Enterprise Security Uncovered

The identity and access management landscape has evolved rapidly in recent years with a multitude of standards, such as OpenID Connect, eclipsing the world of identity. As a result, there’s an urgent need to re-think identity management (IDM) solutions and ensure that they are able to seamlessly adapt to these changes. Given that acquisitions, mergers and directly on-boarding customers seem to be the trend today, concepts such as bring your own identity, just-in-time provisioning and dynamically discovered federation are real needs of project managers and architects.

WSO2 Identity Server 5.0 takes a rejuvenated approach to successfully eradicate complexities in various identity and access management standards. It abstracts the interactions between an application and an IDM from the perspective of a service provider and identity provider.

This session will discuss the following:

• Advantages of the new chained collaborative federation capability in WSO2 Identity Server 5.0
• How to configure and govern a set of identity providers, selectively associate them to a set of service providers and carry out federated authentication and provisioning
• Chain of control over what each entity in the system can do: propagated from a tenant administrator to an application developer to an end user

Your Path to IoT & Mobility with WSO2

Enterprises these days usually provide employees with devices (company owned personally enabled – COPE) or allow employees to use their own devices (bring your own device – BYOD). What many people don’t realize is that enterprise mobility goes beyond developing a few mobile apps, allowing access to emails through mobile devices and browsing web apps on mobile devices.

Every organization needs to have a clear strategy when allowing mobility in their enterprise. First and foremost, you need to create a policy around device usage in your organization. A well constructed policy helps in keeping your enterprise information safe and secure. This policy should include

• Which device platforms can be used (iOS, Android, etc.)
• Which versions can be used
• Whether rooted or jailbroken devices can be used
• Whether to allow BYOD or COPE (or both)
• Whether to allow access to company resources based on connectivity, location and time

Once the policy is created, you need to identify the tools that will help you enforce it. In this session Ruwan and Dilshan will share their expert advice on how to follow a winning path to achieve enterprise mobility.

API Management Strategies and Best Practices

API Management has now become an essential part of any SOA lifecycle. Learning how to expose your service as APIs and knowing how to secure, control and monitor access to them all has become part of an effective API management solution.

Iterative Architecture: Your Path to On-Time Delivery

Enterprises today operate in complex and competitive markets. They are constantly trying to optimize business functions, introduce new business capabilities and tap into new markets quickly and efficiently. For the business to be agile, software systems that are used to provide business capability need to be agile. The ability to build and integrate new capability in a short time becomes valuable. At the same time, enterprise software systems should help with evolutionary as well as revolutionary changes that will affect core business functions.

In this session we will discuss iterative architecture, which is about taking an iterative approach when introducing architectural changes to support business and technical requirements. We’ll also look at real world examples of implementing architectures in iterations.

New IT Business Models and Open Source Middleware Economic Value

In today’s enterprises, IT takes center stage in an organization’s business model. They consist of interrelated architectural, co-operational and financial arrangements designed and developed to achieve its strategic goals and objectives. The products and/or services the organization offers, or will offer, are based on the arrangements that are built on the IT infrastructure.

Open source software (OSS) is capable of bringing down average IT expenditure of companies. Cost reduction isn’t only about spending less on software licenses but also about increased efficiency in an organization’s IT setup. For example, the real value is higher, mainly because reused OSS code tends to be of higher quality when compared with equivalent proprietary.

In this session, we will discuss the economic value of open source middleware for achieving the objectives set forth by the new IT business models.

Business Processes in Modern Enterprise Integration

Organizations today are becoming more distributed. They now have many business units and partners operating in a fast paced environment. In order for these units to achieve their common business goals and continue to increase business efficiency, necessary procedures must be enforced across the entire organization. This problem can be solved by integrating almost everything within the organization by using business processes.

This session will focus on how business processes allow integration within modern enterprises, and interface humans with systems as required. We will also look at how this can provide a comprehensive view of the organization, which can then be used to identify and resolve problems quickly. Finally, we will examine the technology and capabilities that the WSO2 Business Processor supports to cater to modern enterprise integration needs.

Building Awesome Personal Dashboards with WSO2 Dashboard Server

Data is meaningless without proper representation. It is most useful when understood through interaction. WSO2 Dashboard Server 2.0 brings the ability to design interactive dashboards that can give you insights into data through drill-down views.

