App Modernization with .NET Core: How Travelers Insurance is Going Cloud-NativeVMware Tanzu
At Travelers Insurance, a decade old rating engine was still on the mainframe, making it difficult to scale, expensive to run, and reliant on a shrinking pool of skilled engineers. Rating engines are fundamental to the insurance quoting process, and at the very heart of the business. It was time to modernize and take advantage of the scalability, stability, automation and fast iteration cycles made possible by cloud-native architecture.
In this webinar, Viraj Naik of Travelers Insurance and Rohit Kelapure of Pivotal will take us on their journey from mainframe to microservices. Viraj and Rohit will describe how they built a distributed, event-driven rating engine with .NET Core on Pivotal Platform using Steeltoe, running on Linux stem cells.

DR, IT Resilience, & Continuity: What's the Difference?marketingunitrends
IT resilience is a new buzzword being bantered around but what does it have to do with backup and recovery? It represents a proactive strategic approach to avoiding, responding and immediately rectifying disruptions. Can you do that today?
Ransomware has not gone away. In fact, ransomware criminals have evolved their malware so they can encrypt more data before detection and increase the likelihood you will pay their ransom.
Downtime or data loss is never an option. Yet increasing IT complexity, rising costs and the need for solutions to seamlessly span virtual, physical and cloud workloads have all contributed to a dramatic fall in IT's confidence to recover from a disruptive event. Discover the 7 New Rules of Recovery and how a new approach to continuity can keep your business running – no matter what.
This document discusses factors to consider when choosing a cloud for enterprise-level continuity. It outlines 5 critical success factors: 1) understand your needs, 2) select the right cloud storage strategy, 3) avoid unnecessary compute costs, 4) plan for failback, and 5) keep on-premises needs in mind. It then summarizes Unitrends' cloud disaster recovery solution Boomerang, which replicates VMs to cloud storage with no compute usage for replication and allows failover and failback with one click. Finally, it recommends next steps of remembering the 5 use cases and 5 critical success factors and exploring Unitrends' solutions on their website.
The number one cause of IT downtime is your employees, not an external threat. They inadvertently delete files, click on ransomware bait, hoard data and don’t test new software adequately. Your data backup and recovery solution probably does an okay job of protecting you from external threats but how is it against more common employee issues?
Ransomware: Why Are Backup Vendors Trying To Scare You?marketingunitrends
Ransomware. The very word strikes fear into the hearts of admins, backup specialists, and security pros. Backup software vendors know if all your data is not protected, there is a good chance that if (when?) ransomware hits, you will most likely lose data. But, what should scare you more is less than half of ransomware victims fully recover their data, even with backup. What can you do to make sure you are not on the wrong side of a statistic?
Fix it. Test it. Find it. Back it up. These tasks are stealing hours every day. What if you could use copy data management to repurpose your backup to create a productivity lab?

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Thanks
I appreciate you joining today
Hope not to take too much of your time
And if we’re lucky, I’ll have helped you understand…
…a few things you can use to build your backup and continuity strategy
And maybe help you with some of the criteria you can use to evaluate vendors in this space
Doom and gloom slide
Seriously…big risks are there and you know this by now
Can you really afford to just set it and forget it – especially the forget it part
On the left – that 33X represents how much faster the environment outpaces the people that implement and manage it. It screams for simplicity.
Ransomware is one of the nastiest things happening these days. [Feel free to have a conversation here about whether they’ve been hit by it and their experience.]
60% of companies have been impacted. That’s a legit threat to the business, especially since 63% of those that got hit by it were down more than a day.
And that’s a killer because the cost of downtime – not just from ransomware but anything that impacts the continuity of your business – is over $700B a year in North America alone.
Although admittedly, it’s no picnic and getting tougher
Most people I speak with want fewer vendors, more complete solutions that take less time to manage, and something that they ultimately trust will work. If you get all that, then you’re ahead of the game and can probably relax a bit.
I remember having multiple types of backup that made use feel we were protected..we were not because they were not good backups!
And that’s where our idea of all-in-one enterprise backup and continuity comes into play.
I like to talk about these from an old world / new world perspective because some of the traditional ways of handling things can have a few extra challenges. So we want to highlight how we’re different.
For example, most solutions today require you to pull together multiple vendors, which adds finger pointing, more setup and a lot of manual tuning to get things just right.
Sometimes that can mean you’re using more products to get the capabilities that you really need.
Additionally, with Windows being the OS used for most backup vendors today, the threat of Ransomware impacting all your backups becomes much higher.
Backup should be your insurance policy. You don’t want to have to fight the same fires with your backups that you do in production.
And ultimately, the old world concept makes it very difficult to support with high customer satisfaction, which hurts confidence.
Contrast that with where we think we play in the New World and the all-in-one approach.
One vendor
Really quick setup and no manual tuning needed because everything is preintegrated.
Really broad capabilities cover you locally, at second sites and in the cloud, with some really advanced automation for recovery that we call recovery assurance. We’ll talk about that more in a bit.
And our solutions are hardened, locked-down, Linux appliances that aren’t as susceptible to attacks as the Windows vendors
And finally….we’ve had a 98% customer satisfaction rating for years. It’s just one support call.
[note: you want to read this slide a bit…normally not good practice, but it is key to set the stage about old vs. new world in order to differentiate]
When you look at backup and DR on the left side, you might have different vendors and products all the way through the stack. And the stack is more complex now with so many people leveraging cloud-based solutions for offsite backup and failover. We bring it all together in a single vendor and interface. The hardware and software comes fully loaded in our Recovery Series appliances and it can optionally integrate with the Unitrends Cloud for offsite storage, long-term compliance and even full failover. That Recovery Assurance piece at the top is pretty unique too. It means we’ll actually do automated testing of your DR plan every month and send you a report of how we did. You don’t have to lift a finger. Which is a big part of how we prove we can legitimately provide a 1-hour SLA in our cloud.
That pretty much how we deliver the benefits on the left side there.
Pledge give you long term peace of mind- We’re you long-term business partner
And confidence is key here…
Recovery Assurance is one of the ways we give you extra confidence
Rather than praying backups worked
Rarely testing DR
And spending hours and hours trying to report on DR
Unitrends fully automates recovery testing across physical and virtual machines, as well as failover in an outage to make sure what you tested gets run perfectly
This proactively uncovers recovery issues before an outage
And it automates really cool business level reports so you don’t have to spend hours creating them
You can use this in your local to verify backups, in a secondary site for full DR testing, or in the Unitrends Cloud
Key messages:
So here’s the line up
After everything we just went through, these will be the solutions we’ll sort through to solve your key problems.
[talk to each quickly]
[take a stance that Recovery Series is the Lambourghini and software is the Porsche, but both are great compared to the competition]
Here’s some third party validation.
