Until late 2013, all customers running BASE24 on the HP NonStop platform had to rely on compensating controls in the area of PCI 3.4.
With the advent on solutions enabling full compliance in the area of protection of data at rest for BASE24, it is important to pick a solution which fully satisfies your requirements and also makes sure BASE24 stays as stable and performant as it is.
This presentation explores some areas comForte has found to be rather relevant due its various proof of concepts and with the customers already in production with its product, SecurData/24.
BASE24 classic is a rock-solid system for processing ATM and credit card transactions. However, the technology behind BASE24 is decades old and for that reason BASE24 classic does not well integrate into modern Interprise IT environments, also there are shortcomings in compliance areas.
This presentations shows how BASE24 classic can easily be modernized - without having to touch any source code file and thus keeping the "Kernel" unchanged.
The applications being built today have drastically different requirements than those built five, 10 or 20 years ago.
In this seminar, you heard from Chief Architect Steve Emmerich about how this company that processes $13 trillion daily is reconsidering database deployment architecture and working toward an always-on, high-performance, elastically scalable database.

Ten questions to ask before choosing SCADA softwareTrihedral
http://www.trihedral.com - When creating SCADA specifications, engineering firms must focus on meeting the immediate start-up and operational requirements of the SCADA system. This often means specifying products with which they are familiar. The engineer wants to ensure that the new system meets all start-up requirements at a reasonable price. It is often difficult to look past the immediate project and consider long range plans, cost of system maintenance, and keeping your SCADA application current with evolving technology. The following questions may help you ensure that these decisions will optimize your long-term SCADA strategy.
IoT-based Industry 4.0 has become a hot topic in the manufacturing world in the last few years and will probably continue to lead industrial trends for the foreseeable future, bringing bounteous new business opportunities for equipment builders and system integrators as they help to revamp traditional factories into Industry 4.0 manufacturing environments. The principle
Industry 4.0 concept is connecting machines, work pieces, and systems to a network, allowing them to communicate with each
other to become an intelligent system where individual units can influence each other automatically to maximize throughput and quality. A factory that practices Industry 4.0 is called an iFactory.

roadly speaking, middleware
ties application components
together. This definition en-
c o m p a s s e s too many prod-
ucts to cover in one article,
so instead I'll look at signifi-
cant products that can be used to manage
cross-platform connectivity in a database
environment. Within this context, mid-
dleware products provide several impor-
tant functions, including:
• d a t a a c c e s s to h e t e r o g e n e o u s data-
bases;
• g a t e w a y s to r e m o t e mainframe data-
bases;
• appficafion partitioning across multiple
hardware platforms; and
• distributed updates across a homoge-
neous or h e t e r o g e n e o u s set of relational
databases.
M a n y m i d d l e w a r e p r o d u c t s have ap-
p e a r e d o v e r the l a s t s e v e r a l y e a r s t h a t
have attempted to solve the various prob-
l e m s a s s o c i a t e d with a c c e s s i n g and up-
dating databases over local and wide area
n e t w o r k s (LANs and WANs). F o r the
most part, p r o g r e s s in deploying produc-
tion applications that utilize middleware
has been slow - - much slower than what
you m i g h t first think. C u s t o m e r refer-
e n c e s for m i d d l e w a r e p r o d u c t s are still
few and far between. M o s t applications
that use middleware s e e m to have a rela-
tively simple application profile; that is,
low v o l u m e s of read-only t r a n s a c t i o n s .
However, in some cases, middleware has
b e e n u s e d Successfully to s u p p o r t very
large, mission-critical systems. Develop-
ing t h e s e types of systems usually takes
a substantial amount of time, resources,

Fiori and S/4 authorizations: "What are the biggest challenges, and where do the risks lie?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Many SAP customers are currently planning to implement SAP S/4HANA or are already making the transition. Besides the extensive new architectural aspects involved, implementing S/4HANA and Fiori also changes quite a few longstanding rules in the area of SAP authorizations.
A number of transactions - some of which veteran SAP ERP users have come to hold dear - have either been integrated into other transactions, replaced by Fiori apps, or simply eliminated. Meanwhile, the consistent use of OData services in the context of Fiori has resulted in a variety of ramifications with regard to security design in both the front and back end.

