Fibre Channel’s speed roadmap defines a well-understood technological trend: the need to double the bit rate in the channel without doubling the required bandwidth.

In order to do this, PAM4 (pulse-amplitude modulation, with four levels of pulse modulation), enters the Fibre Channel physical layer picture. With the use of four signal levels instead of two, and with each signal level corresponding to a two-bit symbol, the standards define 64GFC operation while maintaining backward compatibility with 32GFC and 16GFC.

This advanced technical session will cover the T11 standards which define 64GFC serial Fibre Channel, backwards speed auto-negotiation compatibility, and compatible form factors:

•New physical layer and specification challenges for PAM4, which includes eye openings, crosstalk sensitivity, and new test methodologies and parameters
•Transceivers, their form factors, and how 64GFC maintains backward compatibility with multi-mode fibre cable deployments in the data center, including distance specifications
•Discussion of protocol changes, and an overview of backward-compatible link speed and forward error correction (FEC) negotiation
•The FCIA’s Fibre Channel speed roadmap and evolution, and new technologies under consideration

While TLS (formerly known as SSL) has become the de facto way of encrypting data in motion on networks, it can also hide threats from your InfoSec team. As the volume of encrypted traffic continues to grow, organizations become even more vulnerable to encrypted attacks, hidden command and control threats and data exfiltration exploits that go undetected.

To make this situation even more complex, the TLS 1.3 draft 28 proposal, ratified at the IETF 101 conference in London and now moving toward official RFC status, has actually removed the visibility which was widely deployed for threat identification in TLS 1.2.

Once again, InfoSec teams find themselves at the fulcrum of a delicate balancing act. On one hand, encryption is moving toward ubiquity but on the other, we need to detect when threat actors use it too. And in detecting that misuse, we need to acknowledge and address critical management, troubleshooting, legal, regulatory, ethical and technical concerns. For example, we can’t decrypt just at the edge of our networks if we believe “perimeter security is dead.” Proxies on the network edge are a step backwards.

What can you do? “Threat Detection in TLS: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” will discuss the necessity of deploying TLS decryption in the core of networks and will explore innovative architectures that deliver that capability while maintaining availability and reliability.

Learn how organizations can manage growing SSL/TLS traffic volumes by creating a centralized “decryption zone” to decrypt traffic once and give security tools newfound visibility into formerly encrypted traffic and threats.

A confluence of trends has caused the security of industrial operations to take center stage in the C-Suite. The convergence of IT and OT environments, migration of once isolated OT environments to IIoT, and of course increased targeting of industrial networks just to name a few. With these emerging trends, there is an even greater need to have 100% visibility, security and control across industrial environments.

One of the key design decisions needed when implementing an industrial cyber security solution is the approach best suited for your industrial control environment - passive, active or hybrid. Join us for our next webcast where Mille Gandelsman, CTO and co-founder of Indegy will explain what “active” security is, what it does, why you need it, how it is safe and how to get there.

In a short period of time, service APIs went from being primarily an edge interface connecting developers outside of the organization with internal systems to the glue that binds those internal systems (microservices) into a functioning whole. Consequently, one of the unavoidable results of microservice-oriented architectures is that internal communication within the data center will increase. Service mesh arose as a potential solution to the challenges that arise from increased East-West traffic by providing a different framework for deploying existing technology.

However, most of what service mesh introduces has been provided for many years by API Management products. Features such as observability, network error handling, health-checks, etc. are hallmarks of API management. These features don’t constitute anything novel in themselves, but as a pattern, service mesh introduces a new way of deploying those features within our architecture.

Join Kong CTO and Co-Founder Marco Palladino as he walks attendees through the architectural changes that have led to the rise of service mesh and why legacy API management solutions born before the advent of containers can’t keep up.

Webinar takeaways:

- Service mesh as an architecture pattern, not a technology
- The implications of adopting microservices-oriented architectures
- Why traditional API management solutions can’t keep up

Data breaches are now a common global occurrence, causing real economic damage to businesses. Lost revenue, damaged reputations, disrupted operations, and significant costs to recover, attackers are adapting their techniques at a much faster pace than most businesses. These once less sophisticated cyber criminals now have easier access to exploits that were previously only available to highly skilled nation-state actors.

Without access to the large IT budgets to fend off these bad actors, small and medium businesses continue to struggle with determining the right approach to cyber security. Lacking the resources to build or staff a Security Operations Center (SOC), companies continue to invest in endpoint and perimeter security products. However, even with several security products deployed, breaches keep occurring. So, is there a way you could detect data exfiltration attempts early, even if the attackers were able to evade your endpoint defense mechanisms?

In this webinar, we talk about:

- Why investing heavily in endpoint and perimeter security products may not be enough
- The top reasons why 24x7 security monitoring is critical to defend your business from today’s attackers
- How you can transform your cyber security strategy today with advanced threat detection and response
