The Enterprise Architecture channel  presents the next generation of Enterprise IT: recognizing the strategic importance of digital transformation and the data center to make companies more nimble and competitive. These presentations will help demanding IT and BizOps professionals achieve flexibility, scalability and performance with reduced risk and complexity.

One of the great challenges when implementing cybersecurity protection mechanisms is deciding between building a solution with a collection of "best-of -breed" solutions from various vendors or using a solution that can provide multiple layers of security using one overarching platform. There are good reasons to go in either direction. So how do you decide which is best for your specific needs? 

The presentation will provide useful insight to help you make that decision. It will provide useful information and consideration elements that can allow you to make the appropriate choice between various security products or a composite platform solution. 

Join this discussion to learn:
- How to evaluate various cybersecurity products.
- What is the difference between "best-of-breed" components and a platform solution.
- Cost and manpower considerations associated with the different solutions.
- The ability to use both of the options together for optimal protection.
- The various environments where each of the options would be considered the better solution.
- Creating a rational and defensible argument for your decision.

Best-of-Breed or a Platform Solution: Which is the Better Play?

Network infrastructure outages occur due to various factors like natural disasters, intentional attacks, and network failures. These outages are likely to result in the unavailability of critical network elements, impacts on services, and disruption of traffic flows. In order to protect themselves, companies should aim to implement strategies that both enable them to resist and tolerate failure and to recover mission critical communication elements within a business acceptable timescale. However, achieving this whole commitment can become a huge feat, dependent on the scope and age of the infrastructure, engagement with network providers, local distribution across multiple types of connectivity and services as well as the resources and network capacity necessary to manage the organizations “technology estate”.

Companies should ask themselves (as a starter) what strategy they are planning for and how they can best achieve this strategy within their technology structure. 

Tune into this session presented by our business continuity, disaster recovery, cyber resilience and major incident expert Steve Yates as he brings to light tips to redefine network infrastructure strategies in the “new world” as well as areas that companies must consider when considering resources and timescales for restoration of critical network services. Viewers are encouraged to privately share their major concerns in advance if they wish to gain the most from this session.

Viewers will come away from this session with the following takeaways:
- Become aware of common challenges they may encounter. 
- Form an understanding of redefining strategic direction.
- Ensure your organization embraces a joined-up thinking approach when delivering infrastructure resilience.

Leveraging the Power of AI and ML to Redefine and Reshape Network Architectures

In the midst of rapidly advancing technological progress, the rise of digitization and remote work has become a prevailing trend. As a result, critical infrastructures are increasingly susceptible to new risks, continually expanding the realm of cybersecurity threats and attack methods. 

Consequently, organizations are more inclined to entertain the notion of paying ransoms to threat actors. It is imperative for organizations to remain vigilant against these emerging threats to safeguard their systems. The recent proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has given rise to AI-powered cyber-attacks, which are experiencing exponential growth. This development has facilitated cybercriminals in creating sophisticated and innovative malware embedded with new zero-day vulnerabilities. 

AI-powered cyber-attacks leverage machine learning to adapt to evolving defenses and devise novel methods to circumvent them, all while remaining undetected. This enables them to establish an illicit, enduring presence within networks for the purpose of extracting highly sensitive data. 

In order to effectively counter advanced cyber-attacks, organizations must adopt a comprehensive approach and incorporate zero trust principles into their architecture. This involves: 
- Treating every device, node, or entity as a potential threat point. 
- Implementing explicit identification, authentication, and authorization measures. 
- Embracing a default deny model as opposed to a default access model. 
- Developing proactive incident response plans. 
- Providing cybersecurity best practices training for employees. 
- Deploying AI-powered cybersecurity solutions. 

We invite you to engage in thoughtful discourse on these topics, cultivating a clear understanding and exploring strategies for integrating zero trust into your scalable enterprise architecture.

Integrating Zero Trust in a Scalable Enterprise Architecture

While there has been excitement about NIST’s Zero Trust Architecture, many companies are struggling to figure out the right way to go about implementing zero trust.

How to Develop a Zero Trust Implementation Guide

Ransomware attacks continue to escalate in the enterprise. Analyst groups report that such attacks were occurring every 11 seconds in 2021 with the frequency increasing all the time. Analysts further note mean recovery costs of US$1.82M, median payments of US$400K, and total 2023 ransom payments in excess of US$1 billion. It is a serious threat to the enterprise, and one that is growing every day.

Traditional, single-layer protection mechanisms (i.e., firewall) can be easy to circumvent by clever ransomware tactics (e.g., breaking up the ransomware into pieces and reassembling it once it passes through the firewall). This vendor-agnostic presentation will review the architecture and benefits of a multilayer, collaborate network-to-storage protection architecture that is starting to be implemented by some vendors and will likely become more commonplace going forward.

Defeating Ransomware: Exploring a Collaborative Network-to-Storage Architecture

Achieving network resilience is not just a matter of having the latest ransomware software or firewall technology. Building sustainability, environmental management and green technology into a network infrastructure can help ensure its survival and resilience. 

This session will examine strategies and technologies that not only bolster your network’s green attributes but also enhance its resilience. You’ll also be better prepared for network audits that examine the use of green technology.

Any discussion about storage systems is incomplete without the mention of Throughput, IOPs, and Latency. But what exactly do these terms mean and why are they important?
Collectively, these three terms are often referred to as storage performance metrics. Performance can be defined as the effectiveness of a storage system to address I/O needs of an application or workload. Different application workloads have different I/O patterns, and with that arises different bottlenecks, so there is no “one-size fits all” in storage systems. These storage performance metrics help with storage solution design and selection based on application/workload demands
 In this webinar, we’ll cover:
• What storage performance metrics mean – understanding key terminology nuances
• Why users/storage administrators should care about them
• How these metrics impact application performance 
• Real-world use cases
