Let Me Be Clear: How to Gain Clarity and Control to Bolster Your Cyber Defenses | Research

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.

Cisco ACI Multisite Lab 1 - Dual site APIC Setup, Best Practices Lab and Tutorial

Cisco's ACI Anywhere vision is to allow a single security and connectivity policy with a single pane of glass to manage all multicloud environments. The key to ACI Anywhere is the ACI Multi-Site Orchestrator (MSO), which allows the administrator to create consistent security and connectivity policies across multiple physical, virtual, and cloud-based sites. Please note that these four ACI Multisite lab modules are 301 level and our 101 and 201 ACI training labs should be completed before attempting these labs. Basic ACI concepts, labs, and tutorials are explained in detail in our ACI 101 and 202 level training labs. In addition, we also recommend reading our articles on ACI and multi-pod and multisite fundamentals before doing the labs for a thorough learning experience. Please go to the resources to see our recommended ACI syllabus to become an ACI expert.
