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).

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:

Peer-tutoring experience:
we offer at teen-agers a chance as tutor versus preteens, this educational strategy activates a spontaneus
transfer of knowledge, emotion and experiences, from
some older students to a group of younger.
During the stage of training they face this topics:
• Physics
(temperature,
air
pressure,
wind,
precipitation, relative humidity, fluid dynamics,..)
• Heat conservation, photovoltaic, dynamo, energetic
performance, renewable resources,..
• Meteorology and climatology, general and local, the
hypotesis, cause and effect of the global warming, the
greehouse effect
During the “event” the Tutors accompany and illustrate
the exhibits, making experimentation and “touching” the
kits.
