Changing how 10 people work is difficult, changing how 100 work is very difficult. And, barring Planck's principle, changing how 5,000 or more people work is, typically, impossible. When it comes to improving how large organisations build, release, and run software, scaling to thousands of people is the real challenge. If you're trying to move beyond your initial success at transforming how your organisation builds and runs software, you've experienced this scaling challenge. Thankfully, most of the problems in this challenge are common challenges. Though you may feel cursed and alone, in our experience talking with hundreds of organisations, most of the problems are the same. 

In this third, final, part of our Path to Production webinar series we'll look at several of these common challenges and give tactics to address them. Part of applying a tactic successfully is understanding why the challenge exists.  

We'll cover: 

Building confidence and trust in change by shifting how you build your developer-centric infrastructure from service delivery to product management. 

Platform advocacy and marketing. Do you have a t-shirt for your platform yet? If not, better get one! 

Engineering and managing the roll-out of changes to large organisations. 

Our goal is to give you practical, usable tactics and management tools that we've learned first-hand and from other large organisations.

Digital transformation not only involves acceleration of operational velocity with faster deployment of software services, but also requires securing cloud configurations in increasingly complex environments. Identity is the new perimeter. Poor access management practices and entitlement creep often lead to risky access conditions, which can be exploited by cybercriminals to move laterally between cloud resources and cause a security breach. Minimizing risk in cloud environments requires a unified security strategy that enables continuous automated monitoring of compliance risk due to known configuration mistakes and excess permissions granted to cloud resources.
 
During this webinar, you will learn from an IDC expert about:
- Challenges in entitlement management
- How you can reduce entitlement risk in the cloud
- How VMware Tanzu Guardrails can help you reduce unnecessary and excess privileges

Here is a secret: tools are incredibly important to improving how your organisation develops software. There are plenty of tech tools that can improve how you build, deploy, and run software: containers, cloud, microservices, automated security scanning, whatever serverless is, and on and on. The tools people struggle with are tools of the mind, "thought technologies." If you need to improve how your organisation builds and delivers software, you're in for a fun ride learning and installing new cloud native technologies, but also learning and installing many new thought technologies.  

In this second part of our Path to Production webinar series, we'll cover the new processes and ways of thinking that you'll be "installing" when you're transforming how your organisation does software. We've all read the same books and threads that describe what the ideal end state looks like, but we haven't read enough practical descriptions of how new processes work and why they're a good fit for cloud native technologies. 

We'll cover: 
 
- Creating the strategy, vision, and business case for change, as learned from organizations that have done it successfully…and not so successfully. 

- Using techniques like OGSM and path to production mapping to pinpoint and plan for changes. 

- How development and operations needs to change to take advantage of cloud native platforms.

The People Side of Building the Path to Production

Our world is constantly connected through technology, while the use of public clouds helps connect us, it also introduced many complexities to our platform engineers and their teams.

Have you ever wanted more from your message broker? Is your message broker holding back the expansion of your applications? Or maybe you're not sure if a message broker could handle the amount of data your environment might throw at it. What if you have a conventional message topology today with queues and exchanges but are concerned that to add streaming you would have to throw this all away and start again? How can the two technologies live happily side by side in the same message broker? Is Apache Kafka really the only streaming message broker out there? What do you do if you want high performance as well as low latency AND guaranteed message delivery surely that's like asking for 'the moon on a stick'.

To stop CVEs from wreaking havoc on their business, enterprise security leaders have come a long way in addressing security breaches at the perimeter, and adopting novel concepts like Zero Trust, DevSecOps, shift-left security, and SASE to name a few. 

However, while reducing mean time to recovery (MTTR), shrinking your vulnerability backlog and treating vulnerability persistence  are critical, they treat security as an outcome; that’s not enough.  Meanwhile, IT security teams are still perceived as hindering innovation in the name of safety and governance. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In today’s distributed, cloud native ecosystems, security must be integrated into your app dev and delivery process.

We believe when treated properly, IT security can accelerate your app dev and delivery process. Focusing on security-enabling outcomes and making security an integrated and continuous part of the application lifecycle - from the first line of code to an app running in production - allows your application developers and platform engineering teams to deliver secure, value-producing, software more quickly. 

Join VMware Tanzu field CISO, David Zendzian and special guest Forrester Principal Analyst Sandy Carielli for a discussion about:  
- (Re)Defining security enabling outcomes
- Addressing increased security attacks on APIs, containers, and distributed/cloud native systems  
- Making the business case for embedding security during early stage innovation and integrating it into your app dev and delivery process
- How to ensure security is continuous and invisible to your devs and end-users

Security is not an outcome - stop treating it like one!
