Singtel & Viptela: Address your hybrid network challenges in APAC with SD-WAN

Your business needs faster, more nimble IT operations. As software and the cloud make your enterprise more agile, is your network responsive? The enterprise network must be secure, transparent and flexible enough for total control. It must be smart enough to detect and resolve issues proactively.

Join us and Ovum for a webinar that shows how an intelligent, software-driven network delivers deep converged features for visibility, control, insights and actionable intelligence.

In this webinar, we will explore:
- What digital transformation means to business operations, and why the network plays such an important part.
- Enterprises’ priority network challenges and requirements.
- What an agile, unified networking platform should look like, and the benefits to enterprise.

Digital transformation improves the performance and reach of a business. Today, organisations are capitalising on new technologies to improve business agility and growth. The emergence of the Software-Defined Network services can deliver critical benefits that help to boost your business but this may come with a whole suite of complexities. Attend this webinar to learn how to simplify your network deployment and management.

Behind the IoT is Singtel’s secure and reliable network that helps your business harness the full potential of the IoT.

Enterprise applications and business processes are enabled by ICT solutions deployed within the data centre facility, while reliable connectivity unifies all your presence across different geographies. Meanwhile, let’s not forget the increasing reliance of cloud services that helps enterprises to reduce capital expenses and increases agility. Sounds like a disparate, complex environment? Well, it is.

In this session, Ashton Soh, Associate Director of Managed Hosting in Singtel, will lend insights how Singtel’s DC.DX platform, with the data centre at the heart of it, can help enterprises mitigate the complexity and gain the right expertise for their digital transformation initiatives.

To further enhance the cyber resilience of the banking sector in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority launched the Cybersecurity Fortification Initiative. Learn more about what it is through experts in the field.

IT/OT Security In The Digital Economy

A fast-evolving and increasingly virulent threat environment are raising the security stakes for businesses today – gain insights into why the required considerations of IT/OT security are imperative in any digital transformation journey.

Cyberattacks are getting more sophisticated, using a combination of strategies to penetrate the organisation and often for financial gain. Tune in to hear from Singtel's Abdullah Sheikh and Trustwave SpiderLabs researcher Thanassis Diogos as they describe the latest multi-vector attacks uncovered just recently in the financial industry, a modern ‘bank heist’ that uses technical and non-technical methods, with potential to expand across the globe.

The webinar will show you the steps taken by this criminal network and how easy it was for them to divert on average USD$5 million in cash for every target they reached. Understand what measures our experts recommend to ensure your organisation doesn’t become a victim of a similar attack in 2018.

Learn more about how you can harness the power of cyber threat intelligence to protect your organisation against cyber-attacks.

Knowing your enemy is half the battle, but putting strong security in place wins the war. We can help you there.

Contrary to popular belief, spending millions of dollars a year on your organization’s cyber security program does not guarantee protection against all potential risks. From processes and technology, to the people you have invested in, how do you know if they are effective?

In order to proactively mitigate risk, you need automated tools that continuously measure and monitor your security performance. You will then also be able to assess performance against industry peers and competitors.

In this webinar, Singtel and BitSight’s engineers explain why continuous and objective metrics are crucial in understanding an organization’s security posture. You will also get to learn:

• What security ratings are, and how they are developed
• Why security performance varies across different industries
• What the benefits of measuring security performance are

With APAC’s varying stages of infrastructure development, managing an enterprise Wide Area Network (WAN) in the region can be extremely challenging. This is compounded by different networking standards and service level agreements (SLAs) across countries, as well as disparities in race and culture.

Furthermore, as more applications move onto the cloud and employees become more mobile, enterprises have to deal with growing risk of cyber attacks with increasingly complex WAN environments that combine multiple private networks and public internet services.

In this webinar, learn more about managing an enterprise network in APAC. We will touch on how:

- To address potential challenges with WAN architectures evolving to hybrid networks
- To optimise and accelerate connectivity to the cloud
- Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) works and helps you manage your hybrid network more effectively
- Enterprises have leveraged SD-WAN to increase efficiency and reduce cost

Lastly, find out how Singtel ConnectPlus SD-WAN service powered by Viptela, designed with security in mind, can help to simplify and unify your networks, while providing protection against data breaches and attacks.
