AI can deliver real value to organizations when they can understand how their processes actually work. Process mining provides this foundation by reconstructing and analyzing data from executions of actual processes, revealing how the work is performed, where inefficiencies are, and where improvement is possible.

This session introduces the basic ideas behind process mining and presents how it is already being applied across the country and how it is already delivering value by improving operations, compliance, and decision-making.

This session will also present the current research frontier of process mining and cybersecurity, where processes provide a new perspective on detecting anomalous behavior, identifying vulnerabilities, and strengthening organizational resilience.

Key takeaway: For organizations to successfully apply AI, they need to start by understanding their underlying processes and hence where AI can deliver actual value. Such an understanding is delivered by process mining, and its application to cybersecurity represents the new research frontier.

This session is part of DTU's Industrial AI Program: From Artificial Intelligence to Industrial Intelligence at Digital Tech Summit 2026. Through a series of connected sessions, DTU brings together leading research and industry perspectives to explore how AI is reshaping products, processes, and operations across the industrial landscape.
