Bridging conventional and agile IT, Red Hat brings a portfolio of open, flexible, heterogeneous solutions that already power the world’s most successful, innovative companies. Open platforms, open management and open application development are the keys to funding the acceleration of game-changing digital strategies.

In this session, we cover a security overview, share a Red Hat Product Security risk report, and dive into Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and DevSecOps. Attendees will learn about varying solutions available to help secure their organizations.

Back to Security Basics

The frequency of security incidents and business disruptions is increasing every year. The resilient organization is better equipped to respond to these threats and maintain business continuity. Implementing an end-to-end IT automation strategy across your organization can significantly increase an organizations ability to be resilient in the face of security threats as well as reduce the severity of those attacks. While the need for holistic automation adoption is well established, according to a recent Harvard Business Review survey of more than 300 business leaders, only 13% of the respondents said that they are currently deploying IT automation at scale across their organization (1). 

Join this webinar to discuss: 
•  The role automation plays in responding to and mitigating risk events
•  How building a resilient organization can impact you bottom line and competitive advantage

Building a resilient organization with IT automation

Scale your infrastructure to support your business

In this demo we will see how the combination of Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions and Red Hat Ansible Automation provide a complete platform for SAP workloads that is highly automated, simplifying dramatically the management of the SAP hosts during their entire lifecycle. We will look at how Red Hat Satellite detects missing or outdated components in the servers and applies the right versions, also how Red Hat Insights with its SAP specific rules can detect potential issues before they happen and how these can be solved automatically with Ansible playbooks before a failure occurs.

How Red Hat Ansible Automation really works in relation to SAP

This panel discussion includes three Red Hat partners from EMEA. Each one will give their view on the role of automation in the SAP world today and tomorrow.

Automation in a customer SAP journey towards S/4HANA and Public cloud

Real examples are something which will tell much more than any long stories and description of technical details. Ben Lingwood from Lemongrass will be talking about a few customer cases where they are using Red Hat Ansible Automation to automate SAP workloads on Public Cloud.

Using Ansible to automate SAP workloads on Public Cloud

Automation with Red Hat Ansible delivers value on a number of key areas within an organization. Cost/efficiency, reduction of risk and the ability to monitor/manage the contribution automation provides. The cost element can be a hard one to get your hands around before actually implementing the solution. 

Red Hat has worked together with IDC to build an analysis of actual customers on the impact automation really brings. In this session we will illustrate some of the results and the numbers behind the very impressive calculation.

IDC case to calculate the value of Automation

As enterprises move to SAP S/4HANA while also shifting to Microsoft Azure, automation is essential to realize the benefits of both platforms. 

Red Hat and Microsoft will showcase the joint SAP on Azure automation proposition that completely automates SAP deployment and operations on Azure using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. With this end-to-end automation solution, customers can maximize the performance of their SAP investment on Azure while drastically reducing operational costs. This automation solution will also cut deployment time of your SAP system from days to a few hours.

SAP on Azure automation - automating and managing SAP workloads on Azure

No matter the complexity of your environment or where you are on your IT modernization journey, an automation strategy at scale will improve existing processes so you can save time, accelerate innovation, improve employee satisfaction, and reduce costs throughout your organizations. For SAP customers this is even more relevant as they need to modernize their infrastructure and application landscape by 2027.

Most analysts have stated that the new norm to be successful is a hybrid cloud world. Organizations need to adopt a more integrated and comprehensive approach for managing mission critical platforms and applications such as SAP across diverse environments. Red Hat’s market leading Ansible Automation Platform is at the heart of these capabilities.

A successful SAP modernization journey starts with automation

Security encompasses a wide range of products and services designed to help protect individuals and organizations from loss or damage to their data, applications, systems IT, networks, and devices for malicious or unintentional activity.

IT solutions and security integration in changing environments

A recent Harvard Business Review Analytic Services survey highlights the importance of IT automation: 80% of respondents say adopting IT automation is “extremely important” or “very important” to the future success of their organization. However, only 34% of respondents say that IT leaders are actually embracing that role¹.