Dashboards can be shared among and customized by users to match their preferences. WSO2 Dashboard Server 2.0 allows each visualization gadget to be wired in the UI. Each gadget is limited to interacting with a well defined set of input and output data types. This makes it possible for gadgets, even in an interactive dashboard, to be loosely coupled. In this session we will demonstrate a sample dashboard with multiple interactive elements.

Automate and Orchestrate DevOps

DevOps has enabled organizations to extend traditional development to continous IT service delivery. The advantages of adopting devops include establishing trust and collaboration between development and IT operations and ensuring that software releases are repeatable and automated. When adopting devops, automation and orchestration are quite important.

Case Study: Identity in the WSO2 Ecosystem

The WSO2 ecosystem consists of several types of identities with different characteristics. Among them are customer identities, open-source community identities and the employee identities. The objective of this project was to design and implement a secure, state of the art identity and access management (IAM) system using WSO2 technology.

There are many systems in WSO2 that require authentication, authorization and provisioning. Users have to maintain many complex passwords; administrators have to manage a large number of authorizations and provisioning. Another problem with current architecture is that it is tightly bound to email addresses. If the user changes the email address, his identity will be lost.

This session will discuss how we built a state of the art identity and access management program that addresses the above problems using WSO2 Identity Server.

Event Driven Architecture: Managing Business Dynamics for Adaptive Enterprise

Service oriented architecture (SOA) provides a platform for IT environments that are more agile by enabling IT professionals to design flexible system that can adapt rapidly to meet the changing business needs of an enterprise. SOA implements a synchronous request-response model to connect remote processes in distributed system. It creates an inherent rigidity and additional dependencies when applied in modelling business processes and workflows.

In contrast, event driven architecture (EDA) is based on an asynchronous message-driven communication model to propagate information throughout an enterprise. By describing business activities as a series of events it doesn’t bind functionally disparate systems and teams into the same management model. This allows it to support a more natural alignment with an enterprise’s operational model and processes/workflows.

This session starts by analyzing key businesses challenges that encourage the use of EDA. Then we will deep dive into the fundamental concepts of EDA. Finally, we will discuss a pragmatic approach of designing and implementing an EDA using the WSO2 integration framework.

Moulding Your Enterprise with Resource Oriented Architecture

An enterprise environment is typically heterogeneous, often spanning across organizational boundaries. Building such systems require tools that promote intrinsic interoperability and provide ease of integrating over boundaries. It also needs to use technology that promotes simplicity and is easy to handle. Resource oriented architecture (ROA) supports this by focusing on entities and interactions for effective enterprise integration.

This session will first give an overview of resource oriented computing and the advent of ROA. It will then focus on what it means to have a ROA in your organization – both externally and internally. It will finally discuss how WSO2 technology can help you built your enterprise system in a resource oriented manner.

Patterns for Deploying Analytics in the Real World

Abundant data is all around. The most important aspect is how you as an organization can access the data, process it, and present information to the relevant authorities on time.

In this talk, we will discuss how you can leverage WSO2 Data Analytics Server, WSO2 IoT Server, WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus and other WSO2 products in order to analyze the data. We will also discuss different deployment patterns that can provide you with a suitable solution that lets you analyze relevant data historically, in real-time or interactively and predict future states to make better decisions for your organization’s success.

Keynote: At the Heart of Services – Loose Coupling and Its Architectural Benefits

The talk will start by reminding the definition of loose coupling and its paradigmatic realization in messaging. Next, it will be shown how loose coupling is realized by traditional Web Service technology as well as by REST Service technology. As examples, scalability, high availability, and stability will be presented as easy to achieve based on being loosely coupled. Finally, the talk will argue that micro-services as well as native-cloud services imply loose coupling.

WSO2 Process Center: Processes as Friends, Not Enemies

Business processes simply define how an organization operates, from hiring new staff to planning product launches. Properly documenting and systematically executing these processes is critical for achieving business goals. However, due to the effort required to maintain details about all relevant processes and the complexity of process automation, organizations tend not to pursue complete business process management (BPM) initiatives.

In this talk, we will discuss how WSO2 Process Center helps overcome barriers in BPM by allowing simpler ways of maintaining, sharing, analyzing and optimizing your business processes.

Automate and Orchestrate DevOps

DevOps has enabled organizations to extend traditional development to continous IT service delivery. The advantages of adopting DevOps include establishing trust and collaboration between development and IT operations and ensuring that software releases are repeatable and automated. When adopting devops, automation and orchestration are quite important.

