Cybersecurity has moved from an issue unique to enterprise IT to a mainstream concern with broad-reaching impact on our daily lives. Certainly detection and prevention are critical but they’re only one aspect. Today we must also consider how quickly we can recover from these persistent threats whether they are malicious or simply a result of human error.

Security can not be treated as a checkbox item in your IT infrastructure and software delivery strategies. Building, delivering, and securing your applications has to be embedded into the app development and delivery process from ideation to maintenance. Adopting practices like DevSecOps, and using a cloud native application platform can help you:

- improve response times to outages or malicious attacks
- keep up with changing compliance requirements and industry regulations
- upskill existing talent

Join us in conversation with three experts who have deep knowledge of and experience in cybersecurity as we discuss lessons learned from this year's biggest security breaches so far and how we can improve our recovery times in the case of a breach, how to shift security everywhere not just left, the power of automation in continuous security, and more.

Enabling developers to go fast, be productive and rapidly deliver innovative applications is increasingly becoming a strategic business imperative. Unfortunately, in a cloud native world, developers are facing a crisis of unprecedented complexity. Public cloud and Kubernetes have exposed many primitives that can be exciting for developers, but also overwhelming. You may not be ready to go all-in on Kubernetes and instead are looking to run microservices across clouds. Then there’s also the assortment of application services on each cloud, as well as open-source frameworks your team may want to take advantage of.  

No developer will have expertise across all the platforms or the time to look under the hood in order to do their job. You need ways to access and share APIs and services across development teams to improve collaboration and productivity. Critical vulnerabilities that can adversely impact the performance or security of your applications are also becoming prevalent and you need ways to identify and eliminate them earlier in the development cycle - to “shift left”.  

In this session we’ll explore how application aware platforms accelerate development across clouds, regardless of where you are in your platform journey.

In this webinar, we'll provide an overview of VMware GemFire - the product, its features, and how it supports business critical applications in some of the world's largest organisations.

How VMware GemFire Runs the World

Leading research projects that data science and AI will add $13 trillion to the global economy by 2030, yet only 8% of enterprises have built the foundations for widespread adoption (Harvard Business Review, May 2021). To remain competitive, it is critical that organisations establish these foundations, to enable them to unlock extraordinary business and customer value.

This session discusses the proven practices, processes and technologies the VMware Tanzu Labs team have adopted, from our over 200 client engagements, to help organisations get started on this journey:

- Introduction to the 3 Accelerators: Experience, Methodology, and Technology
- How agile and design thinking methodologies foster sustained innovation
- The proven tools and platforms to increase productivity
- Real-world use cases in ML development

Unlock Extraordinary Business Value with Data-Driven Applications

Organisations have evolved their cloud strategies to multi-cloud environments and are adopting more containers, microservices, and cloud native technologies. This is creating increasingly distributed systems, making it harder to gain a comprehensive view into how they are performing. 

This year’s State of Observability report, commissioned by VMware, shows that 89 percent of respondents agree that today’s applications are significantly more complex and 97 report challenges in their ability to monitor cloud application environments, with visibility and insight issues growing from last year.  

In this webinar, we’ll introduce how Tanzu Observability provides critical answers, not data, so you can move quickly to the “why” about the performance of your applications, correlated with underlying cloud infrastructure and end user experience.  Along with a look at the 2022 State of Observability report, you’ll learn how Tanzu Observability: 

- Provides visibility into Kubernetes components and CI/CD pipelines 
- Automatic discovery Kubernetes workloads with zero configuration 
- Instant real-time alerting across multi-cloud environments at high scale

Reduce Complexity for Modern Apps & Kubernetes Environments with Observability

Many organisations have invested heavily in becoming ‘agile’, but many are left feeling unsatisfied, not seeing the business value they had expected and feeling that things haven’t really changed that much. 

Initiating change - and making it stick - in a large organisation is hard. It’s easy to make the mistake of focusing solely on technology and team level changes, while leaving the rest of the organisation unchanged. More often than not, the old way of working wins out and changes don’t materialise. 

In this webinar, we’re going to discuss some of the key challenges organisations face adopting agile at scale - specifically governance, leadership behaviours, and funding models - and share some of the approaches we’ve used to help our customers tackle these challenges, make changes stick and deliver real business value to their organisations.

Agile: Making it Stick

Legacy applications and services too often slow down and stop business innovation. Yet, 76% of executives said they are too invested in legacy applications to change. They’re caught in the legacy trap! Organisations simply can’t figure out how to prioritise this invisible work over adding new features and apps. But today, there’s no room to avoid modernising core systems if your business wants to keep up. No more new features can be added to software and no more progress can be made on transformation journeys until this fear is faced.

In this webinar we’ll introduce the business-driven methodology that many organisations have used to escape the legacy trap covered in our upcoming ebook The Legacy Trap - How to modernise applications that are holding you back, and why you need to start right now.

Based on actual customer stories and years of experience from our team you’ll learn:
- What does modernisation really mean?
- How business outcomes drive successful modernisation
- How to build and execute on a transformation strategy
- Some common missteps

Escaping the Legacy Trap: Modernise the Apps That are Holding you Back

The industry has seen explosive growth for Kubernetes in recent years. According to the State of Kubernetes 2022 research report, there has been hyper growth in the number of clusters that companies are deploying in response to the benefits the technology has been providing – particularly in areas of software development and cloud adoption. Based on the projections, there will likely be even more growth in the next few years to come. However, being a still relatively new technology, there are numerous challenges to navigate. 

Join us on this webinar to learn how enterprises can tackle the evolving operational challenges, as the industry makes a shift towards hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures.
