  • Why Digital Transformation Matters for Improved Employee Experience Dec 7 2021 6:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    Muddu Sudhakar, CEO, Aisera
    Among the many factors that continue to drive change in today’s ever-evolving business landscape, two stand out: digital transformation and COVID-19. With COVID-19, IT organizations and service management teams are shifting priorities. The challenges with supporting remote workforces suddenly changed, resulting in new mandatory requirements for an agile, flexible, yet resilient approach to delivering better employee experiences while trying to maintain business growth.

    Digital interactions are the new norm, where large populations of remote workers require support services by IT services. The best modern support experiences leverage AI and hyperautomation to give employees a personalized and frictionless experience across all channels. Scaling service experience with self-help AI-driven resolutions and end-to-end automation to augment business tasks, actions, and workflows are the key to accelerating business transformation.

  • AISM for IT and DevOps Aug 10 2021 5:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    Muddu Sudhakar, CEO, Aisera
    The agility, iterative approach, and reactive nature of DevOps took the place of the endless preparatory and super conservative planning for even the smallest change typically common in older IT environments. However, the extremely dynamic nature of modern application stacks and deployments has created a new set of problems.

    In this session you will learn:
    - Limitations of DevOps for modern systems from the lack of visibility in elastic infrastructures to the difficulty in finding the root cause of service disruption
    - Capabilities of Artificial Intelligence to uncover new patterns in operations undetected by traditional tools
    - The value of AIOps to identify the root cause and deliver actionable automation for modern applications

  • Being IN on Innovation - An art, a science, a mindset! Aug 10 2021 10:00 am UTC 60 mins
    Simone Jo Moore, Humanising IT, Mixologist at SJM
    “We need to be, and remain, fluid in the way we approach change beyond digital transformation!”

    So many understand and experience innovation differently. Creating something new often means living on the outside edge. However, it’s often when you’re on the ‘IN’side that your curiosity and detective work opens up depths to new paths you didn’t know existed. Mostly, we only skim the surface of innovation’s potential. Do you want to ‘dunk’ under the surface or submerse yourself?

    Let’s briefly explore the thinking, context and abilities that develop from being IN on Innovation and the maturing relationships between frameworks and their impact on humanising IT.

  • Countering Social Engineering with an ITSM-DevOps Approach Recorded: May 20 2021 63 mins
    Kim Scofield, Partner & Founder of Bad Wolf Community; Founder of Blonde Bad Wolf Consulting and Space 42.ca
    2021 brings great change and great opportunity. As organizations power up both their technology and their people, in many cases as a direct result of pandemic pivots, ITSM must match these choices by powering up our collaboration, cross-team communication, and organizational support from all levels - end-user to the boardroom.

    In this talk I want to focus on a specific area of ITSM that is particularly affected by this rapid acceleration of technology: end-user security breaches. Accelerated adoption of technology increases opportunity for cyber-criminals to slip past our defences. Accelerating technology, without accelerating Digital Transformation, is a recipe for social engineering disaster.

    To combat this, let’s re-engineer ourselves, as ITSM, to team up with our end-users and put a wrench in the social engineering tactics of cyber criminals by bringing together the powerhouse resources of the agile, collaborative culture of DevOps (Development and Operations), and the process and control of ITSM (Information Technology Service Management).

    Three key pieces: First, the ITSM team: effective, innovative ITSM starts with a strong, unified, IT team working within a DevOps inspired ethos of agile communication and collaboration.
    Next, CSuite buy-in of the budget, technology, and training. The brass tacks of business is profit and a solid ITSM framework can optimally communicate budget, analytics, and ROI.
    Third, empower the end-user. Educate, support, and listen.

    Takeaways
    ⁃ Effective ITSM starts with your IT team - Create a strong, unified, team working within a culture of communication and collaboration.
    ⁃ CSuite buy-in: A solid ITSM framework can to the optimal budget, analytics, and ROI.
    ⁃ Empower the end user - accelerated adoption of technology leaves wide gaps for cybercrime to slip past our defenses. Educate, support, and listen.

  • Putting the Sec in “DevSecOps”, automating cloud security as an enabler Recorded: May 20 2021 58 mins
    Matt Johnson, Developer Advocate for Bridgecrew.io
    The security function in most development environments is broken. With engineers focused on features and devops allowing them to move rapidly and self-provision around their own hurdles, it’s impossible for reactive, traditional security tools to keep up with an ever changing production environment. Even with a security engineer within the team, the chance of catching every bad-default in Terraform, or hidden * in a wide-open IAM policy is next to impossible with the ever growing suite of cloud services. In this talk, we’ll show how to, with very little effort, shift security left into code, enabling automated scanning and highlighting of security risks at build time, with helpful remediation advice for all. Knowing is the first step to improving, and automation makes knowing easy. You bring your DevOps pipeline, we’ll show you how.

  • Maturity Through Metrics Recorded: May 19 2021 56 mins
    Beverly Weed-Schertzer, Author at edifyIT
    Reporting only at the technical level in Information Technology only impedes ITSM success. The goal is to drive business performance, growth, and sustainability through technology. To begin, you need to understand the current ITSM environment that manages the technology performance. Once this is understood, set the intentions to mature business performance through the use of metrics. In this webinar, I'll cover ITSM metrics and the essential business maturity metrics that provide a well rounded outlet to measure ITSM and its impact or influence to business performance.

