Precise time synchronization is a key requirement in Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), and TSN networks require the use of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). Listen to our expert's deep dive into this essential protocol.

Demystifying Precise Time Synchronization

A well-used and pertinent phrase drives edge device development: "There is no safety without security". The confluence (intersection and overlap) between these two critical aspects is essential for the reliable and safe operation of modern systems, especially in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, industrial control systems, and critical infrastructure.

In this webinar, we will discuss how safety-critical embedded systems design teams and operations teams must begin designing from the ground up with safety and security top-of-mind.

• System Design: Facilitating 'Shift-left' for earlier safety/security defect detection; a Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL).
• Certification and Compliance: Compliance to industry-specific safety and security standards, with evidence.
• Risk Management: CVE tracking and mitigation.
• Lifecycle Management: continuous monitoring, maintenance, updates, and vulnerability management.
• Human Factors: User behaviors, training, and awareness.

The confluence of security and functional safety emphasizes the importance of addressing both aspects holistically to develop and maintain systems that are not only safe and reliable but also resilient to security threats and attacks. Integrating security and functional safety considerations from the early stages of system development can help organizations mitigate risks and ensure the overall integrity and trustworthiness of their systems.

The Confluence of Safety and Security in Critical Systems

Modernizing Applications With Cloud Native Architecture and Containers

For the last few years, there has been an ongoing debate about multi-cloud/hybrid cloud vs single cloud approach. However, there is increasing evidence that the future will be multi-cloud. Data from a recent survey released by Forrester Research indicates:

62% of public cloud adopters are using 2+ unique cloud environments/platforms

74% of enterprises describe their strategy as hybrid/multi-cloud today

So, the question is what does this mean for your applications? Does adopting multi-cloud increase management complexity? How can you effectively control and manage spend?

In this webinar, we will discuss the benefits and challenges of a multi-cloud approach. We will see how containers are becoming a key building block for enabling application portability and how Kubernetes is becoming the toolbox across clouds. Finally, we will discuss real-world best practices for enabling multi-cloud deployments.

Getting Ready for a Multi-Cloud Future with Containers and Kubernetes

Hybrid Cloud has become synonymous with Kubernetes and “Containers” through high charged marketing campaigns from IT behemoths. However, container platforms are just one technology platform potentially included within small, medium or enterprise customer Hybrid Cloud Architectures.  

This presentation describes hybrid cloud as a strategy, then as an architecture, and finally it describes the key technologies involved moving forwards and the areas of Next-Gen Hybrid Cloud still requiring standards development, products and service offerings.

Join as we discuss:
Some of the new Enterprises started with a Public Cloud strategy (e.g. Netflix, AirBnB, etc.).
As soon as most organisations are sufficiently mature to require a business O365 service, the organisation then becomes multi-cloud.
Managing a multi-cloud environment is challenging without a hybrid cloud strategy.
What principles might a hybrid cloud strategy have.
What would you expect from the Next-Gen Hybrid Cloud (what should it do).
What are the current relevant product offerings?
This is not just about containers!

Exploring Next-Gen Hybrid Cloud: More Than Containers

Containers in the Enterprise

Containerization revolutionizes software deployment by packaging applications and their dependencies into portable, isolated units called containers. In fact, according to Enterprise Strategy Group research, 77% of organizations state they support eleven to more than twenty containers per hosts in their environments. When applied to embedded systems, this technology streamlines resource-efficient deployment, enabling seamless application management across diverse devices.  Deployment of containers into embedded platforms comes with security risks and attacks including remote code executions, man-in-the-middle attacks, and privilege escalation.  Thwarting these types of attacks necessitates meticulous attention to developer practices and deployment strategies to ensure comprehensive container security. 
 What you will learn:
• Fundamentals of containers and their adoption on embedded systems
• Security risks surrounding embedded container technology
• Tips for securing containers from development to deployment on embedded systems
