[1 CPE] What Got Us Here, Won’t Get Us to Where We’re Going…

  Presented by Aruba, a HPE Company

Over the past couple of decades, we’ve relied on a certain predictable and repeatable model of expectations from our infrastructure that has delivered. However, the demands of Digital Transformation, the pace of change, the capabilities within our teams — and of course the pandemic — have created business pressures that traditional ways of building and security infrastructure just can’t keep pace with.

The time is now to reflect, reset, and embrace a different way that will increase agility and flexibility as well as enhance performance and security. Lose the baggage of the past, travel light, and let’s chart a course for the journey ahead.

[1 CPE] Discover How SD-WAN Edge and Cloud Security are Enabling Digital Transformation

  Presented by Silver Peak

Adoption of cloud services and the explosive increase in mobile and IoT devices have driven enterprises to transform both their WAN and security architectures – not just one or the other. The strategic imperative is to deploy a more intelligent, highly automated software-defined wide area network (WAN) that can be seamlessly integrated with modern cloud-delivered security services. Gartner coined the term “secure access service edge” (SASE) to describe this cloud-first architecture. During this session, we’ll discuss:

  • SD-WAN and security considerations enterprises must address when migrating to a SASE architecture
  • How to address Zero Trust access security requirements for remote workers and IoT
  • Pros and cons of single vendor vs multi-vendor SASE implementations

[1 CPE] Digital Transformation: What’s Next in a Post COVID World?

  Presented by Structured & Aruba, a HPE Company

While the pandemic shuttered many businesses and wreaked havoc with supply chains, it also massively accelerated investment in digital operations in the cloud and at the intelligent edge. Many decisions were made in haste, arising from the need to just “keep the lights on.” The next iteration of our global pandemic response is to revisit these decisions; correct oversights in security, enterprise connectivity, and endpoint access; and chart a sound course forward. Join us and learn how to confidently navigate what comes next regarding your organization’s ability to deliver secure and satisfying user experiences in all critical capabilities across the enterprise.

[1 CPE] Payment Card Industry Compliance: How to Become and Stay Compliant

  Presented by Structured

This presentation will discuss the difficulties of becoming and staying compliant with Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements. Although currently in version 3.2.1, the updated Data Security Standard (DSS) 4.0 is coming soon and there are numerous changes and enhancements that must be complied with. Whether you are just beginning with PCI for your organization or have many years of experience, there are many challenges, both old and new that can create roadblocks to compliance. With emerging technologies such as zero-trust architecture ready for implementation, find out how to best use these controls for your organizational goals. This presentation will cover the requirements, trouble areas to be aware of, and how you can utilize specific technology in your compliance effort.

[1 CPE] CI/CD for Networking: Adopting DevOps Principles for a More Robust Network

  Presented by Infoblox

In recent years, continuous integration and continuous deployment, aka CI/CD, have become de facto standards for DevOps-minded software development organizations. Adoption of CI/CD enables software architects and IT specialists to create more flexible, secure and agile infrastructure with new features and functionality that are continually improved and deployed. While compute and storage aspects of environments have benefited greatly from CI/CD, network infrastructure has lagged behind.

This presentation pulls back the covers on efforts taking place to bring CI/CD philosophies to the work of revamping legacy, monolithic network architectures using cloud-native principles, microservices and containerization. The end goal is to create networks that are inherently more adaptable, scalable, automated and simpler to manage.

Speaker Bio: Glenn Sullivan is a Principal Product Manager for Emerging Technologies at Infoblox and joined the Infoblox team when SnapRoute, a company he co-founded in 2015, was acquired by Infoblox. At SnapRoute, Sullivan was responsible for product direction by advocating for the end-user. Prior to founding SnapRoute, Sullivan was responsible for building out hyperscale data center environments at Apple. In addition to core network operational functions, Sullivan led efforts to automate the lifecycle management of various platforms in a multivendor environment. Before Apple, Sullivan was a specialist support engineer on the LAN Switching team in Cisco TAC. While there, his specialty was in turning around customer sentiment by focusing on escalated issues and transforming the customer experience into a positive one. Sullivan has a BS in Network and Systems Administration from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology).

[1 CPE] Securing the Hybrid Cloud: Visibility Best Practices

  Presented by Gigamon

With the move to cloud and the multitude of approaches, your ability to effectively monitor and secure workloads gets even more difficult. IT complexity, the rate of change, lack of skills, and organizational silos have made confidently managing security and performance nearly impossible. Visibility is critical. Join us for a discussion of the security considerations for on-prem private, public, and hybrid clouds. You’ll learn best practices and see how a little planning and design can go a long way. Achieve a secure and viable hybrid cloud implementation and get a high return on your investment.
