OPEN SESSION (CloudX): The Critical Role of Observability in Cloud Native Applications: Ensuring Reliability and Minimizing Downtime
Thursday November 7, 2024 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST
CloudX -- Main Stage
Greg Leffler, Splunk, Director of Developer Evangelism - Observability

As organizations have moved to the cloud and increased their pace of innovation to ship software more often, it becomes harder to validate the impact of changes – both to their business and to their customers’ experience. That’s where Observability comes into play. Observability has emerged as a critical aspect of cloud native applications due to its ability to provide comprehensive insights into the complex and dynamic environments these applications operate within. By enabling real-time monitoring, tracing, and logging, observability allows users to proactively identify and resolve performance issues, improve reliability and build better digital experiences. This is crucial in helping organizations lower the cost of unplanned downtime and be more resilient.

Downtime not only results in direct financial losses, often quantified in thousands of dollars per minute for large enterprises, but also incurs indirect costs such as reduced customer satisfaction, loss of trust, and potential long-term reputational damage. To illustrate these benefits, we will demonstrate a troubleshooting scenario in a microservice environment using an advanced observability tool, showcasing how timely insights can present and resolve issues efficiently. As a result, investing in robust observability tools and practices is essential for maintaining the reliability and efficiency of cloud native applications, ultimately supporting business continuity and growth.

OPEN SESSION (API): A World of AI Is a World of APIs; Securing the Most Modern of Modern Apps
Thursday November 7, 2024 1:00pm - 1:50pm PST
API World -- OPEN Workshop Stage
Cameron Delano, F5, Sr Strategic Architect 
Corey Ball, Moss Adams, Senior Manager - Penetration Testing

F5 secures and optimizes traffic for some of the largest AI projects in the world, and organizations are planning to spend an average of 18% of 2025 IT budgets on AI implementation.
What many are missing is that outside of a few edge cases, nearly all training, usage, attacks, and data loss against AI models come through APIs, and APIs themselves expose critical information about models such as data labels and confidence scores, facilitating model theft, transfer attacks, and other issues unique to securing LLMs.
In this session, we’ll talk about the ties between AI security, APIs, and how to structure a Defense in Depth architecture to secure your AI factory and models from the beginning, rather than after the fact.