This drastically reduces latency and drastically improves throughput in NonStop Hybrid environments.
From a high level business view, this makes HPE NonStop a player in private cloud environments TODAY.
Comparing the TCO of HP NonStop with Oracle RACThomas Burg
HP NonStop is often (wrongly!) perceived as "expensive", specifically compared with the combination of "vanilla X86 hardware" and the Oracle RAC DB offering.
This presentation talks about an in-depth analysis HP did to compare the two offerings fair and square. You might be surprised at the results ...
HP NonStop applications: Modernization from the Ground-up and the User-inThomas Burg
Presentation for use by comForte and Carr Scott Software for user gatherings discussing comForte’s unique capabilities to help customers modernize their ‘Tandem’ legacy applications and why you can re-invest with confidence in your HP NonStop platform.
You may be compliant, but are you really secure?Thomas Burg
Presented by Greg Swedosh from Knightcraft Technology (www.knightcraft.com) at NonStop Bootcamp 2014.
This presentation explains why being PCI compliant does *not* equal being secure. While this is a general statement, the presentation does focus on the HP NonStop platform.
Excerpt from a summary slide:
Without a strong commitment to security by the executive team, being compliant only provides a false sense of security.
It often just becomes about ticking boxes and “filling gaps”.
Where there is no serious commitment to security, an organization will always be significantly more vulnerable.

This talk was given at the PKF (Payment Knowledge Forum) in London on September 30th as part of the 2014 summit.
For details about PKF see http://www.thepkf.org, for details about the 2014 summit see http://www.thepkf.org/lon_2014eventinfo.php. It was, once more, a very good event - highly recommended.
This presentation has three pieces: (1) How was the attack against Target executed and how could it have been stopped (2) Has the attacked changed the security landscape and if so how (3) Recommendations for going about securing computer systems
comForte CSL: a messaging middleware framework for HP NonStopThomas Burg
The comForte CSL product is a flexible and powerful messaging middleware framework for the HP NonStop platform. This presentation describes the product on several levels:
(1) Elevator pitch (Why/How/What?)
(2) Technical Use Cases (Geeky!)
(3) Business Cases
(4) How to modernize a legacy COBOL application
(5) Competing products
This short presentation gives an overview about the comForte SecurTape product. SecurTape implements backup tape encryption for the HP NonStop computing platform. It uses software only.
From Russia with Love - modern tools used in Cyber AttacksThomas Burg
Cyber Attacks have come a long way since the first computer Virus "Brain" was created in 1986. This presentation looks at the changes and the consequences resulting for the state of computer security today.
The Verizon 2012/2013 Data Breach Investigations Reports - Lessons Learned fo...Thomas Burg
In light of the recent security breaches against payment systems (most prominent: Target), running BASE24 securely is becoming even more important than before.
This presentation discusses properly the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (VDBR) with a focus on the relevance on securing BASE24 systems.
It also discusses the (sad!) state of computer security today, how this came about and what can be done about it.
Survival of the Fittest: Modernize your NonStop applications todayThomas Burg
Many CIOs and IT leaders view applications running on HP NonStop systems as inflexible and/or expensive. After all, these systems have been around 35+ years after all – so OLD indeed they are. And aren’t these systems kind of like mainframes (so sure enough they are EXPENSIVE) ? Finally, the people working on the platform are using special emulators getting to the systems (INFLEXIBLE?) ?
The reality is more complex and is discussed controversially using themes such as “Total Cost of Ownership”, the platform being “open” or “standard”. Let’s try to stay with the facts here:
-yes, the systems have been around for a long time
-So have been some applications running on it
-Some applications have not seen changes in the last 10 years
-the Gartner’s of the world don’t like them (if nothing else, because they don’t run on X86 hardware)
This presentation discusses that it is up to YOU, the NonStop platform owner to modernize your applications in order to make sure they are *not* inflexible, *not* expensive to operate etc. It also shows that application/platform modernization is often easier than you think.
Innovating Inference - Remote Triggering of Large Language Models on HPC Clus...Globus
Large Language Models (LLMs) are currently the center of attention in the tech world, particularly for their potential to advance research. In this presentation, we'll explore a straightforward and effective method for quickly initiating inference runs on supercomputers using the vLLM tool with Globus Compute, specifically on the Polaris system at ALCF. We'll begin by briefly discussing the popularity and applications of LLMs in various fields. Following this, we will introduce the vLLM tool, and explain how it integrates with Globus Compute to efficiently manage LLM operations on Polaris. Attendees will learn the practical aspects of setting up and remotely triggering LLMs from local machines, focusing on ease of use and efficiency. This talk is ideal for researchers and practitioners looking to leverage the power of LLMs in their work, offering a clear guide to harnessing supercomputing resources for quick and effective LLM inference.
Paketo Buildpacks : la meilleure façon de construire des images OCI? DevopsDa...Anthony Dahanne
Les Buildpacks existent depuis plus de 10 ans ! D’abord, ils étaient utilisés pour détecter et construire une application avant de la déployer sur certains PaaS. Ensuite, nous avons pu créer des images Docker (OCI) avec leur dernière génération, les Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNCF en incubation). Sont-ils une bonne alternative au Dockerfile ? Que sont les buildpacks Paketo ? Quelles communautés les soutiennent et comment ?

