Jacco vanderKooij - This time it’s personal: Business ethics & ego in a globa...SaaStock
The moral imperative for SaaS vendors is the idea that "what got you to this point, will not get you to the next point". Many founders/leaders of a company have achieved their success by bucking the trend and ignoring the advice of trusted advisors. This for many is perceived as having an ego. But this was needed for survival to make it this far. Then suddenly this method stops working. That point has come for many of us, as the problems we face today are far greater than any single company can tackle. It requires companies to work together as a team, it asks for die hard competitors (Apple and Google) to create a unified front, and may even require a joint venture between a multinational and a small start-up with innovative products. This is the time to put your ego in check and let common sense prevail.

The threat of AI taking over our jobs is a belief that many still have today. But nothing can be further from the truth—as with any disruptive technology, some jobs will be replaced by machines, while many more opportunities will be created and augmented for more efficiency and value.

While conversational AI provides 24/7 automated self-service, live agents are given more bandwidth to focus on more complex, higher-value work that requires personal interactions.

Some companies struggle to unlock growth despite having happy customers and Product-Market-Fit. Unlocking growth requires the company to find Go-To-Market Fit. Tae Hea shares a way to find GTM Fit -- called “Surfing to GTM Fit.” Why surfing? Unlocking growth feels like the transition from paddling to surfing. Surfing is a three step process: 1) catching the wave (finding the urgent pain to get leads), 2) riding the wave (executing a playbook to find and close the same type of customers), and 3) having the right surfboard (personalizing your GTM model).

No one likes scoring MQLs to find the best leads to follow up with, and account-based marketing has played a key role in driving revenue growth. As the conversation in SaaS turns to moving marketing’s focus further down the funnel, the sales and marketing teams must work with ever-greater synchronicity. But there's still a case for qualified leads, especially when selling to smaller companies with a high-velocity sales cycle. We explore successful lead-gen strategies that have struck the balance between account-based and high-velocity marketing to drive qualified leads into the arms of hungry salespeople.
Keith Casey - Transform the customer experience with a modern customer identi...SaaStock
With an abundance of devices, increasing reliance on technology, rapidly-evolving customer requirements, and higher expectations for security, privacy, and customer experience, companies who want to succeed must find ways to ensure their customers can engage with their services at any time, from any device, in a secure and safe manner. A modern CIAM solution must not only meet today’s security and compliance standards but create frictionless customer experiences to meet customers where they are in the ways they need. This webinar will focus on key trends to guide organizations as they design a ciam solution that will meet their current and future needs: ciam and iam features are increasingly overlapping; frictionless, consistent omni-channel experiences facilitated by single sign-on; improved developer support; further emphasis on security and compliance

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.

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).
