Open Core vs Proprietary SaaS (which to bet your startup's life on?)

Gravitational COO, Taylor Wakefield, presents at the 2019 Open Core Summit, comparing Commercial Open Source Software ("COSS" aka, Open Core Software) to Proprietary SaaS. This presentation discusses why SaaS emerged, why COSS is now emerging and looks at the S-1 data of recently IPO'd companies in each cohort to validate the assumed benefits of each model.

The Importance Of Cloud-based Security For Businesses

Cloud computing is the transmission of information technology services through the internet. Cloud computing is classified as public, private, or hybrid. These services are now popular with many businesses and governments, hence the need for security measures to ensure data safety and applications in the cloud. Cloud-based security involves the technology and series of procedures implemented to protect cloud computing environments from cybersecurity threats. This form of protection is necessary for small businesses, medium-sized corporations, and large organizations. Here are some of the crucial benefits of cloud-based security.

Why Blockchain Needs Kubernetes

In under five years time, Kubernetes has become the default method for deploying and managing cloud applications, a remarkably fast adoption rate for any enterprise technology. Amongst other things, Kubernetes’s power lies in its ability to map compute resources to the needs of services in the current infrastructure paradigm. But how does this tool work when faced with the new infrastructure layer that is blockchain? Can the two technologies be used in conjunction?

Gravitational Teleport: Zero Trust Access that does not get in the way.

Gravitational Teleport is an open-source alternative to OpenSSH. This video is a brief overview of how Teleport provides secure access to cloud infrastructure via SSH, Kubernetes and Web Apps without getting in the way of existing developer workflows.

Machine Learning APIs for Web Developers

Machine learning (ML) used to be a tool limited to specialized developers and dedicated teams. Now, thanks to many web service providers and approachable tooling, your applications can use pre-build learning models and machine learning techniques the same way you would use any web service API. This is a quick way to test out and benefit from machine learning without having to invest in artificial intelligence, building your own learning models, or shaping your application around ML.

Sumo Logic and NIST team up to secure energy sector IoT

The energy industry used to operate on a simple hub-and-spoke model, in which large power plants would produce energy in a centralized location and distribute it out to consumers. Yet as solar, wind, and other small-scale renewable energy sources take hold in the market, that hub-and-spoke model is being replaced by a complex grid of interconnected devices.

How to Implement Network Policy in Google GKE to Secure Your Cluster

By default, pods are non-isolated; they accept traffic from any source. The Google GKE solution to this security concern is Network Security Policy that lets developers control network access to their services. Google GKE comes configured with Network Security Policy using Project Calico which can be used to secure your clusters. This class will describe a few use cases for network security policy and a live demo implementing each use case.

Remote workers making mobile management and security first priority

In recent years, many businesses had already begun planning for a gradual shift towards an increasingly remote workforce, yet fewer had implemented a mobile-first strategy, and some were still formulating strategies. At a gradual pace, IT administrators could handle a small percentage of remote workers and saw the management features of device enrollment programs and network security measures as enough to manage a few remote devices and cyber risks.
