DEVWKS-2025: Meraki MX Security: Simplified with Programmability Tuesday, Dec 5 at 9:30 AM – 10:15 AM AEDT
Presented by Brian Sak, Technical Solutions Architect, Cisco Systems, Inc, 
Learn how to modify and apply security policies programmatically and query security incidents from firewall appliances. For both NetOps and SecOps engineers.

DEVWKS-2075: Automate Meraki Alerting & Response with Webhooks and AWS LambdaTuesday, Dec 5 at 9:30 AM – 10:15 AM AEDT
Presented by Ryan Maclennan, Technical Marketing Engineer, Cisco Systems, Inc.

DEVWKS-2193: APIs are the new SNMPTuesday, Dec 5 at 11:30 AM – 12:15 PM AEDT
Presented by Michael Lipsey, Systems Architect, Cisco Systems, Inc.
Look at some real-world use cases to see how you can leverage APIs and programmability to monitor and alert about conditions in your operation. What if SNMP could monitor your Internet facing VPN presence from each of the ISPs your remote users are coming from and then inform your help desk that one of those ISPs can’t reach your VPN? SNMP can’t do that. But Thousand Eyes can, and its APIs can alert on it!
