Ep 13 - Reference Designs for Application Security in Kubernetes

While modern applications are getting more distributed and interconnected, API calls are now representing the majority of requests on the Internet. To manage, expose, and protect APIs involves several teams and requires different technologies.

API gateway and security solutions can be deployed either centrally or distributed, inside or outside a Kubernetes cluster, and managed in-house or consumed as a service.

However, using different deployment models within the same organisation complicates how APIs are managed and governed, and requires new skills if deployed as Kubernetes.

In this session, you will learn about:
- The API ecosystem and protocols used
- The differences between API management, gateway, and security
- Various API gateway and security architectures

Ep 10 - How AUDI Boosted Time-to-Market Through Cultural Change & Security First

Automation is a growing security problem that most organisations don’t recognise as many have no way of identifying which “users” are real humans and which are bots. Taking advantage of this blind spot, hackers can easily automate or scale attacks, imitate human mouse usage, or leverage AI tools like ChatGPT to assist in malicious coding and phishing campaigns.

And, because moderate and advanced bots can easily evade your defences by posing as human users, MFA, WAFs, and CAPTCHAs are no longer enough to mitigate this threat.

Watch this Fireside Chat featuring David Warburton, Director at F5 Labs, the threat research division of F5, and Brian McKenna, EMEA Regional Director, Analyst Services, ESG to access an in-depth discussion on the state of attacker automation and learn how to shore up your app vulnerabilities against emerging threats.
 
Additional items to be discussed will include:

• The type of attacks bots and automation are capable of
• Future trend predictions for AI-based attacks
• Why cloud migration complicates the bot defence process

The Future of Attacker Automation & AI

Join us for an exclusive myForum event where we explore and debate the most pressing cybersecurity concerns of 2022, and more importantly how organisations can fight back.

Today's cybercriminals vary wildly by motivation, sophistication, level of resources, and depth of specialisation. At the same time, applications are becoming increasingly distributed and decentralised, creating a whole new world of challenges and pain.

Cybersecurity is an infinite game where no organisation or vendor can ever claim outright victory. Staying in that game is only achievable with a long-term strategy, relentless persistence, and constant innovation.

Drawing on the latest research and insights, Bryan Glick (Editor in Chief, Computer Weekly) will be moderating a panel consisting of Lisa Forte (Cybersecurity Expert and Top 100 Women in Tech award winner), David Warburton (Threat Research Manager, F5 Labs), and Matthieu Dierick (Solutions Architect, F5).

The Future of Attacker Automation and AI

When an application enters production as a container, it arrives as a changeless artifact. The first few moments of its existence are spent communicating and learning through the platform API, DNS services, settings, and volumes. The question is, at what stage was the application most vulnerable and when was it compromised?

In this session you will learn more about emerging attack vectors targeted at applications deployed inside Kubernetes platforms, and how you can protect both the application and Kubernetes from being compromised. Discover how to:
• Monitor your Kubernetes platform for risky behaviours and signs of compromise
• Secure the API with Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
• Protect the runtime with Kubernetes security policies
• Use ingress controllers to enhance data plane security
• Leverage network policies and service mesh to protect and restrict internal traffic

Ep 8 - Securing Apps Starts with Securing Kubernetes

With cloud architectures, protecting both the application business logic and the underlying application infrastructure is paramount. However, as applications are deployed across multiple cloud environments, they often fail to deliver the desired app-to-app connectivity and security.  To simplify and secure your applications in an increasingly complex infrastructure, you need to deploy a Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) solution that enables consistent security across multi-cloud environments.

In this session, you will learn how you can:

•    Deploy WAF, DDoS, bot defence, and API security functions across multiple clouds
•    Combine WAAP with cloud workload protection to secure the cloud-native infrastructure
•    Gain valuable insights into application threats by leveraging AI and ML capabilities

Protect Your Apps and APIs to Thrive in a Multi-Cloud World

The fact that application attacks are on the rise is a growing concern for business leaders, as applications are the gateway to an organisation's most valuable assets – the data.

With the right web application firewall (WAF), you can block the relentless attacks that aim to take down your services and exfiltrate your data. Application and DevOps teams adopting agile methodologies are now building and deploying new apps at a speed that is difficult for security teams to keep up with.

In this session our experts will explain how you can reduce time-to-market for your new apps by:
• Harmonising your WAF deployment with your DevOps practices to reduce friction between application and security teams
• Integrating your WAF security policies into the developers’ CI/CD pipelines
• Adopting a security-as-code methodology by integrating security policies in a repository, such as Git

Session 1: Protect Your Apps and APIs across a Distributed Cloud

As you secure your applications and protect them from security breaches and fraud events, you've likely turned to preventative and detective controls on the server side. 

On the other hand, client-side threats such as malicious JavaScript, formjacking, data exfiltration, digital skimming, and Magecart make up a significant portion of attacks across all industries. Those attacks can lead to customer data theft, regulatory scrutiny, compromised user experience, lack of trust, stuck sales cycles, and revenue loss. 

In this session, we'll explore the challenges involved in client-side security. We'll cover: 

• The complexities and challenges involved in client-side security 
• How enterprises can avoid common pitfalls when addressing client-side security 
The benefits of looking at the client-side environment to mitigate risk

Ep 4 - Why You Need Observability Beyond Monitoring Apps

Over 50% of web traffic today is generated by bots. As bad bots are involved in nearly every attack, it's critical to be able to identify bad bots and protect against them. But how can you distinguish between good bots, bad bots, and humans?

In this session, you will learn:
- What types of application attacks are commonly performed by bots
- How bots infect, propagate, and attack your applications
- Which technologies are available to distinguish between valid traffic and bad bots
- How you can defend against bad bots without disrupting the good ones
- How reducing bot traffic will reduce your total cost

Ep 3 - Smarter Bot Mitigation with Machine Learning Can Reduce Risks and Costs

Modern applications are complex, consisting of multiple software elements that are developed and upgraded separately. Studies from Cloud Native Computing Foundation and others show that containers and container orchestration platforms are now the “new normal” for application development and scaling.

In this session, we will focus on security services that can be deployed and scaled in orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.

You will learn how you can:
- Protect your applications against app-layer attacks
- Easily deploy and operate app protection with an ingress controller inside your Kubernetes cluster
