SERVICE PROVIDER AUTOMATION AND SECURITY BEST PRACTICES

A workshop for telecommunications service providers

December 4, 2019Scarborough, OntarioTELUS

Overview


IS YOUR CUSTOMER'S INFORMATION AT RISK? 
A recent survey1 revealed that less than half of investigated, legitimate alerts are remediated by surveyed security teams. And in 2018, 30% of service providers reported sensitive customer information was stolen due to an attack.  In this hands-on, instructor-led workshop, you’ll learn how to maintain a secure, compliant infrastructure environment at scale. Specifically, you’ll use a combination of Red Hat’s management and automation products and OpenSCAP to:
  • Perform automated scans against regulatory or custom profiles and against configuration policies to quickly detect and automatically remediate security and compliance issues in a controlled way.
  • Implement infrastructure, security, and compliance as code.
  • Implement consistent and automated patching, configuration management, and security hardening at scale.
  • Proactively identify and remediate security threats at scale with predictive analytics.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
  • Systems administrators
  • Cloud administrators
  • Operators
  • Architects
  • IT staff
  • Network staff
  • Security operations staff
  • Others working on infrastructure operations management.
REQUIREMENTS
Attendees must: 
  • Bring a laptop with the ability to SSH to a lab environment hosted in a public cloud.
  • Be able to accept SSL certificate warnings, as web interfaces will be accessed over HTTPS
Attendees should:
  • Have a working knowledge of using SSH and command line shell (BASH)
  • Have a conceptual understanding of basic linux system administration, DevOps, and virtualization.
