Find out how you can apply a Defense in Depth approach with Ubuntu.

Ubuntu’s security offerings are much more than just a collection of tools: they are an ecosystem of layered defenses, each tuned to address specific threat levels and attacker capabilities. By understanding the unique threats each layer counters, you can make informed choices about which defenses are most important for your environment.


In this webinar, we will journey through the landscape of the security primitives and solutions that make up Ubuntu’s security in depth strategy, all through the lens of computational security:

Swift vulnerability response: Address known threats with Extended Security Maintenance, ensuring rapid patching and protection
Zero-day threat containment with AppArmor: Restrict applications to the bare minimum access they need, stopping attackers in their tracks
Regulated industry standards: FIPS-compliant cryptography and CIS benchmarks deliver system hardening tailored to your needs
Boot-level protection: Secure Boot enforces verified code execution, while Full Disk Encryption (FDE) protects sensitive data at rest
Next-gen isolation with confidential VMs: Technologies like Intel TDX and AMD SEV SNP create CPU-level isolation, safeguarding data even against hypervisor compromise or insider threats

What is Defense in Depth and how can you apply it with Ubuntu?

Join our technical demo where Andreea Munteanu, AI/ML Product Manager and Kimonas Sotirchos, Kubeflow Software Engineer, will:

* Talk about key considerations when building machine learning pipelines
* Learn how to build ML pipelines using Kubeflow
* Give insight of some best practices when using Kubeflow pipelines

More information about the webinar: 

Machine Learning Operations is a new practice that ensures machine learning projects run in an automated and reproducible manner. It is often described as DevOps for machine learning, since it brings together ML development and the operations that are required afterwards to maintain any ML initiative. MLOps has three core components: data pipelines, model pipelines and applications pipelines, which developers are often looking to optimize.

What are ML pipelines?

ML pipelines refer to the pipelines of all three components of the machine learning lifecycle and enable developers to automate ML workloads, streamlining the process of taking models to production. They are a foundational aspect to scaling machine learning projects and running them in a more effective manner.

There are multiple ways to build ML pipelines. Open source tools such as Kubeflow are an easy option, as they have already built the engine to perform such tasks. Kubeflow Pipelines are one of Kubeflow’s components which can be used to build ML pipelines.

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a European Union legislation that will enter into force in 2027. Its overall goal is to make devices safer by implementing more rigorous cybersecurity, documentation, and vulnerability reporting requirements for the IT industry. The CRA is especially relevant for device manufacturers, who will need to ensure devices are secure throughout the product lifecycle. 

Join us for a 45 minute webinar, where Joao Pezzato Hellmeister and Jean-Charles Verdié will share insights on how this regulation will impact device manufacturers and how Canonical’s Ubuntu Pro for Devices can help you ensure compliance. 

We will zoom into:
- An overview of the vulnerability management obligations mandated by the CRA and what they mean for your software stack
- Implications for device management
- How a hardened attack surface can help you minimise threats and simplify compliance

Understand how the Cyber Resilience Act will impact device manufacturers

The Cyber Resilience Act is an upcoming European Union legislation that aims to implement more rigorous cybersecurity commitments, documentation, and vulnerability reporting requirements for the IT industry. The legislation would apply to developers, distributors, manufacturers and retailers of hardware, devices, software, applications, and other “products with digitally connected elements” sold within the EU. The requirements you need to meet depend on the CRA classification of products. 

Although the regulation does not enter into force until 2027, organisations need to start preparing now. Join us for a 30-minute webinar to understand how this new regulatory framework will impact the compliance landscape, and what it could mean for you. We will delve into the CRA’s 4 key obligations:

1. Risk Assessment
2. Documentation
3. Conformity assessment
4. Vulnerability reporting

We will also provide recommended actions so you can implement a roadmap for compliance in your organisation.

What is the Cyber Resilience Act?

In this webinar, Henry Coggill will showcase USG (the Ubuntu Security Guide) and demonstrate how it can automate compliance requirements. We will discuss the hardening profiles that are available, including DISA-STIG and CIS benchmarks, then cover setting up and configuring the tool and demonstrate the configuration options that you can make for maximum security and coverage of the STIG rules.

USG is available with an Ubuntu Pro subscription, and we will show you what extra features and capabilities that are included with Pro, such as extended security vulnerability patching and FIPS-140 certified crypto modules.

Data lake is a very large scale data processing paradigm that disrupts the conventional data warehousing model. Data warehouses require all data to be structured and stored in a relational database, which can be inflexible and may require significant upfront data processing using extract-transform-load (ETL) technologies.

Data lakes can offer greater flexibility whilst retaining the benefits and efficiency of centralised data governance. With Canonical OpenStack private cloud platform, Kubernetes and Charmed Spark solutions, your data lake architecture can also benefit from extended flexibility and scalability whilst remaining cost effective to operate.

Join this webinar to learn more about the benefits of the data lake architecture, and how you can efficiently adopt this technology at scale using modern private cloud technology.

Confidential computing is a revolutionary technology that disrupts the conventional threat model of public clouds. In the past, vulnerabilities within the extensive codebase of the cloud’s privileged system software, including the operating system and hypervisor, could pose a constant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of code and data in operation. Likewise, unauthorized access by a cloud administrator could compromise the security of your virtual machine (VM). 

To protect your data and code against such threats on Google Cloud, Ubuntu Confidential VMs (CVMs) offer enhanced security for your workloads by utilizing hardware-protected Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). To achieve such strong security guarantees, Ubuntu Confidential VMs build on Intel’s innovations at the silicon level, and the foundation laid by Intel(R) Trust Domain Extensions (Intel(R) TDX), now available through Google Cloud.  Ubuntu also offers further primitives to further secure your CVMs at rest, and offer a strong remote attestation.

Come join this webinar to learn about the great engineering that goes into making Ubuntu confidential VMs with Intel TDX on Google Cloud, and how you use them to implement a zero trust strategy for your security-sensitive application.
