AFCEA Cybersecurity through Continuous Monitoring: SolarWinds Survey Results ...SolarWinds
WINNER: Overall Best In Show at 2014 AFCEA® Cyber Conference Solutions Trail
In a 2014 survey by SolarWinds and Market Connections, federal government and military IT professionals stated that their biggest cybersecurity threats are people both malicious external attackers and clueless insiders. So how do Federal IT Pros prevent activity that can put their agencies security at risk and address these living cybersecurity threats when human behavior is out of their
control? Implementing continuous monitoring solutions can help federal agencies safeguard against human error and quickly identify vulnerabilities, compliance issues and other threats by automatically collecting data and reporting on the performance, availability and security posture of an IT infrastructure. While continuous monitoring of the performance of networks, applications, servers, and
more will not stop hackers from attempting to infiltrate a network or stop careless employees from accidental blunders, it can provide a first line of defense and critical insight into how the IT infrastructure is impacted. In this session you will learn: " The top cybersecurity threats plaguing agencies today and their sources " The types of continuous monitoring tools and technologies that can be leveraged by both IT operations and information security simultaneously to quickly detect and mitigate threats " How to overcome common obstacles and frustrations agencies face when implementing continuous monitoring solutions and what benefits they see upon implementation.

Securing the C-Suite: Cybersecurity Perspectives from the BoardroomIBM Security
View on-demand: http://bit.ly/1OLCGgd
Cybersecurity incidents have significant impact beyond the IT organization, representing a significant risk to ongoing business continuity and reputation, and requiring heightened engagement across the entire executive team. Common wisdom is that security leaders need to speak in ways the business will understand, but what does that really mean? And how does the business side of an organization view security? To answer these questions, IBM conducted a survey of over 700 C-Suite executives - excluding the CISO - from 28 countries, across 18 industries - to understand any patterns, as well as any differing or aligning attitudes on cybersecurity. 60 percent of respondents are located in mature markets and 40 percent from emerging markets. Participants spanned traditional C-Suite roles, from CEOs and Board members to CFOs, Chief Risk Officers, CMOs, COOs, Human Resource executives, Chief Compliance Officers and Legal Counsel.
View this webinar to hear Diana Kelley, Executive Security Advisor in IBM Security, and Carl Nordman, Functional Research Lead for CFO and Cybersecurity in the IBM Institute for Business Value, discuss findings from the 2015 C-Suite Cybersecurity Study "Securing the C-Suite - Cybersecurity Perspectives from the Boardroom and C-Suite."
This webinar will cover an overview of the study findings, including:

Outlook to the Top Issues for 2022
The 2022 CIO Survey Summary Report provides insight into the priorities, challenges, and opportunities facing IT leaders in the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries this year. Businesses across the world continue to face talent and labor shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and companies within the tech industry are no different. These shortages, combined with changes to the “normal” workplace environment, have resulted in many companies rethinking and assessing their current and future challenges, opportunities, and priorities within their IT departments. In late 2021, Clarkston Consulting conducted a CIO Market Study, aiming to better understand the current priorities and challenges of upper or C-Suite level IT professionals (CIO/CISO/CTO/VP) at large companies ($350M+ revenue) in the retail, CPG, manufacturing, or life science industries. The four key objectives for the 2022 CIO Survey were to:
Understand the overall relationship between IT and other departments within the company.
Understand current IT budget distribution, technologies/platforms used, and sources for technology-specific learning and development.
Identify attributes that are important in selecting outsourcing or managed services partners, a professional services provider, or a technology platform/vendor.
Determine priorities for the coming year and understand how COVID-19 has changed priorities in recent years.
Market Study Results
Through this CIO Market Study, Clarkston was able to gain valuable insight on the current status and perceptions of IT departments, including budget, ERP usage, investments, outsourced activities, and department health; department expectations, priorities, and plans for the upcoming year; and important attributes in outsourcing and managed services, among other key findings.
The results of this survey provide a detailed view of many of the challenges that IT departments across the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries continue to face, particularly as they navigate the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the workplace.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
