Nell'era moderna del cloud computing, la tendenza è di spostare sempre più frequentemente i propri workload nel cloud pubblico e di utilizzare cloud ibridi. La sicurezza è spesso un elemento inibitore per l’utilizzo di ambienti cloud. Come è possibile strutturare la topologia di rete in presenza di ambienti cloud e renderla sicura ? Si può estendere il proprio datacenter nel cloud mantenendo un elevato livello di sicurezza della rete ? Come garantire un accesso sicuro ai servizi presenti nel cloud e con quali strumenti ? Una delle principali ragioni per utilizzare Azure per le proprie applicazioni e i propri servizi è data proprio dalla possibilità di poter usufruire di un ampio set di funzionalità e di strumenti di sicurezza integrati nella platform. In questa sessione saranno presentate le security best practices in ambito network nel mondo Azure, date da un'esperienza diretta sul campo. Affrontando scenari reali saranno riportate le linee guida e gli accorgimenti utili per utilizzare al meglio le potenzialità presenti nella piattaforma, al fine di strutturare il network in Azure rispettando tutti i principi di sicurezza.
By Francesco Molfese
[Mustafa Toroman, Saša Kranjac] More and more services we use every day are moving to cloud. This creates many challenges, especially if we look at things from security point of view. Taking services out of our datacenter, opens our data and services to new kind of threats but fortunately new tools are available to protect us. See from both perspectives how attackers can try to exploit our journey to cloud and how can we detect threats and stop attacks before they occur. We will show examples how Red Team attacks our Cloud and how Blue Team can detect and stop Red Team.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
