The Future of Infrastructure: Accelerating Automation with AIOps Intelligence

In today’s evolving threat landscape, protecting sensitive file data requires more than just traditional security measures. Join us for an expert-led webinar with David Lacey, and learn how to bring his teachings to life specifically for file transfers.

Discover why FTP and homegrown solutions can fall short in securing your critical data and learn how a layered security approach goes far beyond simple encryption. David will explore how to leverage Managed File Transfer (MFT) to fortify your file exchange processes while aligning with strict governance and compliance mandates.

Whether you’re just beginning your Zero Trust journey or looking to enhance your data transfer security, this session will equip you with practical measures to help keep your data safe at every stage.

Walk away with actionable tips and insights on how to:
- Adopt a Zero Trust approach: “never trust, always verify” is essential for protecting file data.
- Build resilience with a layered security strategy: identity verification, access controls, encryption in motion and rest, plus monitoring and audit trails.
- Address the human factor: if tools are clunky, employees find workarounds, putting data at risk.
- See how Managed File Transfer balances technology, governance and usability to deliver security without trade-offs.

Zero Trust in Action: Tackling Compliance and Securing File Data Exchanges Using Managed File Transfer

Legacy file transfer is slowing down modern IT teams. Manual processes, fragile scripts and bulky infrastructure create risk, inefficiency and constant firefighting. It’s time for a better way.

In this session, you’ll discover:
- How to reduce manual transfers and fragile scripts with intuitive, no-code automation
- Why a lightweight coordinator-agent architecture is essential for hybrid and distributed enterprises
- How to cut total cost of ownership by up to 50% compared to on-premises solutions
- What makes Automate MFT a strategic upgrade—not just a technical one—for CIOs and IT leaders

Whether you're replacing legacy systems or scaling secure transfers across cloud and on-premises environments, this webinar will show you how Automate MFT helps IT teams move from firefighting to forward momentum.

The Last File Transfer Platform You’ll Need: Cloud-Native, No-Code, Enterprise-Grade Security

AI leaders are under pressure to turn unstructured content into measurable outcomes quickly. But most DIY RAG projects stall in the messy middle: connectors, security, data governance, evaluation, and ongoing MLOps. On top of that, the technical stack is getting more complex - moving from basic RAG to Agentic RAG and now Model Context Protocols (MCPs) that broker connections to enterprise systems. In this session, we’ll compare internal “build” paths with Agentic RAG-as-a-Service, showing how a managed, modular stack accelerates time-to-value and de-risks production.

We’ll demystify the core components, covering what RAG is beyond the buzzwords, how Agentic RAG extends it with agents and workflows, and where MCPs fit into the architecture. From there, we’ll have a pragmatic build-vs-buy discussion, then look at how Agentic RAG moves from ingestion to verifiable, explainable answers with evaluation and governance baked in, so you can scale confidently.

Topics will include:
Why DIY RAG stalls AI projects time and time again
What are the building blocks of a RAG implementation and how do they fit together
The pros and cons of “build or buy” RAG
What RAG-as-a-Service actually delivers

Build vs. Buy for Enterprise RAG: The TCO, Risk & Speed Case for Agentic RAG-as-a-Service

Learn How to Leverage Chef to automate infrastructure management, ensuring continuous compliance and operational efficiency at scale.

Continuous Compliance at Scale: Automate, Secure, and Save with Chef

Manually fixing your infrastructure increases the risk of encountering potential cyberthreats. These processes are slow, inconsistent and leave you exposed. That’s where the Progress® Chef® solution comes in. It’s a SaaS-based DevSecOps automation platform that provides job orchestration capabilities to help you respond to incidents faster, safer and at scale. 

Join us for a 30-minute webinar to see how Chef job orchestration can help you automate incident response workflows, minimize exposure and maintain compliance even in the most critical situations. 

What You’ll Learn :

-Automate incident response workflows: Trigger remediation jobs directly from the platform. Isolate, block further exploitation, patch, rotate credentials and more. 

-Responding to security incidents in air-gapped environments: Update system configurations, apply patches or run remediation workflows even without internet. 

-Using targeted remediation techniques over guesswork: Act swiftly during security incidents by identifying the affected nodes and take corrective action on those nodes instead of targeting your entire infrastructure.   

-Safe rollouts with built-in rollbacks: Control risk with phased rollouts, failure detection and automated fallback plans.
