Unlocking Legacy Systems for Enterprise Mobility

If you have been tasked with building an application security program, or your organization is starting to consider one, you may be curious where to start.

Not only does application security rely on sound security understanding, it also relies on a fundamental understanding of software development. You must consider things like budget, or lack thereof, resources, priorities, and strategy when building an application security program.

In this talk, James Jardine, CEO of DevelopSec, will talk about these different considerations when just getting started. Come learn some of the key elements to helping get your application security program started in the right direction.

James Jardine is CEO of DevelopSec, owner of Jardine Software, an application security consultancy, as well as founder and regular contributor to Down the Security Rabbit Hole and DevelopSec podcasts. He has over 16 years experience focusing on application security and software development. James is a regular keynote speaker, including InfoSec World 2017.

Microservices architectures provide unprecedented agility and scalability for enterprise applications. However, despite being so popular with the tech community, not everyone understands when or how to use microservices to innovate their IT architecture. So what does it take to become faster and more resilient in the digital transformation era? Join this panel and learn more:

- What are the benefits of adopting microservices?
- Are microservices for everyone?
- Are microservices a good fit for legacy architectures?
- How to use microservices for innovation purposes?

The panelists:
- Daniel Bryant, CTO at SpectoLabs, Independent Technical Consultant, and Editor at InfoQ
- Steve Pember, CTO, ThirdChannel
- John Griffith, Principal Software Engineer, NetApp
- Canonical speaker TBD

As teams transform digital experience, traditional legacy applications create disjointed data flows and impede crafting end-to-end digital workflows. To advance user experience, teams must create a holistic architecture and transition plan that integrates and then decommissions existing applications.

Learn how successful teams transition to microservice architectures and streamlined digital experiences by smartly integrating new school microservices with existing siloed applications.

Join this webcast to learn how to:
- Reduce digital channel technical debt
- Reinvent the user experience
- Modernize your legacy applications

The adoption and popularity of containerized applications has exploded in recent years. According to Gartner, more than 50% of new workloads will be deployed in containers by 2018.

But where does that leave the other 50%? How are virtual machines measuring up and how will applications built on these infrastructures survive the digital transformation caused by Docker and other container platforms?

Join this expert panel discussion with Tarak Modi, President & CTO of TekNirvana, Swen Conrad, CEO of Ocean9, and Phil Mullan, Head of Engineering at Huddle, to discuss which IT infrastructure makes the most sense for your business in the digital age, and the pros and cons of different operating systems.

The adoption of new approaches to business is accelerating fast and what ‘digital transformation’ means is changing at an astonishing rate. We already have legacy implementations and lots of fragmentation from early forays into cloud services. How do we execute a new transformation strategy while trying to manage multiple platforms from mainframe to legacy cloud?
​
Engaging multiple disciplines and technologies and driving change rapidly whilst continuing to operate a business dependent on legacy systems requires significant cultural change and while much of this must come from within the business, there is a real opportunity for CIOs to create and own the digital agenda.  In this session, Simon will examine different approaches to people, process and technology that can be used to enable a coherent transformation strategy.

The microservice architecture has become an established and powerful way to structure large scale systems, providing a component model that scales both at the human and system levels. It is by nature an architecture that has lots of small parts. And it's easy to make a big
mess with lots of little things.

Complexity has moved into the network. That's a better place for it than unreadable code. But you still need to know how to manage that complexity. What are the patterns that you use to build message flows between services? What are the ways that those messages flows will
fail? Are they scalable? How do you distribute complexity evenly?

To answer these questions, you need to be able to visualize your microservice interactions, so you can describe them and make them accessible. This talk provides practical answers to
those questions, provides you with a method for designing microservice architectures, and introduces a new visual syntax to describe them.

building microservice systems. His first book Mobile Application Development in the Cloud (Wiley, 2010) is one of the first major works on the intersection of Node.js, Cloud, and Mobile.
Richard was previously CTO of FeedHenry, a mobile application platform provider that was acquired by RedHat for €63.5m in 2014.
Since Richard co-founded nearForm in 2011, the company has become the world’s largest Node.js and microservices consulting company.

Docker containers are changing the way we build, deploy, and access current day software solutions. They help us build, share and use software across any device, on any platform and anywhere in a seamless manner. In this session, you will see how to dockerize a basic piece of software, pushing it to the docker registry and pulling other docker images into your system.
