The Impact of AI on Cybersecurity

As today’s networks grow increasingly complex, your network application and security teams are all struggling with network communications, hidden threats and misconfigurations. Each of these issues allows various vectors, increasing the likelihood of a cybersecurity incident. Often an incident occurs because an organization lacks a single pane of view, the right information sharing, and an automated, inter-departmental workflow.  

The solution is a combination of network anomaly detection and response automation, deep network traffic analysis and data collection, which together can provide clear insights into “what’s really going on” in your environment.  

In this webinar, Progress solutions expert Filip Cerny will introduce you to Network Detection and Response (NDR) and discuss:  

- Why network visibility matters 

- How to use network visibility in daily cross-department operations (and get the most out of it) 

- Why network visibility is key to building a resilient security architecture

Intelligent Network Monitoring and Visibility — and Why It Matters

Zero Trust is a defensive framework that makes sense in the real world. Assume breach, explicitly verify and use least privileged access are the Zero Trust principles that define the defensive strategy.

With cyber threats on the rise each year, ensuring the security of your IT estate and being able to respond quickly to any potential threat is more crucial than ever. This is why Network Detection and Response tools play such a critical role in your security posture. 

In this webinar, Filip Cerny, Flowmon Product Marketing Expert at Progress, will introduce you to our Network Detection & Response tools, exploring the benefits of adding them to the solutions already deployed in your network infrastructure.

Introduction to Network Detection and Response

Today’s IT infrastructure is an increasingly complex mix of servers, clouds, devices and applications. End-to-end visibility is necessary for network and system administrators to address outages, hardware failures, software performance issues, traffic bottlenecks and potential security threats.

As a result, IT infrastructure management (ITIM) solutions must be able to discover, manage and report on the widest variety of network devices (e.g., routers, switches, firewalls), servers (virtual and physical), and clouds (e.g, AWS, Azure). The more your solution can discover and identify, the easier it will be to implement and automate your monitoring activities.

Public sector organizations have needs very different from their commercial counterparts. Cybercriminals go after public sector organizations because they hold confidential, often classified, information – the exact data state-sponsored and other criminal groups salivate over. Being based on tax payments, these organizations serve and answer to the public. 

Progress WhatsUp Gold offers ample out-of-the box monitoring features, helping you to monitor more of what matters to your organization. 

In this webinar you will learn:
- Industry best practices for monitoring networks, servers and clouds 
- The most common monitoring issues the Public Sector faces
- Examples of how WhatsUp Gold is used in the Public Sector

With so much data generated every second, information overload is a growing challenge. The ability to leverage this data and understand its meaning is critical. Organizations are capitalizing on generative AI advancements to enhance their search and decision-making processes and personalize customer experiences. However, they struggle to integrate these AI models with their private data in a secure and compliant way while maintaining the trustworthiness and quality of the AI outcomes. Agile, semantic RAG-based generative AI can significantly enhance search experiences by retrieving the content most relevant to the user’s query. 

In this presentation, Imran Chaudhri, Head Architect, AI, Healthcare & Life Sciences at Progress, will outline how organizations can use an agile, semantic-enabled data platform to revolutionize how they interact with data and generate content.

Participants will learn how to:
- Achieve trustworthy, accurate generative AI outputs
- Improve search results by adding context and meaning to your enterprise data so you can provide the best reference content to your genAI 
- Reduce operational costs associated with RAG implementation

Join us to discover how embracing generative AI can optimize your search retrieval mechanisms and deliver unparalleled accuracy for users.

But moving from theoretical to practical observability takes thoughtful planning and the right platform. In this webinar, we will discuss:

- What is observability and why is it critical to your network operations?
- What do we mean by highly distributed environments?
- The types of data collected and used for observability
- The factors you must consider when selecting an observability platform

In today's world of global supply chains, a breach never stops at a supplier level but cascades all the way up the chain. So being able to detect and stop a supply chain attack at an early stage before an attacker exfiltrates confidential company data or damages company operations and reputation is critical to your organization's survival. Luckily, hackers always leave a trace, so proper detection can help you stop breaches at an early stage before hackers achieve their goals.

Join us for our webinar, Anatomy of a Supply Chain Attack (Detection and Response), where Progress Expert Pavel Minarik will show you what footprints are left in the network at every stage of an attack and how these can be detected by the Network Detection and Response technology of Flowmon ADS.
