Triple-T Presentations by Grepr, Codesealer, F5
Hear from these AI Networking Sponsors as they present Tools, Technologies and Techniques that that map to solutions that enable trusted Infrastructure to drive business value in today’s Enterprise.
Here’s the lineup:
1:00 pm – Next-gen Observability Pipelines Using Apache Flink – Grepr Triple-T
Many companies find that logging is a burden to bear, and logging costs spiraling out of control and little value to show for it. What if you were no longer limited by what your logging platform can do by using a powerful open-source stream processor, Apache Flink? Learn how Apache Flink can be used to deploy AI capabilities on logs, reduce logging costs, query and correlate logs, and build powerful anomaly detection.
1:15 pm – Protecting APIs Against Reverse-engineering and Abuse in the Age of AI – Codesealer Triple-T
AI has made API security more important than ever. Our AI-backed APIs are resource intense and costly if abused, while AI tooling has turned the once labor-intensive task of reconnaissance and reverse-engineering into something that could be automated at scale. This talk will focus on our novel approach API security, encrypting APIs and validating their use to enable a complete block of malicious API activity.
1:30 pm – How F5 Delivers and Secures the New Generation of AI Workloads – F5 Triple-T
AI models and applications are introducing new challenges for telecoms, enterprises, and organizations as they move from experimentation to full production. These challenges include the need for faster processing, addressing security vulnerabilities, and managing AI workloads as compute demands grow, especially across multicloud environments. Scaling infrastructure while ensuring reliable application delivery is crucial.
AI applications also bring security and operational issues, such as new attack vectors, limited control over public AI usage, and the complexity of securely connecting apps to data across multicloud setups. Managing AI infrastructure further compounds these challenges.
Join this session to learn how F5 is transforming its portfolio to accelerate and secure AI application delivery across private, public, and multicloud environments, optimizing high-traffic data flows from edge to back-end systems.
Jad Naous is the CEO and Founder of Grepr. Prior to starting Grepr, Jad was the Chief Product Officer at Imply, the company behind the widely used real-time analytical database Apache Druid. Over the three years he was at Imply, Jad grew the engineering team from 12 engineers to a team of 90 across product, engineering, design, infosec, and IT. He played a pivotal role in shifting the company from a support and services business for the open-source towards a product-led company. With the release of the Polaris, the Database-as-a-Service offering, Jad helped reshape the company into a SaaS business, with Polaris becoming the fastest growing product in the company’s portfolio, processing Terabytes of mission-critical data a day for Imply’s customers.
Prior to Imply, Jad was an investor at Andreessen Horowitz, one of the most recognized Venture Capital firms in the world. There, Jad focused on infrastructure and data investments, developing a thesis around the importance of Operational Analytics and the rise of analytics and intelligence as a core building block for agile companies. Jad worked on diligence for tens of deals during that time, giving him a wide perspective on the startup strategies that work and those that don’t.
Before joining Andreessen Horowitz, Jad was an architect at AppDynamics, the company that invented distributed tracing and made Application Performance Monitoring a cornerstone of observability. Jad started three of the six products the company still sells today and led numerous projects around migration to microservices, scalable data processing, and AI. Jad’s experience at AppDynamics was foundational in his decision to tackle observability once more.
Jad holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford.
Kenny Levinsen is Chief Architect at Codesealer, leading the design and architecture of Codesealer’s security platform with a decade of experience.
Kenny worked within various industries before joining Codesealer. At Exashape, he led the development of AI-based Smart City solutions,
distributed compute and edge compute solutions. At Naptech, he worked on multi-platform driver stacks for high-performance, FPGA-based network
accelerators (SmartNICs).
In his spare time, Kenny enjoys coding on open-source projects, 3D-printing and playing video games.
Pranav is a VP of Products at F5, leading F5’s Distributed Cloud SaaS Platform. Pranav joined F5 through the Volterra acquisition where he led Product Management and was one of the first hires. At F5, Pranav leads a portfolio of products including Secure Multi-Cloud Networking, App Performance (GSLB, CDN, DNS), Edge Compute, Telco Cloud Platform, and SaaS Platform. Prior to Volterra, he led Connected Car Product Management at Jasper which was acquired by Cisco. Prior to Jasper, Pranav led Product Strategy and Optimization at PayPal helping drive improvements in the conversion rate for PayPal’s core checkout product. Prior to PayPal, Pranav led Corporate Strategy for Cisco’s Enterprise collaboration technology group. He holds an MBA from the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, an MS in Computer Engineering from Purdue University, and a BS in Electronics Engineering from the VJTI, University of Mumbai. He was awarded six patents in the field of Internet Routing Technology. His research studies have been published in several publications including the IEEE Distributed Computing Systems and IEEE InfoComm. In his personal time, Pranav enjoys playing basketball, golf and badminton while coaching his daughters’ robotics team.
