Automating for Agility, Control and Consistency in a Multi-Cloud Environment

NoSQL databases have been established for the better part of a decade but they are only now playing a deeper role in Enterprise Digital Transformation, extending beyond their initial use cases. Historically NoSQL databases have emphasized such characteristics as scalability and performance but recently vendors have begun to introduce other characteristics such as strong consistency for transactional data for both highly engaged applications and backend systems of record.

In this webinar, James Curtis, Senior Analyst - Data Platforms & Analytics for 451 Research, will review:

•The trends and growth in the NoSQL market
•NoSQL use cases across industries
•New trends and characteristics appearing in NoSQL-based applications, including data consistency, and how these characteristics are being applied to modern applications

To learn more about the realities of DevSecOps today and the real degree to which security is or is not being included in enterprise continuous integration/continuous delivery workflows, we surveyed 350 decision-makers at large enterprises across a variety of industries.

What we found is that only about half of enterprise CI/CD workflows include any security elements at all, highlighting ample room for improvement. Enterprises did seem to show an awareness of the importance of adding security elements into DevOps releases, but they are not necessarily injecting security early in the process -- ideally at code commit and in pre-implementation. This webinar will cover these and other results of our survey, and offer guidance on how enterprise organizations can effectively integrate security tools, thinking and people into their CI/CD workflows to reduce rework and risk without sacrificing velocity.

We are today witnessing a new era of cyber defense, powered by artificial intelligence. AI is now relied on not only to identify sophisticated cyber-threats, but to autonomously respond to them as well, without the need for human intervention.

In this webinar, Nick Patience, Research VP at 451 Research, and Justin Fier, Director of Cyber Intelligence & Analytics at Darktrace, will discuss how Enterprise Immune System technology is helping to build self-defending networks, powered by machine learning and AI algorithms that iteratively learn a sense of ‘self’ for your organization. They’ll examine how this self-learning system is today uncovering some of the most hard-to-find attacks, from IoT hacks and insider threats, through to ransomware and stealthy attackers lurking in your systems.

Special guest presenter Michael Sherwood, CIO of the City of Las Vegas, will wrap up with a case study on how he implemented Darktrace across the city’s corporate network and smart city initiatives, and how he uses the technology to autonomously respond against fast-moving threats in real time.

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents an enormous opportunity for technology vendors. But selling IoT outcomes – in particular into industries that have deep industrial or operational technology (OT) roots – is a fundamental departure from the traditional IT sale.

Vendors face a more complex solution sale that goes beyond the usual IT buyer and involves multiple stakeholders that sit at the crossroads of IT, OT and strategic business agendas. For the first time ever, 451 Research launched a Voice of the Enterprise (VoTE) IoT: OT Stakeholder Perspective survey in addition to the quarterly VotE IoT: survey of IT decision-makers. Together, these two surveys provide complementary insights and guidance into the IT and OT view of enterprise IoT deployments, budgets, spending, technology priorities, vendor choices and more.

Join 451 Research’s Rich Karpinski, Research Director for Voice of the Enterprise – IoT, to see highlights from this first-ever VotE IoT: OT Stakeholder Perspective survey and learn about:

•How to best work with OT and IT buyers
•The key OT-heavy verticals driving industrial IoT, including manufacturing, utilities, transportation, oil and gas and smart cities
•How to target the very specific OT-centric use cases that are driving IoT deployments and spending in those verticals today – and in the future
•How to position IoT products and services effectively with OT decision-makers – what they want and need from both their IT- and OT-centric vendors
•Where and how OT and IT are collaborating most effectively on IoT – and where and why they are in active conflict (and how you can help)

Deploying and managing thousands of connected assets across an enterprise and around the world can be a daunting task, to say the least. From hardware selection and multiple carrier contracts, to device management, security, coverage, and global rollout, the complexities are numerous. These complexities can result in delayed time-to-market, cost overages, and inability to scale.

Enterprise companies are turning to outsourced managed IoT servicers to address these challenges – achieving a faster time to market and reduced total cost of ownership for their solutions, with edge-to-cloud managed services becoming increasingly important piece of their outsourcing strategy.

