The unprecedented disruption over the last couple of years has structurally altered the composition and defining characteristics of the enterprise IT landscape. Cloud has emerged as the undisputed engine powering the notion of a future-ready Digital, Distributed Enterprise (DDE).

The DDE will be characterised by extensive usage of cloud-centric technologies and environments, ubiquitous infrastructure and workload deployment options, and highly automated IT operations as it embarks on the next stage of its digital journey.

A common cross-cloud platform that provides a common abstraction layer to automate, orchestrate and manage across the distributed, multi- and hybrid-cloud environment is key to realising the vision of a DDE.

This IDC InfoBrief, sponsored by F5, explores one of the three key capabilities that are key to building a DDE.

Applying the Easy Button for API Security - Ep 3

Application security is rapidly evolving in a space where new challenges converge, from supply chain delays to accelerated adoption of digital experiences. Today, organisations require flexible solutions that can grow with their rapidly shifting needs.

You can deploy and secure your applications without delay by moving to a distributed cloud. Join us for a discussion about the speed and flexibility of cloud-based security and Web Application and API Protection (WAAP), which can be deployed instantly without infrastructure overhead.

Our experts will be providing guidelines on how to:
- Deploy, secure, and scale applications using a distributed cloud platform
- Secure applications with a SaaS-based WAAP solution
- Protect applications from a myriad of threats with a web application firewall
- Guard APIs from attempted breaches by threat actors
- Defend against bot attacks, account takeover, denial of service, and more
- Deliver multi-layered protection against attacks using DDoS mitigation

Protecting Apps and APIs with New WAAP Solution

Without properly logging and monitoring app activities, breaches cannot be detected. Not doing so directly impacts visibility, incident alerting, and forensics. The longer an attacker goes undetected, the more likely the system will be compromised.

OWASP Top 10: Vulnerable and Outdated Components - Ep 6

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

OWASP Top 10: Security Misconfiguration - Ep 5

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).
