Techstrong Con 2023

Digital business transformation plays a critical role in enabling organizations to evolve and adapt to rapidly changing economic conditions. However, it’s apparent many organizations are struggling to achieve their goals. Clearly, there is a major gap between the big innovative idea and actual execution. The challenge we face now is finding a way to bridge that divide so we can deliver on the promise of digital transformation!

Fundamentally, digital transformation requires a level of resilience that enables organizations to improve their ability to compete by increasing customer satisfaction.

At Techstrong Con 2023, we’ll share how to build digital resilience into every aspect of your infrastructure to improve application experiences in ways that enable organizations to fully reap the benefits of digital transformation.

Discover what the finance, health care, retail and IT industries have learned about digital transformation and how they have reshaped their culture, embraced agility and redefined their business model to achieve a successful transformation.

The tracks will focus on digital transformation for the leadership suite, digital transformation for developers, SREs and platform engineers and secure digital transformation.Don’t get left behind! Join us as we deconstruct digital transformation and explore:

• How digital transformation has changed the way we do business
• How to leverage the cloud, IoT, AI, ML and other technologies to ramp up your digital transformation
• Digital resilience as a digital transformation KPI
• Security’s role in digital transformation
• How to balance speed, security and innovation

Snyk Stress Free AWS Security for Devs and Ops

Are you stressing out about security when building apps on AWS? Are you concerned that your security tooling isn't giving you the greatest bang for your buck?

Join Snyk for a half-day virtual event where we'll deep dive into how developer-centric security solutions can reduce stress for developers, ops teams and security practitioners alike. We'll cover the top vulnerabilities from the past year (including how to fix them), walk you through mitigation and remediation techniques using hands-on workshops built with industry-leading technology vendors on AWS, and discuss the value of adopting developer security tooling to shift security left and make it continuous.

You will walk away from this summit with the firsthand experience you'll need to drastically reduce mean-time-to-fix security issues across your cloud environment, as well as in each of the components of your application workloads.

Cloud Container Sec Summit

As adoption of cloud-native and serverless technologies continues to grow, the security of these environments is increasingly a major topic of conversation within IT organizations. But securing cloud-native environments requires a different approach than legacy monolithic applications, one that addresses challenges including compliance, visibility and impact on development time.

Join us as we cut through the complexity of securing cloud-native applications and environments, from application development (DevSecOps) through deployment and ongoing management of cloud-native environments.

AppSec/API Security

Application security is under the microscope as data breaches brought on by insecure apps increasingly dominate the headlines. And API security is drawing more attention as a potential threat vector, as application and infrastructure environments grow in scale and complexity. The need to understand and defend against threats to applications and APIs is crucial.

Join us as we explore in-depth the rapidly evolving application and API landscape and offer concrete ways organizations can protect against threats to their application code, APIs and related components.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution: Digital Transformation in the Cloud

Explore the Intelligent and Efficient DevSecOps, SRE and Observability with use of Value Stream Management and technologies like AI/ML, Blockchain and DataOps.

Cloud native is rapidly becoming the dominant architecture for cloud applications. Cloud native utilizes exciting new technologies like microservices, service mesh, serverless, containers and orchestration. Cloud native brings new opportunities and challenges for security, observability, platform engineering and reliability engineering.

Even through the pandemic securing applications, shifting left and DevSecOps have continued to gain acceptance and continue to mature. The notion of security tools designed for developers and DevOps teams, doesn’t sound quite as unusual as before. In spite of this, supply chain attacks in our CI/CD pipelines once again showed us that we must be ever vigilant and there is more to do.

DevOps Connect: DevSecOps has been part of RSAC for over 6 years. Each year, we put together internationally recognized speakers to bring you the best in peer-to-peer knowledge exchange.

We’ll lead a live panel on what we learned from the Log4Shell vulnerability and how to apply fixes for it. We’ll also discuss future strategies for maintaining security throughout your software supply chain. Join experts from Snyk as they discuss verifying the security of Open Source packages and managing other supply chain risks.

What will the coming year deliver in technology and beyond? Predict 2022 will discuss the trends, technologies and looming topics that could have the most impact on technology.

TechStrong Con continues to serve as a testament to the ways in which technology can improve human existence. Digital transformation, DevOps, cloud-native and cybersecurity all have played major roles in enabling organizations to move beyond survival mode and offer transformative and experiential services and environments that are shaping the new normal. We also explored the future of hybrid, from workplaces to infrastructures.

Digital transformation has fundamentally changed the monitoring landscape. From workloads running in private, public and hybrid clouds, to adopting a DevOps culture with daily code pushes and developers on call, your job has become more complex. While these changes improve organizational agility, keeping an eye on things is more challenging. Observability provides the insights to find and solve the “unknown” unknowns. 

Did you know open source is moving faster than ever with new observability projects? Is Kubernetes here to stay? We took a deep dive into these topics and more at Open Source: The Evolution with Logz.io. Jonah Kowall, CTO of Logz.io, gave his take on OpenTelemetry and what the future holds for open source. For the main event, Jonah sat down with Alan Shimel, CEO and Founder of MediaOps, to enjoy a nice fireside chat on all things open source.

As the speed of development continues to accelerate, the implications for code security have become even greater as our world relies on digital services to work and live.

This free, virtual two-day conference is where we bring together Modern Dev Teams, Application Security Gurus, and the developers who are ready to become security heroes.
