Tech Resources: Everything you need to get ahead

Hi {NAME}, The Register: Tech Resources - 21 August 2020 ### Building secure, speedy and manageable modern applications Businesses are rightly attracted to the combination of DevOps, microservices and automation, because they can together deliver the ability to rapidly iterate applications and delight customers with new functions. Container based delivery model and RESTful services are the new norm. With faster release cycles and more independent teams there is an increase in friction in integration due to lack of machine-readable contracts. RPC based API protocols like gRPC provides an efficient alternative for some use cases. However, the binary protocol might create security blind spots. Organizations need to consider the security and automation imperatives as they adopt the new ways. And that’s on top of the challenges that come with integrating the multiple technologies and toolsets that are inevitably involved in any project. To explore how your organisation can derive the benefits of modern application with hybrid languages and toolsets without running into trouble, The Register’s APAC editor Simon Sharwood together with F5’s Ravi Vagadia and Shahnawaz Backer will cover topics including: * RESTful or gRPC the protocol to choose * Proxying gRPC for security visibility * Introduction to open source polyglot server NGINX unit Signup Now ### Zero trust strategies to zap ransomware peril Sophisticated ransomware is a leading cause of data loss and business interruptions. And so you need to adapt your security strategy. The infrastructure you choose has a big impact on your ability to protect your business from cyber threats. Join industry veteran and security pro Mike Wronski of Nutanix as he explains to Tim Phillips about zero trust strategies combined with HCI can improve your security posture, defend against threats, help prevent your business from being the next victim of ransomware. What You'll Learn: * How and why enterprises are embracing a zero trust security strategy * Recommendations and tip for implementing zero trust in your environment * How the features and functions available in the Nutanix platform can be used as part of your strategy for prevention, detection, and recovery from ransomware Signup Now ### Remote and branch office IT success As organisations are becoming more digital and dispersed, it is increasingly important to have an agile approach to delivering IT at remote, branch (ROBO) and edge locations. These deployments often don’t receive the attention and resources of central sites but are often even more complex, covering a variety of deployment needs and sizes if you want to deliver more efficient, available and agile IT. Join Greg White from Nutanix and Tim Phillips from the Reg as they discuss how to deliver and manage applications, databases, VDI, and other workloads outside the datacentre: * Best practices to ensure long-term success for delivering IT infrastructure at ROBO and edge locations * Real-world examples of success * Key technologies and capabilities to consider Signup Now ### Meet the data protection challenges of accelerated cloud adoption Cloud and software-as-a-service have been saviours during the COVID-19 pandemic. But while the ability to quickly build infrastructure has been a blessing, it has also meant that data has gone into environments that IT teams may not have been able to properly protect or secure. In this webinar The Register’s APAC Editor Simon Sharwood and Veeam’s Nathan Steiner and Raymond Goh will explore the skills you need to adopt cloud on accelerated schedule, and how to assess whether the work you’ve done could use a little review. We’ll cover how to make sure skills honed on-premises translate into IaaS and SaaS environments, and the practices you need to master in the cloud. You’ll also learn how to: * PREPARE your organisation for data spread across a hybrid multi-cloud environment; * IDENTIFY and reduce the risks that cloud adoption creates; * SUPPORT ongoing digital transformation by assembling the teams you need for the new normal.
