Your IT environment becomes increasingly complex as a result of the proliferation of devices and the adoption of hybrid multi-cloud architectures. This makes it more susceptible to security vulnerabilities. 

Consequently, each aspect of the IT infrastructure should be reviewed and optimised for better performance and higher security.  Load balancers, traditionally used to balance PC-based servers, have evolved to now play a pivotal role in the overall optimization of IT infrastructure.   

How can you effectively evaluate your existing load balancing setup and efficiently implement changes to adapt to the modern dynamic digital landscape?  Join this webinar to learn more. 

Key Topics: 
- Signs that it’s time to assess your current load balancing strategy 
- 5 steps that will help you review your application and load balancing requirements 
- Vendor selection criteria and comparisons 
- How to start optimising 
- Getting the help that you need  

Our subject matter expert Henry Kay, who has been helping enterprises across Asia Pacific to optimize their load balancing strategies, will provide valuable insights to guide you in performing a strategy assessment and learn to make informed decisions that will maximize the return on your infrastructure investment.

The first 48 hours of incidents response is the most critical. We will explain few important steps that need to be taken to mitigate the impact on service availability, information systems integrity and data confidentiality. The cyber resilience is also covered by the individual national regulations and directives, so let's take a closer look at it and explain why principles of Network Detection and Response shall be a crucial part of technical measures implementation for regulated entities.

The First 48 Hours of Ransomware Incident Response

As organizations increasingly rely on Kubernetes clusters for hosting applications, implementing security best practices is more critical than ever to prevent breaches and maintain Kubernetes security posture. However, managing and securing these clusters can be challenging due to their dynamic architecture. 

To help you address this challenge, join our cloud security experts for a webinar focused on how Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) can help you protect your cloud infrastructure. 

Our experts will cover everything you need to know about Kubernetes Security, including how it works and how to use it to secure your cloud infrastructure.
Agenda:
- The state of Kubernetes, what KSPM is and how it secures cloud infrastructure
- Learn how to use Chef enables KSPM to perform security scans as part of automated DevSecOps workflows
- Discover best practices for securing container and cloud-native environments
- Demo

Secure your Cloud Infrastructure with Kubernetes Security Posture Management

Microsoft research shows that 80% of security breaches are caused by configuration management issues. 

OWASP has recognized the importance by moving security misconfiguration up in their top 10 list. 

Why? Because misconfiguration can happen at any level within the application stack – web server, app server, database, OS, VMs, containers, etc. And also, in any location – cloud or on-premise servers, edge, etc. 

Our technical experts will dive into the following topics:

-Understanding how security misconfigurations can affect your organization
-Assessing your applications' compliance with security and governance policies before pushing changes to build and release pipelines
-Scanning and reporting on any system, regardless of how it was configured 
-Balancing the need for speed while meeting security and compliance requirements
-Share some best practices tips while implementing Compliance Management

5 Best Practices for Mitigating Configuration Risks for DevOps

Ransomware is involved in 25% of all breaches. Incidents involving ransomware pose a significant threat to organizations worldwide and it is imperative to be well-prepared and equipped to respond effectively.  

During this webinar, we will guide you through the important steps that need to be taken within the first 48 hours of a ransomware incident to mitigate the impact on:  
- Service availability   
- Information systems integrity and  
- Data Confidentiality   

We will also delve into the principles of Network Detection and Response (NDR) and explain why they play a crucial part in ensuring strong cyber resilience.

APJ Webinar - The First 48 Hours of Ransomware Incident Response

The day-to-day operations of a business rely on having a top-of-the-line network performance. Customers, employees, managers and business partners require fast access to applications, services and data. When bottlenecks or security breaches occur, identifying these threats immediately is an absolute must. Monitoring networks is necessary for IT departments, but doing so effectively is an even more significant challenge. 

During our webinar, you'll learn how WhatsUp Gold gives you complete visibility into your network and allows you to pre-emptively manage it before any network-related disasters strike.  

- Gain insight into the operation of your IT infrastructure. 
- Reduce the workload of your IT staff. Prevent systems from failing. 
- Perform trend analysis on all your components.

Avoid IT’s Worst Nightmare by Monitoring Proactively!

With cyber threats on the rise each year, ensuring the security of your IT estate and being able to respond quickly to any potential threat is more crucial than ever. This is why Network Detection and Response tools play such a critical role in your security posture. 

In this webinar, Filip Cerny, Flowmon Product Marketing Expert at Progress, will introduce you to our Network Detection & Response tools, exploring the benefits of adding them to the solutions already deployed in your network infrastructure.

Introduction to Network Detection and Response

The goal of DevSecOps is to extend the core principles of DevOps to security teams shifting security checks left into the dev stage. But still in most organizations DevOps and Security team work independently of each other collaborating via ticket systems and spreadsheets. As a result of this, releases are many times delayed due to compliance and security audits along with fire drills and rework that result from failed audits.

Zero Trust and DevOps: Strengthening Cybersecurity in Complex Environments

Your modern IT infrastructure has become an increasingly complicated mix of on-premises, public and private cloud applications, devices and environments. Forward-thinking organizations are addressing this complexity by transitioning to a proactive “observability” approach for infrastructure management. This methodology produces and then applies actionable data to optimize and secure the entire network.

But moving from theoretical to practical observability takes thoughtful planning and the right platform. In this webinar, we will discuss:

- What is observability and why is it critical to your network operations?
- What do we mean by highly distributed environments?
- The types of data collected and used for observability
- The factors you must consider when selecting an observability platform

How to Achieve Full Stack Observability in Highly Distributed Environments
