AI is the hot topic for organizations around the world, but delivering AI apps to your users and ensuring they are protected is a major challenge. As the endpoints for AI apps are more distributed across environments, you need a solution that can solve for the connectivity and security pieces, so that your AI apps can connect to other apps in your network, and ensure each endpoint is protected with strong, consistent security across multiple clouds and on-premises sites. In this session, F5 will show…
Zero Trust security is a critical goal, but current implementations often involve ever increasing complex firewall rules and infrastructure configurations. This presentation proposes a new approach built on the fundamental concept of TCP/IP sockets. We explore the limitations of traditional security methods and how they create vulnerabilities. A new approach is then introduced, leveraging a secure control plane and Zero Trust principles applied directly at the socket level. This eliminates the need for listening ports on servers and clients, removing the network attack surface. The…
The Network is everywhere, and the future is Hybrid. As organizations continue to modernize, their public cloud footprint continues to increase while many applications still run in existing Data Centers. Network teams today are on the hook for connecting public clouds, data centers, sites, SaaS, partners, while integrating existing network and security services. In this talk, we will highlight the benefits of using Alkira as your on-demand and scalable network platform, taking an ‘as-a-Service’ approach to interconnecting all the critical systems that power your business
Join us to hear what we have in store for you on the second day of the Spring 2024 Conference!
In this dynamic ONUG panel discussion, we delve into the pivotal shift towards Cloud Computing, the expansion of remote workforces, and the strategic imperative of Generative AI, which compels enterprises to rethink their approach to network and security integration. With over half of all applications now operating outside traditional on-premises networks, the session will explore the pressing need to move away from legacy WAN infrastructures and perimeter-based security models. Our panel of experts will discuss the challenges and complexities introduced by legacy systems, the inefficiencies…
In the era of Generative AI (GenAI), managing and aggregating vast amounts of data from varied geographic locations poses significant challenges, especially when dealing with legacy network infrastructures. This panel discussion delves into the complexities of data movement and aggregation necessary for the effective deployment of near real-time GenAI applications. We will explore the intricacies of handling sensitive data, the cost implications of data movement in public clouds, the issues arising from data silos, and the optimal network topologies needed to support GenAI. Our panel…
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the phenomenon of shadow AI—unofficial AI projects operating without formal oversight—poses unique challenges for large enterprises. This roundtable discussion delves into the complexities of shadow AI, examining its risks, including security vulnerabilities, data silos, and inefficiencies. This roundtable provides an opportunity to share insights and strategies for identifying, managing, and integrating shadow AI initiatives within the organizational framework, ensuring they align with corporate governance, data privacy standards, and operational goals. Agenda -Risks and Implications of Shadow AI:…
