Advancing AI Orchestration for Hybrid and Multicloud

As financial services organisations push the boundaries of digital innovation, they face escalating expectations from account holders and significant operational challenges. The 2024 State of Application Strategy report: Financial Services Edition reveals that over 80% of these organisations are deploying AI assistance, despite data system maturity being a major barrier. The average financial services organisation manages 601 APIs, increasing exposure to cyberattacks and complicating security in hybrid, multicloud environments. These challenges are further compounded by the threat of cyberattacks, immature data systems, and a shortage of skilled professionals.

Together with report author Lori MacVittie, Sr Director, Solutions Engineering, Andy Franklin, and industry solutions expert, Chad Davis, join us for a fireside chat as we discuss findings and practical insights into the current digital landscape in financial services and explore strategies to effectively manage AI deployments and mitigate associated risks from the 2024 State of Application Strategy report: Financial Services Edition.

- Accelerate and simplify deployment of critical app services
- Use machine learning to locate vulnerabilities in your APIs
- Deploy apps consistently and repeatably - on premises and in the cloud

F5 BIG-IP Automation Toolchain Enables Digital Transformation

When DevOps commit and publish a new application, they expect it to be published quickly. This represents a challenge for the NetOps and SecOps teams encumbered with traditional ADC solutions. Integrating NetOps and SecOps processes into CI/CD pipelines represents a considerable challenge for organisations.

In this session, we will cover, step by step, how BIG-IP and NGINX controller can be deployed and configured by NetOps and SecOps, starting with using traditional methods (GUI, REST API), and concluding with a full CI/CD implementation by DevOps. During this session we will include tool sets such as Terraform, Ansible and Jenkins, and examining how these tools interwork with the latest F5 Declarative WAF.

In this webinar you will learn:

• Will learn how the new NGINX Controller 3.x publishes modern applications.
• Understand how NGINX and BIG-IP solutions can be easily integrated in a CI/CD pipeline.
• Gain insight into the F5 BIG-IP Declarative WAF.

Publishing and protecting modern applications with NGINX controller and BIG-IP

Most organisations are currently executing on their digital transformation. Either, to gain a competitive advantage, to be able to adapt to the new customers behaviours, or because it will make the organisation better prepared to launch new products or services.

The speed and consistency of deploying applications is essential and is only feasible when the right technologies and methods are being selected. This is where F5’s automation toolchain equips organisations with the ability to provide flexible, healthy and cloud-agnostic application services when migrating or building new services.

In this webinar the F5 automation toolchain will be leveraged to support application migration by:
•Deploying a new cloud environment.
•Using automation to deploy consistent application services.
•Deploying services to make current and new applications available for consumption.
Using F5 application services puts organisations in control of where their application or service gets consumed, all facilitated through the use of an API.
In this webinar you will learn:

• Will identify which technologies are essential for driving business success.
• Will understand how automation can be used when applications should are migrated.
• Will be able to select the right tool for the job when it comes to drive digital transformation goals.

Provisioning Your Apps with F5 Automation Toolchain

Cybercrime is big business. Professional, organised attackers armed with a vast array of sophisticated tool kits can no longer be ignored. Using sophisticated techniques to bypass security controls, these cybercriminals seek to exploit vulnerabilities in your web and mobile applications to launch damaging and far reaching attacks.

Attackers and fraudsters can call upon a sophisticated suite of tools, including human-powered click farms, social engineering, and malware - all designed to defeat traditional defences such as WAFs and CAPTCHAs.

This one-hour session will dive deeper into how organisations can keep pace with this shift using Shape’s combination of signals, machine learning and managed service.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• Will understand how to prevent fraud by distinguishing between real and unreal traffic.
• Identify how application abuse and fraudulent activities differ to other forms of application attacks.
• Gain insight into how to enable a secure, frictionless customer experience.

Fraud Prevention and the Delivery of a Friction Free Customer Experience

Web application attacks are the #1 source of data breaches. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) provides critical security controls to protect web apps. however, not all WAF solutions are the same. Similarly, very few organisations and their IT environments are the same, giving rise to different WAF demands and consumption models.

In short, different environments require differing security solutions. In this session we will cover the range of F5 WAF solutions and the ways in which organisations can deploy them to secure their applications.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• Will understand the appropriate use cases for the various F5 WAF solutions
• Will gain insight into the new F5 WAF solutions for modern application environments
• Will be introduced to F5’s new declarative security policy

Choosing the Right Deployment Options for Your Application Security Needs

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks threaten businesses with downtime that can be damaging to their brand and reputation and even lead to financial losses. With the many IoT device-powered botnets and “for-hire” DDoS services, the threat and complexity of an attack is now greater than ever. Whether volumetric, computational or application mimicking in nature the common goal of these attacks is to make your application or network unavailable.

Your network, DNS, and TLS are not often thought of as being a part of an application. Yet DoS or DDoS attacks against these tiers can render your networks, applications, or other supporting infrastructure inaccessible. HTTP(S) DDoS application attacks are highly sophisticated in terms of mitigation. The real challenge is to identify and successfully block attackers’ requests whilst still allowing legitimate traffic.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• Understand why HTTP floods are difficult to mitigate successfully
• A principle understanding of F5's HTTP(S) DDoS layers
• Learn how to protect your business by configuring F5's smart L7 DDos multi-layer protection

Mitigating Application DDoS Attacks

Future-proofing and Securing Your Apps

While application deployment cycles continue to speed up due to automated CI/CD pipelines, many network and security policies are still manual, ticket-driven processes. This can lead to corporate policies and controls being bypassed in favour of releasing code quickly. Attend this webinar to learn how you can provision a consistent set of application services, using automation tools already in your workflow.
