Everyone says you have to have a good, tested backup plan; but what does that really mean? There's a discrepancy in the industry about what it means for an organization to truly be protected and resilient. During this conversation, experts from World Wide Technology and Rubrik will discuss the multi-faceted role of backups in data security and operational resilience efforts. They will discuss how companies can scan backups for indicators of compromise before recovery, ultimately reducing the amount of time it takes to recover from an attack. Additionally, they will highlight how companies can routinely backups for evidence of potentially malicious activities without impacting employee or customer-facing environments. Attendees will also hear real-world examples of how companies have effectively leveraged backups to quickly recover from attacks, as well as lessons learned that can be applied as part of public sector agencies' cyber resilience efforts.

SASE remains a major architectural shift with many components -- zero trust network architecture (ZTNA), cloud access security broker (CASB), SD-WAN, and now a new term: Security Service Edge (SSE). For adoption to be truly successful, engineering teams must explore hands-on how different solutions address SSE and how they integrate into broader SASE architectures. Use our Advanced Technology Center (ATC) to launch SSE integration labs on-demand, bookmark helpful content for reference, follow related topics to curate content specific to your needs, and connect directly with WWT technical experts.

In Riverbed's 2021 Hybrid Work Global Survey, 75 percent of business decision-makers reported that their organizations struggle to glean actionable insights their IT infrastructure data. The volume of data generated the siloed technologies used to manage performance and user experience are limiting IT teams' ability to make meaningful decisions that deliver the greatest business value and digital experience. The team at Riverbed is tackling this problem head-on with its Unified Observability portfolio, Alluvio by Riverbed. Leveraging Riverbed's visibility tools for network performance management, IT Infrastructure Monitoring and Digital Experience Management, Alluvio enables companies to quickly identify and resolve digital service quality issues. On this episode, we chat with Riverbed Federal CTO, Marlin McFate, about Alluvio and how companies are leveraging Unified Observability to effectively operationalize the data generated by their technology infrastructure.

World Wide Technology (WWT) and Fortinet, Inc. are partnering for a 60-minute webinar featuring a conversation between WWT's Chief Technology Advisor – Higher Education, Michael Sink and Fortinet's Field CISO for Education, Bob Turner How can education cybersecurity teams use cyber intelligence and the NIST Cybersecurity Risk Framework to best manage incoming threats. This webinar will follow a motivational presentation by country music performer Keni Thomas, a former U.S. Army Special Forces Sergeant, who served as a member of Task Force Ranger in the 1993 United Nations Operation Restore Hope in Somalia. Thomas and fellow Task Force members were involved in the famed "Battle of Mogadishu" which was immortalized in the 2001 film Black Hawk Down. Keni uses that experience to motivate and inspire leaders at every level.

WWT experts Brian Crouch, Enrique Martinez, and Matt Shivers discuss the trends we are seeing in security going into the rest of 2022. Tune in to get some great insight behind the scenes of our technology.

Now that organizations and employees have proven their capabilities to run and work remotely thanks to technology, our reliance on this technology and our willingness to test out new and emerging forms of it will continue to accelerate. But this relationship between humans and technology is not seamless. Companies need to protect themselves from troubleshooting, malware, and several other unknowns. With the return to office and hybrid work schedules a reality for most companies, there is a new list of threats to consider. And when making those considerations, it remains true that you can't protect and defend what you cannot see. On this Public Sector Tech Talk episode, we will establish a basis for what visibility should look like through the lens of cybersecurity and discuss how to mitigate IT risks, while keeping data protected and enhancing performance across any device or network.

Grab a quick dose of deep expertise with the WWT Expert series. In each episode, our host poses topical questions to a WWT Expert. Learn about the business solutions these experts have created, the technologies they've mastered and the trends they're seeing in the marketplace. All in 30 minutes or less. What is Security Service Edge (SSE)? Simply think of it as the unified security services slice of the SASE pizza. Gartner coined the SSE term to develop a path for organizations struggling to bridge the gap between their cloud-security design and WAN Service Edge design. SSE can be your organization's starting point before integrating your network and security into a unified experience with SASE. During this event, Matthew Coble will chat with SSE expert, Brianna Sideris. Brianna is passionate about helping organizations make technology decisions that simply make sense. She is a great resource for any SSE questions you may have!

More than ever, our customers critical applications are being targeted by destructive cyber and encryption attacks. Failure to recover could result in fines, revenue loss, or going out of business entirely. Traditional disaster recovery methods are simply not adequate to recover from these attacks. As such, a Cyber Recovery strategy is required. While there are many technology solutions in the marketplace to help address this problem, WWT's expert panelists will discuss a customer centric approach that provides an end to end Cyber Recovery offering. **This is a rebroadcast of a previously live event.