    - IT as a strategic business unit
    - Business Maturity metrics provide the business perspective
    - Maturity Metrics bundle for ITSM and business performance

  • Proactive Breach Prevention using Automated Compliance and Continuous Auditing Recorded: May 19 2021 24 mins
    Niklas Nilsson, Senior Information Technology Consultant at Nexer Group
    Requiring non-security specialists to describe their posture and informing the management hierarchies on our current security posture is difficult. The language is foreign and does not lend itself to exactness. The eternal question is “Are we secure? The expected answer then cannot be “It depends…”, but rather an aggregated statement, very close to a single “Yes” or “No”.

    In case of a negative response, it is also expected to hear of the gaps and the plans to fill them to become secure again.

    To accomplish this aggregated statement, a traditional assurance cycle of up to a year is too slow. The product owners need to have security activities in their backlog, they need to know when circumstances change to be able to address them based on risk. The management hierarchy needs to be informed with the current security posture and what implications that brings.

    The road to prevent breaches is paved with measurements, a quick feed-back loop and AI assisted decision making. All meant to push security decisions out in the organization.

    Here one could add the analogy of driving a car, where the driver, or senior manager, has to take decisions based on situational awareness and information provided by the car. The driver does not need to know the exact oil pressure or the cooling temperature, but rather if it has reached a hazardous level. The driver cannot base decisions on oil pressure solely by dipping the stick before starting the journey, which would be equivalent to classic compliance.

    To prevent breaches senior management need to know that circumstances have changed, when they change, and ultimately that they are about to change.

    In this webinar you will be inspired by a Proof of Concept and an idea of how to implement and extend it.

  • Enterprise Automation and RPA: All about Botifying the BOT Recorded: May 18 2021 34 mins
    Fawzi BenMessaoud, Professor of Informatics & AI, Indiana University & Purdue University School of Informatics & Computing
    Fueled by extreme connectedness, data explosions, cloud computing, and the rise of AI and the democratization of AIOps, AI and cognitive bot automation has becoming the most integral part of any organization’s Digital Transformation (DX) strategy. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has also permeated most organizational and social environments to become an engine for innovation and a driving force in just about all enterprises. However, with RPA, it takes more than just an IT or DX strategy to deploy a digital workforce to automate or utilize cognitive bots to improve the user experience and business insights. This session addresses how Enterprise RPA is all about Botifying the “BOT”, Business, Organization, and Technology to provide insights only humans were capable of doing up to this point or numberX human productivity and performance i.e. 10x more. This session also shares insights and advice on how RP4A, not just RPA would deliver on the advantage of freeing humans to focus on tasks that do require emotional intelligence, consciousness reasoning, ethical judging, and the human factor interactions with customers, rather than performing repetitive and boring tasks.

  • Pitfalls in privacy data wrangling Recorded: Mar 16 2021 47 mins
    William Bello FIP CIPP/E CIPM CIPT, Senior Privacy Business Consultant, Bello Consulting
    Fairy tales most often start with sentence: “Once upon a time there was a …” - Facebook?! Does any of you remember mobile app named “Foursquare”? It was very popular until a Russian-based developer used it to display “girls around me”. Data is a resource. Big data is a big resource. But - a big responsibility as well. It brings opportunity and it make threat. In world today we witness a steady rise of privacy concern and user awareness about what is right and what is wrong. Not only that, but regulations around the world guarantee certain rights to data subjects or consumers. Cambridge Analytica Ltd is very good example of Facebook data wrangling misuse or one could call this “data breach”.

    Careless use of meshed data or during company merge collecting data together from different anonymized sources into one data lake might be a potential serious risk for new organization. Can you imagine number of data collected over past decades on UK servers based on R&D under EU regulation? As we experience Brexit all the data wrangling using this meshed data raise legal ground question for further processing and secondary use. Privacy by design and by default is a key to proof accountability and key points we will discuss during talk are:

    • Data wrangling core ideas of discovering, structuring, cleaning, enriching, validating and publishing during data life cycle stages: collection, processing, disclosure, retention and destruction

    • How to secure enterprise data wrangling using GDPR and NIST as a privacy framework?

  • Thinking Like A Hacker Recorded: Mar 15 2021 55 mins
    Josh Stella, Fugue Co-Founder, CEO and CTO
    When it comes to cloud misconfiguration vulnerabilities, compliance frameworks and monitoring tools aren’t always going to help you. If you’re using the cloud, odds are your security model is broken.
    The cloud changed the way hackers think and operate: Rather than targeting an organization and then searching for vulnerabilities to exploit, hackers use automation to scan the internet looking for cloud misconfigurations to exploit.

    Once an attacker has access to your environment, they use IAM resources like a network to move laterally, find data, and extract it. We’ve graduated from simple misconfiguration mistakes to techniques bad actors are using today to breach data out from under the most advanced cloud security teams—often without detection.

    In this talk, Josh Stella Fugue Co-Founder , CEO and CTO, will put you into the hacker mindset so you can think more critically about fixing your broken cloud security.

    Specifically, this talk will cover:
    - Common cloud misconfigurations that compliance won’t catch
    - How attackers take advantage of IAM misconfigurations
    - How to find advanced misconfiguration vulnerabilities and fix them
    - Strategies for remediation and building security into cloud design
