TEC37 Data Center Series E07: Trends Shaping Data Protection Strategies
Join host Robb Boyd as he speaks with WWT's Michael Ambroso and Dustin Zitzmann about emerging trends in the data protection market and key considerations for keeping your organization's data secure.
Securing and Scaling a Workforce On-the-Go with SASE | TEC37
The proverbial four walls of the office have dissolved as today's hybrid workforce is finding new ways and places to plug in and work. As such, the secure access service edge (SASE) has emerged as a unified way to connect users, devices, applications, services and platforms from anywhere at any time. But SASE is a significant architectural shift. And the market is complex and dynamic, leaving leaders lost for how to get started.
Join WWT Technical Solutions Architect Brianna Sideris as she talks about how the network and security worlds are colliding to deliver Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and how your org can prepare to take advantage of the Secure Business outcome that SASE provides. Brianna also identifies common use cases pushing SASE and SSE architectures front and center, the implications those strategies have on enterprise infrastructure and practical steps you can take to make it all work.
How Cloud Optimization Saves Money and Positions You for Long-Term Success | TEC37
Cloud adoption has accelerated in recent years. Whether spurred by the pandemic, the need to enable hybrid work, or the desire to meet heightened consumer expectations for digital experiences, most organizations have a cloud footprint today. Yet in their rush to migrate, many organizations took shortcuts -- the consequences of which will make it harder to scale their footprint and realize the full benefits of their investment. That's where cloud optimization comes in.
Join WWT Director of Cloud Platform Jack French and WWT Cloud Marketplace Specialist Josh Bushman as they discuss cloud optimization's critical role in achieving long-term cloud success. Given cloud's reach across technology stacks, their discussion focuses on some top ways organizations can put optimization into action, including tips for implementing best practices around cloud governance, cloud cost management, cloud security and cloud marketplaces.
TEC37 Security Series E07: 5 Pillars of Identity and Access Management
Identity and access management (IAM) is a balancing act. On the one hand, organizations need to mature their capabilities as corporate assets increasingly live outside the traditional security perimeter. On the other hand, this can't come at the cost of complicating the end-user experience. By focusing on five pillars of IAM, organizations can strike a balance, and give the right users the right level of access to enterprise resources at the right time. Join host Robb Boyd as he speaks with WWT's Mike Wampler, Principal Security Consultant, and Maafu Shabaz, Principal Consultant. They'll discuss how organizations can adopt identity principles and practices to drive a cohesive, strategic approach to IAM.
Investing in Edge Computing to Squeeze Even More Value Out of the Cloud | TEC37
Cloud has been at the forefront of enterprise digital transformation over the last several years, but the massive amounts of data coming in and out of the cloud -- combined with the growing number of connected devices needed to do business -- is starting to lead to slowness and timeout of applications. What can we do to fix this? This is where cloud edge hybrid solutions come in.
Join WWT Senior Solutions Consultant Jennifer Adefala and Distinguished Solutions Architect Curt Stalhood as they discuss edge computing's role in unlocking even more value out of the cloud. Jennifer and Curt also talk about the complexities involved with optimizing the cloud to take immediate advantage of solutions like edge and practical steps organizations can take to put cloud edge into action.

Let Me Be Clear: How to Gain Clarity and Control to Bolster Your Cyber Defenses | TEC37
Enterprise IT is more complex than ever as the era of hybrid work and decentralized applications can quickly lead to unpredictable data flows and surprises around seemingly every corner. Security teams need more control, not less. But how can you implement a holistic approach built around people, process and technology? The answer isn't always clear.
Join WWT security experts Matt Berry and Jill Cochrane, two cybersecurity industry veterans, as they discuss the challenges of observability and visibility -- the foundation of any cyber program -- from both a technical and business perspective. Matt and Jill offer tips and tricks on how you can gain clarity in what devices and applications are connected to the network, what each application and device is doing, and whether it's doing what it's supposed to be doing.
Go Big or Go Home: How to Pack More Features Into Existing Network Architectures | TEC37
Network traffic is growing more complex each and every day as hybrid and remote work continues to be the norm. That's putting traditional network architectures in a state of major upheaval after decades of relative stagnation. Wi-Fi, secure access service edge (SASE), private wireless -- options for connectivity keep growing. This includes transport networks, which are evolving to deliver new services and user experiences.
Join WWT technical solution architects Joshua Hogan and Tyler Tappy as they discuss the important details of implementing a converged transport network, which takes the long-reach optical technology typically found in standalone optical networks and consolidates it into a compact, high-performance router. Joshua and Tyler also cover key steps to putting a converged transport network into action.
Is Your Data Secure in the Cloud? | TEC37
Now that they're in the cloud, many organizations are asking whether their rush to migrate all workloads and applications was really best for the long-term success of the business. Cloud security plays a big part in that consideration. So, how should organizations think about this balancing act between "embracing everything cloud" vs "protecting their most valuable data"? Has the recent acceleration in cloud adoption changed the traditional function/role of security teams?
Join Clint Huffaker, WWT's Application and API Security Lead, as he shares valuable context related to those questions. He also dives into what an ideal cloud security program looks like, why cloud developers are being asked to "shift left," and what steps leaders can take now to help cloud security enable the business and unlock the full value promised by investment in the cloud.
Making Sense of Identity and Access Management | TEC37
As businesses interact and transact with an ever-growing ecosystem of employees, customers, third-party vendors and supply chains, identity-related risks are rapidly increasing. A foundational identity and access management (IAM) program helps makes sense of the chaos and hardens your organization's overall security posture. It's also a vital prerequisite for taking advantage of the latest security frameworks, including zero trust and SASE/SSE architectures.
Join WWT Senior Practice Manager Jayson Yee as he shares how organizations can start--or mature--their IAM journey. He'll highlight how to evaluate vendors tailored to your organization's unique use cases, the benefits and drivers of a strong IAM program, and areas where your organization may already have identity technology deployed.
