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.
EMA’s market research report, “AI-Driven Networks: Leveling Up Network Management,” is based on a survey of 250 North American IT decision-makers who have direct experience with the application of AI/ML and AIOps (AI for IT operations) technology to network management. Overall, 92% of them believe that AI-driven networking will lead to better business outcomes, but they told EMA that their organizations need to improve how they evaluate and implement this technology, and they need better solutions from their vendors.

The borders of enterprise network infrastructure are porous at best. It’s too late to close them, and it’s probably best that you don’t. Cloud services, mobility, and technology adopted by lines-of-business (also known as shadow IT) may erode much of the control you once had over your infrastructure, but your business is using these technologies for a reason. They get the job done.
What you need to do is gain as much visibility and management as possible over these networks and services. The Borderless Enterprise enables this transformation.

Enterprises have been trying to automate their networks for decades, but manual tasks continue to dominate operations. According to Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) research, only 34% of IT organizations have been able to automate more than half of their network provisioning and change management tasks. With so many commercial and open source network automation tools available, why aren’t organizations doing better?
These slides—based on the webinar featuring Shamus McGillicuddy (EMA Vice President of Research) and Jason Edelman (Founder and CTO of network automation solution provider Network to Code) —provide guidance on how to set a network automation strategy. You will also get insights on:
- Whether a network team should use open source, homegrown, or commercial network automation solutions
- How to establish a data-driven source of truth for your network
- How to build the right team for enabling your network automation strategy
EMA’s market research report, “From Scheduler to Automation Fabric for the Enterprise: Workload Automation Transformation in 2023” is based on a survey of 406 global IT and business users and decision-makers who have direct experience with workload automation. Overall, 89% of them believe workload automation tools should be expanded to orchestrate automation tools across the enterprise. Get other insights when you check out these slides.
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.

Cyber threat intelligence CTI is now more accessible than ever, even for small businesses that were previously financially restricted from accessing this important cybersecurity tool. However, this sharing and accessibility present new challenges that result in increased CTI data, which must be analyzed and processed.
In this research, Enterprise Management Associates set out to discover which CTI sources, methods, and integrations are currently working in the industry and where there is room for improvement. The research provides key insights on the methods organizations are having the most success with and how organizations can better leverage CTI in their everyday operations.
Leading IT research firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) recently surveyed IT professionals, information security practitioners, and technology business leaders across all verticals to discover their attitudes and perspectives toward API security and the tools they are using/evaluating to protect their critical workloads.

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.

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.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
