Assessing Cloud Providers – A Practical Approach from the CSA

In the past, IT operations teams tended to focus on using either big data analytics or machine learning to grow business intelligence. But the big data landscape has evolved, and emerging platforms now combine both types of solutions. The question is, how do you choose the one that’s right for you?

This 35-minute webinar tells you how. You’ll learn:

What big data is and where it fits in your IT operation.
How to ensure comprehensive insight into past, present, and future states of IT systems. (Hint: Employ AIOps platforms that can ingest and access log data, text data, wire data, metrics, and API data.)
How multivendor solutions can be deployed and supported across both new and existing applications.
How the Micro Focus solution works (you’ll see a demo) and why it’s worth your consideration.

The latest edition of the World Quality Report 2018-19 analyses responses from 1700 CIOs and other IT Professionals in 32 countries, across ten different sectors, and discussed the trends shaping QA and testing today, along with recommendation for addressing tomorrow’s challenges.

Increase service quality across your entire service management lifecycle by effectively leveraging all your data sources via a true Configuration Management System.

The CMS needs to be the authorized source of reconciled and normalized data for all IT management processes like change and incident management, event management and IT asset management. These processes are then aligned around common data (services, servers, etc.), and the decision making process is based on relevant and constantly updated information.

Webinar will cover:

How an intuitive modern UI enables all users to access the valuable CMS data
How to ensure you are accurately mapping changes in cloud environments with real-time discovery
How discovery powered by machine learning facilitates software recognition

Nearly every business today is facing exponential business growth with huge volumes of information in diverse formats spread across numerous repositories. Industry and government regulations continue to escalate, requiring diligent compliance and introduction of defensible deletion across all electronically stored information.

Join us to discover how you can control the growth of mission-critical databases by automating the migration or retirement of data while preserving its business value and protecting sensitive information.

Learn how you can:
-Discover and protect sensitive data - Automatically discover sensitive data including PII across repositories and apply intelligent format preserving encryption to sensitive information

-Comply to GDPR - Delete relevant data and protect or mask sensitive information

-Lower TCO - Reduce data footprint and storage costs including hardware, maintenance and administration

-Federated data access - Simultaneous access to production and archived data using combined reporting and increase data accessibility utilizing conceptual search

As with many organisations, you are likely to store data in a number of systems and information repositories. But as data volumes continue to increase, you face significant business risks and loss of efficiency because you simply can’t control all the information contained in siloed repositories. Time is wasted looking for specific documents that have not been managed appropriately—and you may not be fully aware of what other information you actually have.

Join us to discover how you can:

-Clean up legacy data - Shine a light on dark data that is sitting unmanaged in email repositories, file shares, and SharePoint sites to save significant storage costs and gain better access to valuable information.

-Automate records declaration - Minimise the cost and risk of declaring records to be managed in a records management system for long-term governance.

-Intelligently migrate to the cloud - Analyse vast amounts of enterprise data and intelligently migrate targeted information to Cloud-based repositories for improved security, user access and lower overall storage costs.

-Drive your future information governance strategy with better business insight.

-Become compliant with regulations like GDPR, through the discovery of sensitive and personal unstructured data using document categorization and applied policy based actions to reduce risk and enhance compliance

Many organisations are realising the benefits of integrating electronic records management into their enterprise content management practises. This is because of its proven mechanisms for proactively capturing and organising the documentary evidence that makes up the regular course of business.

Join us to discover how you can significantly improve business efficiency and productivity, information security, and operational cost savings, whilst proactively managing both business content and records throughout the content lifecycle, from the point of creation through to disposal.

Learn how you can:

-Reduce errors and manual tasks - Improve the efficiency of staff and systems with automatic classification, folder creation, policy application and advanced disposal processing.

-Have transparent and compliant management of critical content and records - Integration with Microsoft Office 365, OneDrive, and SharePoint without negatively impacting the collaborative or cloud experience.

-Gain extensive security and access controls - improve privacy for managed content while simplifying the defensible disposal of content that has expired or has no residual value.

-Lower retention management cost and complexity - Policy automation across multiple jurisdictions simplifies compliance with regulatory mandates such as privacy, freedom of information, FRCP, or DoD5015.2.

Fortify on Demand analysis shows broad vulnerability in apps. The majority of web or mobile applications we analyzed had at least one critical or high severity issue. Furthermore, 1 out of 2 apps had critical or high vulnerabilities not covered by the OWASP Top 10 2017.

The biggest and most severe data breaches that have affected both the public and private sectors all operate at the application layer. That’s why it is important that organizations take a holistic view and include application security and vulnerability assessment as part of their software development program.

In this webinar, we will share results from our recent primary research study that reveals:
• The top application security risks
• Where these risks originate
• How to remediate these risks
• Best practices to protect your business

You may rely on open source to develop, test or monitor your applications. In Micro Focus, our business depends on it.

Every product that we release uses or adds value to open source software.
In this webinar, we will demonstrate how you can protect and extend your organization’s strategic investment in open source software for application delivery management.

While ITSM is often delivered via software as a service (SaaS), businesses today are looking for different deployment options. The world is in flux, and strategies evolve. Businesses using SaaS today may need to migrate to a private cloud in the future. Similarly, some companies have strict security and compliance policies around data sovereignty, making on-premises deployment mandatory. That’s why it’s important to factor deployment flexibility into your evaluation of modern ITSM solutions.

This webinar will cover:
1.How Flexible Container Technology provides Portability, Faster Time to Value, and Lower TCO
2.How seamless upgrades can be achieved in conjunction with Codeless Configuration
