  • Preparing for a Cyber Crisis: The ISF approach

    High-impact cyber attacks frequently make news headlines for all the wrong reasons and can cause significant financial, operational and reputational damage. Managing the crisis can be the difference between survival and destruction. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, incident response, crisis management, business continuity and disaster recovery plans will be pushed to breaking point. One way of preparing the organisation for a cyber crisis is stress-testing these plans by performing cyber security exercises, which can increase awareness, empower the workforce and improve resilience. Join us on the 19th July at 13:00 BST as ISF Senior Solutions Analyst, Daniel Norman, details how you can: - increase awareness amongst key stakeholders about the nature and scale of cyber incidents - design realistic, impactful cyber attack simulations and playbooks - effectively stress-test crisis management, business continuity and disaster recovery plans.

  • Finding Beacons In The Dark – A Guide To Stopping Cobalt Strike Attacks

    Cobalt Strike (CS) is the most widely used advanced adversary simulation and threat emulation software. It's very powerful, for both good and bad actors. CS delivers a post-exploitation framework that was developed to emulate the greatest features of late-stage malware ecosystems and allow its users to simulate adversary actions. The adoption of Cobalt Strike by global threat actors, and the framework’s use in hundreds of genuine intrusions, ransoms, and data breaches, shows that Beacon has fought its way to the top. It currently sits on the throne as the reigning champ of all malware toolkits. If it works, it wins. In this session, you will learn: • How security and threat intelligence community can proactively prevent their organisations from falling victim to the growing threat of Cobalt Strike Beacons and Team Servers. • How to turn the tables on APT groups and malicious threat actors - become the hunter instead of the hunted.

  • Adapt Your Endpoint Security Strategy

    Cybersecurity megatrends -- including zero trust, XDR, a pandemic-induced increase in remote workers, and the move to public cloud -- are influencing the way organizations think about endpoint security. These megatrends add new requirements for endpoint security, while requiring new levels of integration with other core security controls. Further influencing endpoint security strategies is the massive growth and device diversity driven by both mobile and IoT device usage. In response, IT and security teams are thinking differently about endpoint security platforms, what they must include, and how they fit into the broader security stack. ESG Principal Analyst Dave Gruber will discuss strategies and best practices for modern endpoint security to secure this growing attack surface. Read More

  • An Engineering Approach to Implementation of the Data Mesh Concept

    A monolithic approach to building systems rarely succeeds. And yet there is clear value in having knowledge workers access data across an enterprise. The Data Mesh concept put forth by Dehghani proposes a divide and conquer approach to tackling monolithic complexity by aligning implementation to the idea of domains. In this workshop we will discuss an engineering approach for Data Mesh deployment that provides a practical architecture and governance framework to deliver connectivity across domains while encouraging a decentralized approach to stewardship and implementation. Learn how to accelerate delivery of data products using a domain-driven design approach. Learn about best practices in data engineering aligned to a domain-driven approach to delivery of data products. Learn how to deliver using autonomous, decentralized teams while avoiding anarchy in architecture and deployment. Read More

  • DevOps for Java Shops

    DevOps is great, if you have the people, processes and tools to support it. In this session I’ll highlight the easiest ways for Java developers to work with their IT organizations and partners to deliver their code to the cloud, including the best ways to reliably make updates and maintain production cloud code. The focus is on real-world examples using Linux command line tools, open source tools including Jenkins, and other free SDKs and tools available on GitHub. The examples, tools and demos that I show are applicable to any cloud platform, and all are available on GitHub. I will show Microsoft Azure running the samples but will not be selling azure - this is a technical talk that will focus on the code. Read More

  • How to use AI and analytics to keep your release pipelines flowing

    Is your DevOps stuck? How to use AI and analytics to keep your release pipelines flowing Transformation efforts only drive limited impact if you don’t have the right tools and analytics to address DevOps challenges faced at different stages of the journey. How do you identify, predict, and remove inefficiencies in every step of the release process? And what level of visibility do you have into the performance of the software delivery pipeline across the enterprise? Join this webinar to get actionable tips on how to use historical analysis, machine learning, and data from across your toolchain. Learn how a holistic value stream delivery platform can meet you where you are, heightening the focus on your closer-in opportunities, from pipeline orchestration and analytics to AI-driven DevOps improvements. During this session, we will also cover: -Real life use cases and best practices of using different DevOps functions to overcome common challenges -How to use metrics to improve release performance and scale end-to-end SDLC -Ways to identify risky changes in development and ITOps using predictive AI -Stages in the digital transformation journey and must-have value drivers at each stage Read More

  • How to Scale Insights With Your Modern Data Warehouse Architecture

    The modern data architecture is all about scale, allowing organizations to store and utilize high volumes of data. There are 2 components to realizing this scale: (1) Building an architecture with the right tools; (2) Building a team that can take proper advantage of these tools. This session will explain how you can achieve both. We’ll cover the key components of successful modern data architectures, along with how successful organizations are utilizing these components to achieve democratization and scale insights within their organizations. • See examples of modern data architectures on the major cloud platforms, including AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, and Databricks • Learn tips and tricks for using modern data platforms to their full potential by scaling people, processes, and processing Hear success stories from organizations that have successfully modernized their data warehouses Bio: Nike Start is a Sr Sales Engineer for Asia Pacific & Japan region focused on helping companies transition to the modern stack. He has 10 years of experience engineering, analyzing, visualizing data across multiple verticals.