During this session, Chamith will discuss the advantages, technologies and best practices of automation and orchestration. He will also talk about the importance of establishing common standards and protocols across the organization to ensure governance and reduce lifecycle costs.

Breaking Down Silos with Service Oriented Architecture

Individual, disparate systems used to be a common occurrence in the traditional IT landscape where systems were designed to work in isolation. These systems depended on proprietary standards and protocols making integration with external systems time consuming, expensive and less scalable.

The notion of system silos was soon replaced by systems driven by services. This gave birth to an architectural pattern known as service oriented architecture (SOA). SOA was designed to use standard protocols and specifications at integration points which allowed systems to communicate with each other in a much more flexible manner.

In this session we will look at the drawbacks of having siloed architecture and how they can be avoided by moving to SOA. We will also look at how SOA can bring more agility to an organization and make way for new business opportunities. We will also talk about how SOA can be broken down further to a finer grained microservices architecture and how your organization can benefit from this using the WSO2 suite of products.

An Introduction to the WSO2 Analytics Platform

In today’s connected world organizations have access to an enormous amount of data.

Big Data & Analytics: Moving Beyond Hype to Insight

When an enterprise gets connected, the success of the business relies on how quickly and effectively they can identify game-changing events from the avalanche of events that are produced by the eco system. Enterprise systems, such as enterprise resources planning, system monitoring, stock transaction systems, and financial transaction systems, generate an enormous amount of events that can contain useful data; processing this data efficiently in real time can provide a competitive edge.

It is not hard to “analytics” wash your organization, and use analytics in a few places. However, it is not easy to use analytics to generate actionable insights, make a difference, and achieve competitive advantage. There are many pitfalls, and you need to have a fundamental understanding about your goals. A common mistake is starting too big, and trying to design the end system before understanding the problem.

In this session, Srinath will discuss some key fundamentals of moving beyond hype to gaining insightful information by effectively analyzing an enterprise’s data with the use of technology.

Understanding Microservice Architecture

Today many organizations are leveraging microservice architecture (MSA), which is becoming increasingly popular because of its many potential advantages. MSA itself is divided into two areas – inner and outer architectures – which require separate attention. Moreover, MSA requires a certain level of developer and devops experience too. This talk will be an awareness session about MSA and will also discuss WSO2’s strategic initiatives in both the platform level and WSO2 MSF4J framework level.

Deployment Patterns and Capacity Planning

Identifying the right deployment architecture is key when providing smooth operation of a production system. Deployment architecture is important for providing non-functional requirements such as availability, scalability and security for an enterprise software solution. In addition, a deployment architecture is key when supporting future business and technical requirements. Deployment patterns are a way to quickly determine best practices from production deployments identified from different industry verticals.

After identifying the correct deployment architecture, it’s crucial to determine the size of the deployment by understanding the number of servers/VMs/containers necessary to support the minimum, average and possible maximum load that the system is expected to handle. This session will focus on how you could take a fact based approach to determine the size of your deployment.

Pattern-Driven Enterprise Architecture: Applying Patterns in Your Architecture

Buckminster Fuller once said “When I’m working on a problem, I never think about beauty. But when I’ve finished, if the solution is not beautiful I know it’s wrong.” Architectural patterns help you build beautiful enterprise architecture. High-level patterns such as SOA, ROA, EDA, MSA and WOA provide many best practices for enterprise architects who are looking to evolve their existing enterprise architecture or for those creating newer enterprise architecture strategies.

During this session, Mifan will critically analyze the good, the bad and the ugly (if any) of the various architectural patterns. He will look at practical examples of the patterns in practice, with real life case studies of deployments that use them. He will then go on to build a solution architecture from scratch using WSO2 components with the help of patterns.

IoT Analytics

Today ‘big data’ efforts have solved many IoT analytics challenges, particularly system challenges related to large-scale data management, learning, and data visualizations. Data for ‘big data,’ however, came mostly from computer-based systems, such as transaction logs, system logs, social networks, and mobile phones. On the other hand, IoT data which is derived from the natural world, would be more detailed, fuzzy, and large. The nature of this data, assumptions, and use cases differ between old big data and new IoT data. IoT analytics designers can build on top of big data, yet the work would be far from being done. This session will explain these challenges and discuss how big data analytics is used to architect IoT solutions.
