M+E Connections

Equinix discusses the benefits of sustainable employers, Perforce offers simple steps for critical software development projects this year, and Fortinet argues that consolidating vendors can enhance your security posture.

Those are just a few of the events from the MESA community the week of Jan. 30-Feb. 3, according to MESA’s global member e-calendar.

Here’s a look at what’s ahead:

Monday:

• Equinix presents “Why Must You Choose a Sustainable Employer – And How!” In today’s world, humans operating within ecological borders is the new norm. This becomes even more crucial in the context of companies. Sustainable companies and goals have a significant impact not just on our clients and investors but are a powerful draw for job seekers. With enhanced social responsibility, a company’s commitment to sustainability implies greater care for their employees and a sense of fulfilment. Sustainable businesses are known to offer healthier work environments leading to greater job satisfaction and higher organisational morale, ultimately steering employees to stay loyal to these organisations and their jobs.

Tuesday:

• As part of its Online Tech Talks series, AWS hosts “Analytics Workshop: Enabling Agility with Data Governance on AWS.” Discover how AWS is delivering comprehensive data governance solutions. During this session, explore the process of managing data from start to finish, ensuring its accuracy and completeness, and making it accessible to those who need it. Learn how AWS is delivering data governance from data preparation and integration, to data access, data quality and metadata management across our analytics services. See how you can build a solution for these common challenges and learn how to start applying these capabilities today.

• Fortinet hosts “How to Enhance Your Security Posture by Consolidating Vendors.” More than half of organisations (52 percent) believe security operations are more difficult today than in years past. And with good reason: The evolving threat landscape and the volume and complexity of security alerts all contribute to this growing challenge. That’s why many organisations are embracing vendor consolidation. This webinar will offer practical recommendations on how to apply artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies to a consolidated tech stack to effectively address the accelerating threat landscape; integrate and automate security across multiple products, securing the expanded digital attack surface; and augment in-house staff with specialised outsourced services.

• Palo Alto Networks offers “Zero-Day Malware? Zero Worries.” Join Palo Alto Networks security experts for the virtual event to learn how you can stay one step ahead of zero-day threats with Nova, which offers security against zero-day threats. New Advanced WildFire stops 26% more zero-day malware than traditional sandboxes, and innovations in our industry-leading Advanced Threat Prevention prevents 60% more unknown injection attacks that traditional IPS solutions miss; simplified and consistent security. Integrate proxy on NGFW, secure all traffic with one platform, and secure all apps and data with the industry’s most complete CASB solution; and more.

• Perforce hosts “Simple Steps for Critical Software Development Projects in 2023.” An essential part of critical software development projects is ensuring that the software is compliant with all the necessary coding guidelines and other functional standards. However, that process can be challenging and time-consuming. As you start lining up your project plans for the new year, how do you know you are compliance-ready? With the right tools and best practices, you can ensure, enforce, and verify compliance at every stage of development. Join director of compliance Jill Britton as she explains how to get started with software compliance.

Wednesday:

• “E-signature Basics with Adobe Acrobat Sign” explains the value of transforming your document processes and demonstrate how to manage smooth e-signature workflows as both a sender and a signer. Attendees will learn the difference between a digital signature and e-signature; scanning, editing, and sending documents for e-signature; using authentication methods for enhanced security and compliance; enabling signers to review and sign on any device; and managing and tracking e-signature workflows along the way.
