guards, managed guardrails, and semantic caching to model traffic one step at a time.
AI Governance for Leaders
AI usage inventory, NIST AI RMF, OWASP guidance for LLM and agentic applications, and a reference architecture for an AI control plane.
Governed AI Coding Assistants
Roll out Claude Code and similar assistants through an AI gateway with SSO, model tiers by group, token budgets, and audit logging.
Agentic operations
Agentic Operations Discovery Workshop
Map operational pain points, assess current state, and leave with a roadmap that sets a target autonomy level for each workflow.
Agentic Operations with Ansible and AI
Build the full loop: Event-Driven Ansible, an agent that investigates read-only through MCP, human approval, and Ansible execution with verification.
Automation and platform engineering
Ansible Automation Platform
Choose the Linux, Network, or Windows track. Every track covers automation content in Git, execution environments, secrets management, and Event-Driven Ansible.
OpenShift
Choose the Developers track (build, deploy, pipelines, GitOps) or the Administrators track (install, access control, networking, storage, operators, upgrades).
Applied AI and model serving
Building and Evaluating AI Agents and RAG
Tool use over MCP, retrieval, model serving, and an evaluation section that tests context precision, faithfulness, and tool-call accuracy.
Serving and Sizing Open Models with vLLM on OpenShift AI
Serve small and large open models, size GPU memory for weights and KV cache, compare precisions, and benchmark against latency targets.
Infrastructure and cyber resilience
AI Infrastructure Planning Workshop
Workloads, tenancy, power and cooling limits, fabric and storage options, platform software, and lead times, ending in a phased build plan.
Ransomware Recovery Workshop
A tabletop exercise and architecture session on isolated recovery, the recovery lifecycle, testing tiers, and a rating on the five-level Cyber Recovery Maturity Model.
