F5 Hickam AFB TechTalk

Join F5 Networks and Carahsoft on March 11^th for a hands-on DoD Use Case Tech Session at Hickam AFB. In this workshop, you will gain practical knowledge on real time DoD use cases like Advanced Web Application Firewall, BIG-IQ and Automation and Orchestration and more Application Delivery solutions.

Advanced Web Application Firewall (Advanced WAF)
We will discuss the latest F5 Labs threat research which indicate Web application attacks are the #1 source of data breaches. Web Application Firewall (WAF) provides critical security controls to protect web apps. However, not all WAF solutions are the same. While many can help an organization protect their apps from common and known threats, most are inadequate against the myriad of attacks across the evolving risk landscape. F5 announced Advanced WAF, a new category of app protection that introduces unique capabilities to the WAF market:

The external threat surface of an application and where vulnerabilities exist
Today's major threats to your applications and data
How to scope your app-centric security program with critical protection strategies
Managing complex security systems through F5 BIG-IQ Manager

11:00am - 12:00pm
F5's Automation Orchestration Toolchain
When NetOps and SecOps teams do not (or are unable to) participate in automated application delivery processes, applications can be released without adequate security or traffic management controls. The result? Poor user experiences and increased business risk as well as significant challenges with post-release management and operability. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Rapid provisioning of scalable services through declarative APIs or service catalogs gives the SecOps and NetOps teams the tools they need to protect the application and maintain compliance without adding friction to the software delivery lifecycle. Changing manual processes into automated ones helps NetOps and SecOps teams manage thousands of instances and apps at scale.

But how do you get started with automation? During this tech session, we'll show how the F5 Automation Toolchain makes it faster and easier to deploy and configure F5 application services via declarative interfaces and introduce you to training to help you expand your skills.

What you'll learn:

How the F5 Automation Toolchain can help you automate configuration & deployment easily
How to use the components of the Automation Toolchain to efficiently provision, configure, and manage the services that support your apps
How to empower DevOps with declarative technology, orchestration integration, cloud templates and more