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Quarkus Hidden and Forbidden ExtensionsMax Andersen
Quarkus has a vast extension ecosystem and is known for its subsonic and subatomic feature set. Some of these features are not as well known, and some extensions are less talked about, but that does not make them less interesting - quite the opposite.
Come join this talk to see some tips and tricks for using Quarkus and some of the lesser known features, extensions and development techniques.
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.
OpenFOAM solver for Helmholtz equation, helmholtzFoam / helmholtzBubbleFoamtakuyayamamoto1800
In this slide, we show the simulation example and the way to compile this solver.
In this solver, the Helmholtz equation can be solved by helmholtzFoam. Also, the Helmholtz equation with uniformly dispersed bubbles can be simulated by helmholtzBubbleFoam.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

7. The PCI compliance situation for BASE24 is as follows:
•Hundreds of customers running BASE24 classic on HP NonStop
•Each of them is relying on so-called compensating controls to satisfy PCI requirement 3.4 (which states that PAN data cannot be in the clear on disk)
•The HP VLE product is _not_ the answer (!)
•Compensating controls are (1) costly (2) only an option if no other solution is available
•With SecurData (and competing products), now there IS another solution available copyright (2014) comForte 21 7
8. Let's look at some basic principles of securing data-at-rest, from an attacker's perspective. To steal credit card data, the attacker would need to bypass your perimeterprotection, getarround your anti-virus scanning, overcomeaccess control mechanisms to get onto your internal network systems where credit card data is storedandavoid detection through monitoring happening at the variouslevels.
Recent data breaches have shown that this IS possible using so called Advanced Persistent Threats. These attacks are real. They are very sophisticated. They find the data. They get around the walls. They get through the„walls“. Insider attacks are another serious danger. A privileged user with legitimate access to sensitive data storage is already inside many of thesewalls. Ifa disgruntled employee or contractor goes rogue, damage can be significant.
Here PCI requirement 3.4 comes into play: Even when credit card information is stolen, misplaced, lost or misused, it's protected as long as the PAN is renderedunreadable. Rendering the PAN unreadable is your last line of defense. That's why it is a core requirement of the PCI standard.
It is also obvious, that encryption of the data can only be effective against insider attacks and advanced persistent theats if decryption keys are managed independently from the operating system and are not tied to user accounts. That's why this is expilicitly required for encryption solutions in the PCI standard–andthisiswhytheHP VLE productalonedoesNOT sufficetobePCI 3.4 compliant.

9. In this section, we look at some features a complete solution should have in comForte’sopinion.

10. Wearelookingat this simplified picture of a Payment Processing system. This architecturefitsBASE24 classic well, asitdoesBASE24-eps or home-grownpaymentprocessingengines.
The systemtypicallywrites transaction data including the PAN to log files. Itmay also store PANs in card holder files –all in clear text.
Finally, it may create export files for transmission to other systems in regular intervals and it may update card holder data from import files stored on the system.
A typical NonStop Payment System processes and stores a MASSIVE amount of PANs, potentially millions on a single day. Any malicious access to these files would be absolutely disastrous; it would be very expensive in post-incident handling, it will probably get you on the front- page of newspapers and massively damage your brand. copyright (2014) comForte 21 10
11. Now let's come back to BASE24 systems: Why do such a critical systems rely on compensating controls instead of fully implementing PCI-DSS for the best protection of the data? Unfortunately, BASE24 does not provide any data level encryption. Changing the BASE24 code and database to implement that protection would be a huge effort and is simply not feasible for most customers in practice. Thus, BASE24 users world-wide were forced to fall back on compensating controls as the second best choice.
This is where the comForte SecurData/24 solution comes in: For the first time ever, BASE24 can be made fully PCI 3.4 compliant.
SecurData/24 works completely transparent at the I/O level. It does not require any code changes and can be integrated easily into existing processing environments. And unlike disk volume level encryption, SecurData/24 manages logical access to decryption keys independently of native operating system mechanisms and does not tie it to user accounts. [SecurData/24 isa variant ofthegeneralSecurDataproduct, pre-configuredspecificallyforBASE24 classic users].
Even better, it cannot only help you to achieve full 3.4 complaince for the BASE24 servers, but also for other enterprise systems exchanging PAN data with them.

