Most network teams leverage some sort of domain-specific automation, whether through open-source tools or controller-based software to implement network changes more efficiently. While automating individual tasks may suffice in certain cases, scaling infrastructure as a product for broader consumption requires standardized processes. Orchestration unifies tools, services, and automations across your ecosystem, streamlining each step for greater efficiency and enabling the flexibility to combine automations into new, composable products.

In this session, Rich Martin, Director of Technical Marketing will demonstrate how to connect different automations and systems to orchestrate the provisioning of a new product. You’ll see how Itential integrates with everything from change management tools to documentation processes, so every automation step — from pre-checks to notifications — happens smoothly and consistently.

You’ve built a library of useful automations to automate tedious, time-consuming tasks. But as your efforts scale, so do your headaches. You’ve got different scripts for different tasks, written in different languages, with varying levels of access. And when your network starts to grow (along with the complexity of what you need to automate), things start to get messy. Fast.

In this session, Wyatt Sullivan, Technical Marketing Engineer, will showcase Itential’s new Automation-as-a-Service offering and how NetDevOps engineers can standardize automation execution across Ansible Playbooks, Python Scripts and OpenTofu plans and how to enable secure authorization and role-based access control, turning automations into self-service products that teams can access and execute independently.

Network automation is going through an evolution right now. Most network engineers have built awesome scripts or playbooks that solve some problems but you’re nowhere near deploying like AWS. For most, automation likely saves you some time and reduces human error but isn’t the sort of thing you can package up into a product and enable the rest of the organization to consume, let alone be delivered as a self-serve product for app dev teams to utilize.

In this session, Peter Sprygada, VP of Product Management will dive into making sense of the evolution of network automation and how network teams can become producers and evolve from building network automations to offering infrastructure products with Itential.

Personnel: Dana Yanch, Piotr Kupisiewicz

This Elisity presentation at Network Field Day 36 focuses on how Elisity’s microsegmentation architecture leverages a cloud-native distributed control plane that separates policy management from enforcement. At its core, the system utilizes a centralized policy management platform that integrates with existing identity providers and maintains the Elisity IdentityGraph—a comprehensive mapping of all network assets, their relationships, and behavior patterns. This identity-centric approach moves beyond traditional IP-based controls to enable context-aware policy enforcement at the network edge.

The implementation relies on Elisity Virtual Edge controller(s) that transform existing access-layer switches into policy enforcement points. These controllers communicate with the Elisity Cloud Control center via secure channels, enabling real-time policy updates without requiring dedicated hardware. For manufacturing environments, this architecture enables granular control over industrial control systems and OT devices while maintaining IEC 62443 compliance. In healthcare settings, it facilitates 405(d) HICP compliance while protecting sensitive medical devices and clinical systems.

Key technical components include the Elisity identity-based Dynamic Policy Engine that leverages machine learning for asset discovery and classification, graphical policy visualization matrices for traffic flow analysis, and virtual edge nodes that enforce policies using native switch functionality. The system continuously monitors east-west and north-south traffic patterns, providing real-time telemetry data for behavior analysis and policy refinement.

This architecture enables security teams to implement zero trust principles at scale, with the ability to microsegment networks down to individual workloads while maintaining the performance requirements of critical manufacturing and healthcare operations. The platform’s ability to learn from traffic patterns and automatically adjust policies based on identity and context makes it particularly effective in environments where traditional agent-based solutions are impractical.

Personnel: Dana Yanch, Piotr Kupisiewicz

This Elisity presentation at Network Field Day 36 focuses on how the convergence of IT and OT networks has created unique cybersecurity challenges across manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors, where legacy systems, unmanaged devices, and critical operations intersect. This technical talk explores how microsegmentation addresses the distinct security requirements of these regulated industries.

In manufacturing environments, the primary challenge lies in securing industrial control systems that often run on legacy operating systems and utilize proprietary protocols. Organizations must maintain IEC 62443 compliance while enabling secure communication between production zones, enterprise IT systems, and remote access points. Critical goals include protecting intellectual property in manufacturing execution systems (MES) while ensuring zero operational downtime.

Pharmaceutical companies face the additional complexity of FDA-regulated environments where Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) systems require both rigorous access controls and detailed audit trails. These organizations need microsegmentation solutions that can isolate quality control systems, laboratory information management systems (LIMS), and research data while maintaining strict regulatory compliance. Healthcare institutions struggle with an explosion of IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) devices that can’t support traditional security agents.

Meeting 405(d) HICP guidelines requires organizations to implement microsegmentation without disrupting critical care devices or patient monitoring systems. The challenge intensifies with the need to segment clinical networks from billing systems while maintaining HIPAA compliance.

Learn how modern microsegmentation architectures and platforms like Elisity address these challenges. You’ll see how Elisity’s Identity-based microsegmentation platform enables policy enforcement at the network edge, leveraging existing switch infrastructure for policy enforcement.

Learn why success requires continuous asset discovery, automated policy recommendations based on learned traffic patterns, and the ability to enforce segmentation policies without requiring hardware refresh or network redesign.

Own Your Career – Career Management for the Modern Technologist with Jack Poller

Event: Cloud Field Day 21

Appearance: Ignite Talks at Cloud Field Day 21

Company: Ignite

Video Links:

Personnel: Jack Poller

Jack Poller’s talk at Cloud Field Day 21 focuses on the importance of actively managing one’s career, particularly in the technology field. He shares his own career journey, which spans from engineering to marketing, consulting, and eventually becoming an industry analyst. Poller emphasizes that career success is not just about technical skills but also about understanding how to make a company more successful, either by increasing revenue or reducing costs. He highlights the importance of being adaptable and willing to take on new roles, as he did when he transitioned from engineering to marketing. Poller also stresses that in any role, the ultimate goal should be to contribute to the company’s success, and this requires understanding the business’s needs and how your work impacts the bottom line.

Poller also discusses the importance of influence and politics in the workplace, especially as one moves up the career ladder. He acknowledges that many technologists view office politics negatively, but he argues that it is a necessary part of getting things done, particularly in leadership roles. He uses examples from his own career, such as managing a crisis after a theft at a startup, to illustrate how sometimes difficult decisions must be made quickly, even if they are not popular. Poller also references the TV show *The Wire* as a great example of how politics, both formal and informal, play out in different organizations, from drug cartels to police departments. He encourages technologists to embrace the reality of workplace politics and learn how to build coalitions and influence others to achieve their goals.

Finally, Poller emphasizes the importance of networking and personal relationships in career advancement. He points out that while technology has made it easier to apply for jobs, it has also created barriers, such as AI-driven applicant tracking systems that may filter out qualified candidates. Therefore, building a strong professional network is crucial, as most job opportunities come through personal connections rather than resumes. Poller advises technologists to be proactive in seeking out mentors and building trust with colleagues, as trust is a key factor in career success. He concludes by encouraging the audience to take ownership of their careers, set clear goals, and continuously work toward them, rather than passively waiting for promotions or opportunities to come their way.
