Andrew Lerner - Research Vice President, Networking at Gartner will reveal Gartner’s view on the State of Network Automation. He will review the categories of tools within Network automation and provide an aspirational view of the future, what good network automation looks like. He will conclude his session recorded specifically for the presentation with Recommendations from Gartner on the matter.  

This presentation will be followed by a demonstration of Network Automation applied to Application creation with DDI at its core, from a change request placed in a Change tool (e.g. ITSM) to the App being deployed via: 

--IPAM repository provisioning 
--Network & compute creations
--App removal to complete the App Life Cycle

You will also learn how DDI Automation is the hub for Network Automation.

State of Network Automation (Using DDI)

Join Pascal Tangapregassam, EfficientIP Senior Technical Marketing Manager for a webinar where you will see your clouds like never before. This presentation will be focusing on the two EfficientIP products included in the recent SOLIDserver 8.2 release: Network Object Manager and Cloud Observer.

Enhancing Network Automation & Cloud Management !

In this webinar presented by Chris Buijs, Chief Evangelist and Peter Goodwin, CSA Director EMEA at EfficientIP, learn why DNS needs to be part of every company’s security posture.

2022 IDC Data Results: It's Time to Take DNS Security Seriously!

According to EMA (Enterprise Management Associates) “NetSecOps:  Aligning  Networking  and  Security Teams to Ensure Digital Transformation” report, 75% enterprises have seen an increase of collaboration between Network and Security teams but only 39% are successful doing it.

In this webinar you will discover why a successful NetSecOps collaboration is essential for Digital Transformation and that for most organizations, public cloud, work-from-anywhere, data center modernization, and the internet of things are all driving the need for their network and security teams to work together.

You will also learn:
-- Why the security team’s need to examine network data is leading to more collaboration between networking and security groups,
-- How automation enables better collaboration between these teams,
-- How network management tools are supporting these partnerships.

Network & Security Teams Collaboration Key to Successful Digital Transformation

According to the 2021 Global DNS Threat Report from IDC, 87% of enterprises experienced one or more DNS-based attacks, 76% suffered application downtime (cloud and/or in-house) and 26% were the victim of data theft. In this webinar you will discover how you can make DNS your first line of defense to protect your applications, users and data. 

After reviewing the unique capability to filter applications access with DNS at the user level using allow/deny lists (whitelisting) combined with domains filtering, you will see a demonstration showing how various categories of users from “unknown” to IoT (including employees, guests, ITOps, SecOps) will be granted differentiated access to Internet categories, but more importantly to the internal applications and the infrastructure.

You will also learn about:
-- Zero Trust foundations and DNS security tenets
-- EfficientIP DNS security layer between users and applications
-- Zero Trust strategy using EfficientIP DNS security

App Access Control: Leveraging Allow Lists to Defend with DNS

Companies are moving to the cloud, with the expectation that it will bring them enhanced agility for service rollout, time and cost savings. The majority focus is on compute and storage, but IP resource provisioning and deprovisioning is often left as an afterthought. Generally, IP addresses are needed for all service components to communicate, not only with each other, but also with their environment.

Fast, efficient service rollout needs to rely on automated orchestrator-agnostic DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM). DDI is a foundation for cloud infrastructures, offering network managers greater control and deployment velocity.

Join the EfficientIP team for a webinar on how you can improve management of your cloud service deployments with DDI automation, thanks to:
- Increased visibility from a single viewpoint across your environment, including AWS and Azure
- Central repository offering a single source of truth
- Automation of processes to accelerate deployment

Protect Remote Workers, Cloud Apps and Data: IDC 2021 DNS Threat Report Findings

In this webcast- originally aired November 2020 for the ISMG Cybersecurity Summit in India & SAARC- you will learn how to build an effective zero trust strategy for your network by enhancing application access control using DNS. The session details how DNS offers real-time analytics on client behavior, due to its ability to have nearly 100% visibility on application traffic.

Effective Zero Trust: Enhancing App Access Control Using DNS

In this zero trust era, DNS remains a favorite target and vector due its criticality for linking users to apps. The IDC 2021 Threat Report revealed 87% of organizations suffered DNS attacks, with 76% of attacks causing app downtime. But as it sees almost all network traffic, DNS is by nature a first line of defense against malware, ransomware and data theft, overcoming the limitations of firewalls and IPS.

Learn how threat intelligence created from real-time analysis of DNS traffic enhances attack detection/mitigation and enables actionable security information to be fed to SIEMs, SOCs and ecosystem players like Cisco Umbrella. The session covers:

---The state of network security today
---Why DNS is a favorite target for threat actors
---Making DNS your first line of defense
---Demo of protecting against command and control (C&C) via DNS

Why DNS Is Your First Line of Defense

“You never know how much data you have until you put it all into one place. Having the primary source of truth be the IPAM was eye-opening for us.” - Ben Higgins, formerly of WPI

Join the roundtable moderated by EfficientIP, alongside network managers from McGill University and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, as they candidly discuss the use of DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) within their networks. This session covers:
--COVID-19 shifts
--Helpful integrations and future strategic IT initiatives
--Advice to peers
--Use of EfficientIP SOLIDserver

Roundtable: DDI for Supporting Network Best Practices and Initiatives

In this zero trust era, DNS remains a favorite target and vector due its criticality for linking users to apps. The IDC 2020 Threat Report revealed 79% of organizations suffered DNS attacks, with 82% of attacks causing app downtime. But as it sees almost all network traffic, DNS is by nature a first line of defense against malware, ransomware and data theft, overcoming the limitations of firewalls and IPS.

According to Gartner, only 26% of networking leaders maintain accurate network data, which hinders network automation progress. Factoring this with non-aligned operational team processes and a lack of defined network management tool strategy, results in strategic IT initiatives being stalled, or becoming less effective.

So how can you make the most of automation for your processes and workflows?

Join EfficientIP for a webinar on how Smart DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) enables the implementation of Gartner’s 3 recommendation for improving network automation by:
- Offering a single source of truth for IP data
- Providing repeatable configuration kits for standardization
- Connecting network management silos

How Smart DDI Enables Gartner’s 3 Network Automation Recommendations
