On-Demand Webinar: Extending Your Fortigate Next-Gen Firewall to Kubernetes

Companies are leveraging the power of Kubernetes to accelerate the delivery of resilient and scalable applications to meet the pace of business. These applications are highly dynamic, making it operationally challenging to securely connect to databases or other resources protected behind firewalls. Tigera and Fortinet have joined forces to solve this operational challenge. With the combination of FortiGate Next-Gen firewalls and Calico Enterprise, you gain full visibility into the container environment and can define fine-grained policies to determine which Kubernetes workloads are allowed to talk to the enterprise’s crown jewels running outside the Kubernetes cluster.

Early Ransomware Detection and Response

The inability to access critical digital assets can be catastrophic to your operations. Ransomware is therefore one the scariest, but also most common online assaults. Join this webinar and learn how Flowmon, a leading network detection and response tool, helps to cover visibility gaps, detect ransomware and respond even prior to locking down digital assets. We will go through Flowmon's features via live demo and show you how to trace attackers’ footprints across the system.

Data Security and Privacy Techniques for Everyone

Everyone on the internet should follow good data security and privacy practices. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. IT pros aren’t the only people who need to protect their data. If you’re online in any capacity, there are some basic techniques you should use. I’m not talking about things like encryption and data masking; if I tried to tell my mother about those, she would stare blankly at me.

Integrate your IDS + monitoring with the Sensu Tripwire asset

Tripwire, created by our friend Gene Kim, is a popular intrusion detection system (IDS) with both commercial and open source offerings. As a fun side project, I put together a Tripwire asset for Sensu. While this is more a prototype than anything else, I wanted to take this opportunity to offer some background on IDS, Tripwire, and integrating intrusion detection into your monitoring workflow, with the overall aim of illustrating how easy it is to deploy solutions with Sensu.
