Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) research reveals that companies are more successful with SD-WAN transformation when they consume the technology as a managed service. How can an IT organization know if it is choosing the right managed service, though?
Check out these slides to discover the five things you need to know about the power of a managed SD-WAN solution. You will also learn more about:
- Why so many enterprises are choosing managed SD-WAN over DIY deployments

Secure access service edge (SASE) technology is the next step in the evolution of wide-area networks (WANs). SASE combines software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) with cloud-based network security to provide an integrated architecture for securely connecting any site and any user to any digital resource. Unfortunately, many enterprises are discovering that this evolutionary transition from SD-WAN to SASE is not trivial.
Check out these research slides to get insights from the “WAN Transformation with SD-WAN: Establishing a Mature Foundation for SASE Success” research report, based on a survey of 313 IT decision makers across North America and Europe.
EMA’s market research, Multi-Cloud Networking: Connecting and Security the Future, found that 93% of IT enterprises that use two or more cloud providers want to implement an end-to-end, multi-cloud networking solution. The report, based on a survey of more than 350 IT stakeholders, found that network complexity and budget issues are holding many of them back.
These slides provide highlights from this research.
These slides--based on the webinar from leading IT analyst firm EMA and Cradlepoint--provide insights into new research on how enterprises are combining wireless WAN solutions and SD-WAN to drive success, including strategies for branch office continuity; how enterprises succeed with SD-WAN solutions; how to plan for the revolutionary potential of 5G networks.
With users working remotely and data now housed in multiple cloud applications, securing access to data is essential to a modern digital infrastructure. The rise of hybrid work has challenged the scalability of traditional VPNs, and hybrid multi-cloud architectures have made legacy centralized VPN concentrators impractical.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