As companies strive to become more agile and digitize their operations, IT automation has evolved into a business imperative and has become a critical element in digital
transformation. IT leaders must not focus solely on technical matters like selecting the right technology. They should also become evangelists by developing a strategic vision for IT automation and serving as a proponent of culture change to overcome the resistance present at many organizations today.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:

How Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform supports your digital transformation
Understand how organizational change and culture impact the advancement of IT automation.
Identify top priorities and define the roles IT leaders should play to advance IT automation

Strategies for adopting IT Automation across your organization

It is essential to establish a solid foundation in your automation practice as you prepare to scale automation across your organization. The wrong approach can lead to wasted time later identifying and remediating issues, developing playbooks from scratch, or manually assisting internal IT users who could be more self-sufficient. Additionally, having access to the right data can help you respond to automation workflows proactively, prioritize the right projects, and communicate success to key stakeholders. 
 
In this webinar, we’ll introduce you to the suite of Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform hosted services. Discover how to use these value-added features to automate more quickly using trusted content collections, gain visibility into your automation using analytics, and develop an automation practice that helps teams across your organization work more efficiently. You’ll also get an early look at the 2022 hosted services roadmap for Ansible Automation Platform so you can plan your automation journey along with Red Hat.

Analyze and expand automation with hosted services

As IT organizations continue to automate for increased productivity and a competitive edge, the focus shifts from “just” automating to expanding, scaling, and optimizing automation. How are you going to control and manage the great automation you’ve built across teams and globally? 

In this webinar, we’ll discuss and demonstrate two new capabilities of Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform. Automation controller and automation mesh simplify and optimize your ability to run automation at scale. These technologies separate the control plane from the execution plane, which makes it easier to scale automation as your needs grow. We’ll show you how automation mesh allows execution nodes that are located in multiple geographies to run automation while being controlled by a single automation controller from a central location.

Scale automation more easily

With automation, processes that used to take days and hours can be done much more quickly. As automation expands, the benefits become dramatic. Because you’re automating processes across many applications or systems, IT teams are freed to focus on more interesting projects. Deploying new automation projects is the first step, which begins with creating trusted and reliable automation content.

Create new automation content more quickly and easily

The ways to use public and hybrid cloud computing are growing rapidly. New automation solutions that provide speed and accuracy amid the complexity of doing business today can help you keep pace. 
 
Accelerate your cloud journey and expand the boundaries of what is possible for your enterprise through automation. Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform brings modern automation to your cloud environment.

New ways to automate across public and hybrid cloud environments

A recent study conducted by ESG found that almost 9 out of 10 surveyed organisations would need to update their cybersecurity programmes for cloud-native applications and their use of public clouds, so as to gain consistency across hybrid clouds. As data and applications increasingly move to the cloud, many organisations are faced with the unique security and compliance challenge of putting new security investments into securing their hybrid environments that blend existing IT infrastructure and public cloud. In this context, decision makers across security, IT, application development and the boardroom need to rethink their approach to security. 

How will your organisation tackle the challenges associated with securing your hybrid cloud environment? Collaboration and agile ways of working are crucial for security to successfully keep pace with the velocity of continuous integration and continuous application delivery processes (CI/CD) and practice. In this context, defense-in-depth approaches need to be modernised, harnessing Zero Trust principles to deliver an integrated and layered security strategy made up of people, processes and technology.

In this Red Hat episode, ESG senior analyst Doug Cahill will be joined by Lucy Kerner (Director, Security Global Strategy and Evangelism) and Dan Juengst (Product Marketing Lead) to discuss the challenges involved in securing hybrid clouds and share their insights on how defense-in-depth approaches can be modernised to bolster security across the stack. 

Join Doug, Lucy and Dan as they explore:
- Understanding the composition of the modern datacenter
- Identifying hybrid cloud security challenges 
- Why developing a culture of collaboration is crucial in modernising your cybersecurity approach that bolsters your security posture across hybrid clouds. 
- Best practises on how to approach security in the context of hybrid cloud 
- And more
