Too many network incidents are due to configuration errors. Studies show that over 80% of network problems are due to improper configuration and change management. Mistakes like these are costly and can lead to loss of confidential data and mission or business disruption. But configuration errors can be prevented, while still maintaining standards compliance, if you know how to implement a few proven best practices.
This free webinar will show you:
1. The best ways to develop and implement solid configuration baselines
2. What’s needed to monitor and protect configuration baselines from harmful changes
3. How to easily audit configurations for compliance with standards such as DISA STIG, NIST/FISMA and HIPAA
4. Which change controls work best to continuously improve configuration baselines
Quickly drive impactful changes to your organization by eliminating network configuration errors and improving network availability. Register now and plan to join us for this invaluable presentation.

Government and Education Webinar: Cyber Technology to Enable Operator Effecti...SolarWinds
In this webinar, our guest speaker Lt Gen USAF (Ret) Bill Donahue, discussed how using cyber technology can enable operator effectiveness and mission success. Bill also shared his opinion about what’s important to achieve these objectives and deliver the needed results
During this interactive webinar, Bill discussed with our attendees how:
-Air Force operators at all levels need a reliable, secure network, that is well managed and trusted.
-Decision makers need visibility into network operations, so they can make fact-based decisions, that will enable mission success.
-Cyber operators on bases need cyber situational awareness so they can manage vulnerabilities and deliver a trusted network to all combat operations and combat support functions.
-Dependencies on the cloud are real and important to successful cyber operations.
-The right application of cyber tools enable trusted cyber security and performance in a multi-cloud environment. Delivering trusted, reliable and scalable cyber/digital services is the requirement.
-The right cyber and digital tools enable the Air Force CIO vision-- “All Airmen connected and equipped across a Digital Air Force that fully-enables Joint All Domain Operations Command & Control.”
-Mission success depends on all Air Force users trusting the network to deliver an innovative digital experience.”
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.

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!

Talking PointsNetworks are growing in size and complexity as mission and business demands increaseQuickly evolving to where everything we work and interact with is “connected”As a result, networks host more and more different types of devices from different vendors and with unique configuration requirements“Old ways” of managing don’t scale and don’t work best
Talking pointsNetwork availability has never been more criticalDowntime unfortunately does occur and with it operational disruptionSurprisingly a large number of network service disruptions are due to process and human error configuring and changing device configurationsThink about your network – how many of the last dozen incidents can be traced back toNot following process?Simple mistakesInsufficient knowledge
Network downtime represents more than an inconvenience.Downtime disrupts operations with a financial impactSurveys routinely estimate the fully burdened cost of network downtime to be between $100K and $300K per hourDowntime costs increase rapidly when you factor in the disruptive impact upon the organization and this must be consideredExplore further some of the implications in the “WHY”
Talking PointsPrimary reasons network configuration is so complex is because of 1) lack of standardization, 2) Sheet quantity and diversity of devices and 3) Complexity required to configure devicesExplore these three primary reasons and supporting points
http://www.petri.co.il/cisco-ios-configuration-mistakes.htm#https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2162135Talking PointsTalk about use cases (how easy it would be to make these mistakes and the resulting impact) for some of these common problem IOS commandsUnderscore the complexity of device configuration and the skill that must be masteredUnderscore the propensity of making mistakes across a staff with varying levels of skillUnderscore this is only for Cisco (and compatible) devices
Talking PointsSo what is the ideal solution -- what is needed?A way to establish a body of known working configurations and to protect themKnow when a configuration changedKnow whether configurations are compliant Know how to quickly
Talking PointsLike most IT problems – the solution often requires a balanced approach consisting of good process, practices and toolsA framework like ITIL can help set a foundation of processes and practicesConfiguration Management is addressed in ITIL under SERVICE TRANSITIONDiscuss process and purposes and benefits
Talking PointsTo summarize to this point we have been talking about why network availability is paramount, what the leading cause of network downtime, why network downtime is so costly, why achieving error-free network configuration is so difficultWhat an ideal solution would look likeHow an IT governance framework can help establish a foundation for process and practiceThis brings us to the heart of our presentation – recommended best practices to help you improve network availability by reducing configuration errorLets explore each one of these in more detail
Talking PointsFirst best practice is to identify each device to be managedTalk about each recommended action to takeWhy is this importantWhat is involvedWhat the benefit isStories / examples
Talking PointsSecond best practice is to drive standardizationTalk about each recommended action to takeWhy is this importantWhat is involvedWhat the benefit isStories / examples
Talking PointsThird best practice is to protect device configurationsTalk about each recommended action to takeWhy is this importantWhat is involvedWhat the benefit isStories / examples
Talking PointsFourth best practice is to assess and report complianceTalk about each recommended action to takeWhy is this importantWhat is involvedWhat the benefit isStories / examples
Talking PointsFifth best practice is to implement effective change controlsTalk about each recommended action to takeWhy is this importantWhat is involvedWhat the benefit isStories / examples
