Red Hat X Podcast Series

The cloud native promises of developer productivity and operational efficiency often hinge on modernizing the data architecture. Stateful workloads have traditionally and rightfully required more effort to manage, but contemporary tools and practices unlock the potential to have the right data in the right place at the right time without the clumsy burden of traditional enterprise data systems. 
Join Couchbase’s Matt Ingenthron and Red Hat’s Andrew Clay Shafer as they explore the principles of building systems to move fast and scale up while making data available and safe.. 

Security is best scaled when developers can take security into their own hands, empowered by tools that enable and encourage IT Operations and security teams to participate in, and gain visibility into, the vulnerability remediation process. As a result, Snyk has worked hard to develop tight interoperability with Red Hat products across the OpenShift developer experience, making it easier for developers to focus on building applications securely by leveraging developer-friendly outputs without having to adopt a new set of processes or tools. Please join Tomas Gonzalez, Partner Solutions Architect at Snyk, for this months Security Week! 

Come join Fernando Diaz, Technical Marketing Manager at Gitlab to learn how to shift security left on OpenShift with a variety of Different DevSecOps tools, which provide vulnerability scanning and enable collaboration between developers and AppSec. 

Annoyed by the lack of an scalable and survivable cloud database, the founders of Cockroach Labs were inspired by the Google team to build their own; and they named it after one of the most resourceful and resilient creatures on earth, the Cockroach. Join Jim Walker, VP of Product Marketing at Cockroach Labs, as he shares the origin story behind CockroachDB and Cockroach Cloud. 

As we race to implement zero trust architectures, identity and access management is becoming far more important than ever before. At the core of the zero trust model is moving authentication and authorization closer to the systems and data that need to be protected and modeling allowed access to control and limit usage. All this means users and systems will need to re-authenticate and re-authorize frequently and across the enterprise and against consistent identities and policies from IDAM systems. The goal is to limit lateral exploitation and escalation via differences to protection levels and policies, and have a central location to view and administer governance across these. To help bootstrap this journey, we will discuss some of the best practices for integrating and using user and system identities in zero trust systems.

Michael Epley, Chief Architect and Security Strategist, Public Sector at Red Hat

Data is king and plays a big role in an organization’s journey to become more data driven. Organizations need to derive insights from data faster than ever. With current IT environments, onboarding new data-rich projects can take weeks and collating/cleaning massive datasets can be resource intensive, impeding IT/data platform teams from quickly delivering data analytics. Therefore, organizations are adopting a more modern data platform that supports a hybrid cloud strategy, enabling them to bring the speed and agility of the cloud into their data centers while maintaining control over their data and costs. Our guest today is Wim Stoop, CDP Customer and Product Director at Cloudera.

Founded 2005 in Linz, Austria, Dynatrace now is the world market leader in software intelligence and listed at NYSE. Bernd Greifeneder, Founder & CTO, will share his motivation for founding Dynatrace and it’s core mission and vision. You’ll hear about the company’s 7-year reinvention cycle, and how to scale a startup culture to a 1000+
R&D team working on one single product. Most of all Bernd will talk about the importance of AI-powered intelligent observability for cloud automation, enabling organizations to innovate faster, collaborate more efficiently, and deliver more value with dramatically less effort.

One of the more popular Compliance Frameworks is the Center for Internet Security (CIS)
Benchmarks for Kubernetes. In this podcast, Rory McCune, Cloud Native Security Advocate at Aqua Security will discuss the CIS Benchmarks in depth, specifically how they are created and how people can contribute to them, how can companies Implement the CIS benchmarks to get the best out of them, and the limitations on the scope of the benchmarks and what can be done with them.

Software containers, microservice architectures, and adoption of DevSecOps methodologies have massively accelerated the software development lifecycle. As speed of development continues to increase, it becomes more and more important to embed security and compliance checks in every step of their software developer process in order to find potential problems earlier when it’s faster and cheaper to remediate them. 

Anchore Enterprise is a continuous security and compliance platform that not only finds software vulnerabilities but also evaluates every aspect of configuration and construction as the images are built, allowing for enforcement of a vast array of security policies. Anchore also helps organizations to more easily remediate issues well before the software is ever deployed into production (when changes become extremely expensive). Lastly, Anchore Enterprise provides automated policies that check your containers against leading standards and provide compliance reports and alerts to security teams.

Join Tufin's Ben Grissinger,  Cloud Security Architect, as he discusses the following on another episode of the Red Hat X Podcast. 

• How to maintain continuous compliance as they adopt Kubernetes on OpenShift
•  Why shift-left is not just a trend, it’s a serious requirement
• How maintaining agility shouldn’t jeopardize compliance
