The secret to managing multiple websites

Forrester Research interviewed digital leaders at enterprise organizations and found that, on average, they were maintaining 268 customer-facing websites and applications. As the number of websites you manage continues to grow, so do the number of challenges in managing it. Often the websites are designed by different teams, are built using different languages and frameworks, and run on different hosting solutions with different DevOps tools and workflows.

Defining Your IT Security Perimeter

It wasn’t too long ago that a security system would be nothing more than a few walls, some cameras, and an inattentive security guard. That’s no longer the case In today’s digital landscape. Now organizations must invest in securing their assets from a growing number of cyberthreats. To start, they must first draw up the boundaries of their IT security perimeter.

Tigera: Identity-aware microsegmentation for zero-trust security for containers, cloud, and Kubernetes

Cloud-native applications take full advantage of the distributed, scalable, flexible nature of the public cloud deployments thus generate a significantly greater percentage of east-west traffic. This shift has created a larger attack surface area and greater potential for free lateral movement within these application infrastructures. Microsegmentation allows security, platform owners, and networking professional to create secure "islands" within their distributed infrastructure and control access to those islands for all types of users, whether they are outsiders, customers, or employees logging in from various locations. It is central to implementing a zero trust security model for cloud-native applications.

Tigera: Microsoft and Tigera: Hands-on AKS workshop for container and Kubernetes security and observability

In this AKS-focused workshop about container and Kubernetes security and observability, you will work with Microsoft and Calico experts to learn how to design, deploy, and observe container and cloud-native networking security in an AKS or Microsoft Azure environment. This 90-minute hands-on lab with your own provisioned AKS and Calico Cloud environment is designed to provide more complete knowledge on how to implement.

Tigera: 4 ways enterprises do container security and cloud-native network security together

As more organizations adopt microservices based architecture runnning on containers for their cloud-native application, it expands the attack surface at build, deploy and run time. A security approach that only relies on detecting image vulnerabilities and misconfigurations is not enough to secure the application. Security, DevOps, SREs, DevSecOps and platform owners not only need the ability to observe, monitor not only these containers for malicious activity at build time but also require runtime security for the application. In this webinar, you will learn how enterprises address both container and cloud-native network security for build, deploy and run-time.

Tigera: AWS Dev Day: Hands-on EKS workshop about cloud-native application security and observability

HAProxy: [Live Webinar] HAProxy Skills Lab: Health Checking Servers

A common misconception is that load balancing is enough to achieve high availability. That is only true when you factor in one, very important feature: health checks! Health checks monitor your servers for issues. If a server loses connectivity or begins returning errors, the checks allow HAProxy to quickly remove it from the load balancing rotation. It's simple to set up, but there are plenty of options for fine tuning the behavior.
