Most organizations are awash today in data and IT systems, yet they’re still struggling mightily to use these invaluable assets to meet the rising demand for new digital solutions and customer experiences that drive innovation and growth. What’s lacking are potent and effective ways to rapidly combine together on-premises IT and the numerous commercial clouds that the average organization has in place today into effective new business solutions. New research shows that delivering on multicloud experience creation both sustainably and cost-effectively at scale is the single most important way to meet this existential challenge that can create rapid business value and sustain relevancy in the market. Yet the majority of organizations have been slow to put the needed delivery capabilities in place.

Hacking Into IoT Session at @CloudEXPO Silicon Valley | @DonMalloy #Cloud #CIO #IoT #IIoT #SmartCities #DigitalTransformation
History of how we got here. What IoT devices are most vulnerable? This presentation will demonstrate where hacks are most successful, through hardware, software, firmware or the radio connected to the network. The hacking of IoT devices and systems explained in 6 basic steps.
On the other side, protecting devices continue to be a challenging effort. Product vendors/developers and customers are all responsible for improving IoT device security.
The top 10 vulnerabilities will be presented and discussed.
Continuous Testing vs Test Automation | @CloudEXPO @AAkela @Tricentis #DevOps #Monitoring #ContinuousTesting
The past few years have brought a sea change in the way applications are architected, developed, and consumed-increasing both the complexity of testing and the business impact of software failures.
How can software testing professionals keep pace with modern application delivery, given the trends that impact both architectures (cloud, microservices, and APIs) and processes (DevOps, agile, and continuous delivery)? This is where continuous testing comes in.
Attend this session to discover why and how continuous testing is different from traditional test automation.
How to Improve SD-WAN App Performance | @CloudEXPO @Apcela #Cloud #CIO #API #Serverless #DataCenter
Yesterday, applications resided in the data center, while users resided in an office and enterprises relied on carriers for their WAN transport architecture. With this legacy approach, applications resided in centralized data centers with MPLS networks. Today, IT is moving to the cloud and users are mobile with the public internet being an increasingly critical component of the enterprise WAN and application performance. However, as applications move to the cloud, enterprises are struggling with increased application performance issues. Some of these include:
Kill the Middleman with a #Blockchain | @CloudEXPO @YFain @Cloud #CIO #FinTech #Blockchain #SmartCities
Blockchain is a new buzzword that promises to revolutionize the way we manage data. If the data is stored in a blockchain there is no need for a middleman – the distributed database is stored on multiple and there is no need to have a centralized server that will ensure that the transactions can be trusted.
The best way to understand how a blockchain works is to build one. During this presentation, we’ll start with covering the basics (hash, nounce, block, smart contracts) and then we’ll create a simple blockchain and a web client for it.
Disclaimer. This presentation is not about bitcoins, and it won’t make you rich overnight.
Three Pillars of CIA Triad IoT Security | @CloudEXPO @WindRiver #IoT #IIoT #SmartCities #DigitalTransformation
The transition from closed networks to enterprise IT networks to the public Internet is accelerating at an alarming pace-and justly raising alarms about security. As we become increasingly reliant on intelligent, interconnected devices in every aspect of our lives, how do we protect potentially billions of them from intrusions and interference that could compromise personal privacy or threaten public safety?
This discussion will highlight which means there are to protect IoT devices from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or even destruction. The base foundation for this kind of security is the CIA triad, composed of the following three pillars: confidentiality, integrity and availability. Confidentiality for preserving authorized restrictions on access and disclosure; integrity for guarding against improper information modification or destruction and ensuring information nonrepudiation and authenticity; and availability for ensuring timely and reliable access to the device and information.
Blockchain Law For Technologists | @CloudEXPO @BarclayDamonLLP #FinTech #Blockchain #Bitcoin #SmartCities
As the fourth industrial revolution continues to march forward, key questions remain related to the protection of software, cloud, AI, and automation intellectual property.
Recent developments in Supreme Court and lower court case law will be reviewed to explain the intricacies of what inventions are eligible for patent protection, how copyright law may be used to protect application programming interfaces (APIs), and the extent to which trademark and trade secret law may have expanded relevance to the cloud.
The Power of Immutable Infrastructure | @CloudEXPO @Zehicle @RackNGo @AndiMann #Cloud #CIO #DevOps #Serverless #ContinuousDelivery
The benefits of automated cloud deployments for speed, reliability and security are undeniable. The cornerstone of this approach, immutable deployment, promotes the idea of continuously rolling safe, stable images instead of trying to keep up with managing a fixed pool of virtual or physical machines. In this talk, we’ll explore the immutable infrastructure pattern and how to use continuous deployment and continuous integration (CI/CD) process to build and manage server images for any platform. Then we’ll show how automate deploying these images quickly and reliability with open DevOps tools like Terraform and Digital Rebar. Not only is this approach fast, it’s also more secure and robust for operators.
Intel to Present Cloud Infrastructure at @CloudEXPO | @Intel @IntelSoftware @ZhannaGrinko #Cloud #CIO #DataCenter #Monitoring
On-premise or off, you have powerful tools available to maximize the value of your infrastructure and you demand more visibility and operational control. Fortunately, data center management tools keep a vigil on memory contestation, power, thermal consumption, server health, and utilization, allowing better control no matter your cloud’s shape. In this session, learn how Intel software tools enable real-time monitoring and precise management to lower operational costs and optimize infrastructure for today even as you’re forecasting for tomorrow.