In this webinar, join 451 Research vice president Brian Partridge and Integron president Bryan Lubel as they:

•Discuss today’s IoT market drivers, challenges, and new opportunities
•Review 451 IoT research results on connectivity trends, IoT skills gap, and IoT adoption strategies
•Share many of the hidden challenges and roadblocks that enterprise companies face as they roll out their IoT projects
•Discuss models and approaches for addressing and overcoming these hidden challenges to optimize cost and reduce risk
•Discuss real-world case studies in healthcare, energy, transportation, and retail

Merchants and consumers alike expect buying and selling online to be easy, efficient, and safe. Join 451 Research and Equinix on our upcoming webinar as we discuss the role of payments in supporting these criteria and enabling effective digital shopping experiences.

Our webinar will explore:
- The impact of evolving consumer expectations. 75% of consumers say they want to be connected to the internet at all times. Retailers must now cater to always-on consumers who have elevated expectations when it comes to shopping experiences and brand interactions.

- A new vocation for Payment Service Providers. The future of payments is about more than enabling transactions. Successful providers must move beyond associations as a commodity and cost center to become a strategic partner for merchants, helping to drive conversions and improve shopper loyalty.

- The power of enabling technologies. From AI to IoT to 5G to the cloud, there is a wealth of new technology driving and supporting innovation in the digital payments. Effectively harnessing these technologies will be essential to delivering transformative digital shopping experiences.

The ability to remotely connect and collect data, coupled with the immediacy, breadth and depth of the insights generated by all that data, will impact healthcare over the next 12-24 months, greatly influencing payers, providers and patients, alike, as all three seek better experiences, more proactive treatments and lower costs.

Join 451 Research Senior Analyst John Spooner as he discusses his perspectives from HIMSS18 and beyond, including views on the overall status of healthcare digital transformation and its impact on payers, providers and patients as well as semiconductors, devices, infrastructure, applications and platforms that serve them.

Businesses are inundated with countless bytes of data in databases, data lakes, business platforms, devices, and more. Discovering negative trends and problems are an issue for every organization because every organization lacks the human resources to monitor data in real time, report on changes, and investigate the root cause relationships between business and performance. Indeed, with so many moving parts in data-driven businesses, it is practically impossible to track all the data and events manually using traditional BI tools like dashboards... you always miss something crucial, which turns into revenue loss, angry customers or brand damage...

Are you ready to move into the future of BI and AI-driven business monitoring?

The business imperatives fueling digital transformation are changing not just where enterprise IT is located but how it gets used to support business innovation and reinvention. As a result, enterprises are embracing new, heterogeneous IT deployment models that combine on-premises and off-premises, cloud and non-cloud; and public cloud/private cloud resources. Colocation plays a key role in the increasingly complex workload placement decision process, helping organizations get out of the business of managing their own datacenters while also facilitating access to the expanding array of services offered by cloud providers.

Join 451 Research’s Melanie Posey, Research Vice President and General Manager Voice of the Enterprise and Dan Thompson, Senior Analyst, and Iron Mountain’s Charisse Richards, Senior IT Leader for Iron Mountain Data Centers to explore how colocation is evolving into an important foundation of hybrid IT, integrating the security and compliance of private IT infrastructure with the flexibility and agility of public clouds.

Join Matt Aslett of 451 Research for a briefing on the current big data analytics trends that are driving customers to utilize fast big data applications for increased customer engagement, reduced risk, and greater operational efficiency.

Cloud promised a simple pay-as-you-go approach to technology, with cost-savings at the top of the agenda. But data from 451 Research finds that costs are a major issue for enterprises as new pricing models, services and features introduce waste and complexity into the procurement process. In this webinar, we examine the challenge facing enterprises and find a level of intricacy that can’t be solved using manual process – tools and expertise are needed.

Today, the vast majority of organizations struggle to manage complex application environments consisting of a growing portfolio of SaaS applications as well as commercial off-the-shelf and custom web apps hosted on-premises, at remote data centers, and in private clouds. Organizations are further challenged to manage access to applications, networks, and devices for users stored in disparate directories.

The Future of Access Management is here. Join 451 Research’s Sr. Analyst Garrett Bekker, OneLogin’s CMO Miles Kelly and Director of Product Gary Gwin as they unveil a new way to unify access to both SaaS and on-premises applications, as well as access to networks and devices, all with a single Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) solution.
