Apcela Proof of Concept: A Novel Way to Use SD-WAN for Automated, High-Performance Multi-Cloud Access

IT organizations often find that their legacy networks are not fit for hybrid- and multi-cloud consumption, as they move workloads beyond the datacenter to IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS cloud platforms. In this session, learn how to use modern SD-WAN tools and virtualized networking platforms to accelerate multi-cloud network performance and improve security. Too often IT organizations recognize too late that their current network doesn’t meet the performance, security, or reliability needs of their cloud adoption roadmap. This leads to a complex patchwork of bespoke cloud…

Managing and Respecting Identities in a Secure World: Intersections between DevOps and DEI

The world naturally gets ever more complex with time, in everything from technology to social movements. How can we as technology professionals build systems that recognize users’ whole identities, and still provides them with the seamless and secure experience they expect?

NetBrain Proof of Concept: Reducing MTTR Through Problem Diagnosis Automation

In recent years, networks have grown exponentially more complex from edge to cloud. The adoption of multi-cloud architectures, SD-WAN, and other next-generation networking technologies have made the path to root-cause diagnosis more complicated. This leads to a huge volume of service tickets that consumes NetOps time and hinders the network innovation needed to stay competitive. Consequently, reducing the mean-time-to-repair (MTTR) of service tickets is becoming even more critical for business. Even though 95% of network problems are repetitive, they continue to be diagnosed manually in…

Alkira Proof of Concept: Key Insights to Control, Secure, and Optimize Cloud Networking

Do you know what’s in your cloud? The speed of business is rapidly accelerating and shadow clouds are creating an unprecedented sprawl of resources that IT is responsible for managing. With the fast pace of DevOps and cloud-native workloads, maintaining a complete cloud inventory, ensuring security, controlling costs, and boosting performance are complex challenges for even the most experienced IT teams. To control the cloud, you need maximum visibility into four key areas: inventory, security, costs, and operations. Join Alkira as we explore the processes…

Prosimo Proof of Concept: Architecting Autonomous Cloud Networking Transit with Consistent Network Policy Controls for Multi-Cloud Simplicity

Customers are at different stages of multi-cloud adoption. With more applications and services migrating to the cloud, network teams face increased MTTR with growing cloud cost, degrading the speed they can deploy and manage their networking infrastructure in multiple cloud service providers. Current Cloud networking approaches increase complexity; virtualized network appliances do NOT scale, lack observability, are expensive to operate, and take months of change control. Cloud providers’ native networking capabilities scale with varied levels of feature maturity, but the onus is on the enterprise…

Can We Get Honest Here? The State of DevSecOps Today

Lightning Talks

Join us as leading voices in the DevSecOps community articulate a topic in a quick, insightful, and clear manner. These are concise and efficient talks (no vendor pitches) intended to grab the audience’s attention, convey key information, and allow for several presenters to share their ideas in a brief period of time.

Developing for DevSecOps: Lessons Learned from Developing Prowler

Cloud deployments are complex and we often have to secure them using complex methodologies. Prowler has become an important part of the paved path for the DevSecOps journey, it takes the nuts and bolts of security pieces from having to worry about them. I will cover foundational security best practices along with how to understand the new perimeter beyond a cloud service provider API.

Cultures of Learning and Experimentation: Stories of DevOps Success & “Failure”

With literally thousands of technology practitioners around the world now engaged in the practice of DevOps – and DevSecOps and DevNetOps – and with hundreds of industry conferences held since 2009 where DevOps practices have been discussed and debated (including in some very substantial publishing efforts), it is safe to say we now have a very rich body of experience from which to draw as we work to move our discipline forward. This session seeks to plumb the various cultural and learning differentiators in particular…