15. Detailedauditing in computer-readable format is a standard feature of the solution. This screen shows the audit in its default format which is name/value pairs. This is easily to be read by computers and should be fed into a central SIEM system.

16. Here we have converted the output from the prior slide into an Excel sheet, showing the detailedinformation available in the audit log. The audit log can be configured to write a new set of data in regular intervals (hourly, daily, …) or via request from the command-line interface.

17. The requirement here is to convert from a file transfer of atemporary Extract file to a “direct upload” to the remote system without having to store an intermediate file.
This is one of the advanced features of the product.
copyright (2014) comForte 21 17
18. This slide shows how the requirement from the previous file is met: TheSecurData intercept library is bound into the (extract) application and does an on-the-fly file transfer without even requiring an intermediate file. This works both for FTP transfers as for SFTP transfers.
Under the hood, the powerful concept of “pipes” under Unix is used to construct a chain of processes through which the data is fed without an intermediate file.
In the given example, the command “cat > remote_file” is executed directly on the remote system. The input into this “process pipe chain” is coming from the SDATA file relocation server.

20. Thereare three core components in SecurData:
•The SecurData Intercept library is bound into the application andintercepting all data base I/Os
•For each application data base I/O the SecurData Manager is now tokenizing respectively de-tokenizing the PAN before the data base is really accessed.
•By design, SecurData is open towards which “Tokenization engine” is being used.

21. During the design stages of the product comForte made sure that there will be no ‘engine lock-in’ with SecurData. After all, there are many large players offering tokenization and/or encryption solutions and we wanted to make sure each customer can use his preferred vendor. We also designed our own, patent-pending, tokenization algorithm.
Comparing SecurData with enterprise data protection solutions
The aforementioned enterprise data protection solutions do not offer any solution for instrumenting HP NonStop applications without code changes. While they may be offering an API for HP NonStop servers, they leave it to the application programmers to integrate it into their application. SecurData is therefore not competing with these solutions, but rather complementing them with its unique capabilities for application-transparent data protection.
Powerful built-in tokenization engine
To address the requirements of customers who are looking for a self-contained and cost-effective solution for their NonStop application, SecurData includes a very powerful data-at-rest protection engine itself. The SecurData tokenization engine runs directly on the NonStop Server, with minimal performance impact for the application. It uses a patent-pending stateless tokenization scheme (tokens and sensitive data elements are NOT stored in a database) which has been analyzed by renowned independent cryptologists.
Easy integration with enterprise data protection solutions
comForte SecurData can be easily integrated with any cross-platform enterprise data protection solution, such as Protegrity’sData Security Platform, RSA’s Data Protection Manager or Voltage’s Secure Data product. comForte SecurData provides the glue between the application and the enterprise data protection solution, to avoid rewriting any application code.
Under the strategic partnership with Protegrity (see https://www.comforte.com/resources/news/strategic-partnership/), comForte SecurData is fully integrated with Protegrity’sEnterprise Security Administrator (ESA), which has been proven to meet performance requirements of high volume online transaction and batch processing. Before using another enterprise data protection solution it should be ensured that it meets the specific data format and performance requirements of the target application.

28. The PANfinder product is a complementaryproduct to SecurData. In a nutshell, it is a scanning engine for PANs (and other confidential) on HP NonStop. It will scan the whole file system as well as databases and come back with a (sanitized) list of all files containing PANs.
A scan prior to the usage of SecurData will return all locations of critical files (prepare for some surprises).
A scan after installing SecurData should return zero critical files – otherwise you probably missed some during the design stages.
