The enterprise network is the strong, rugged backbone of every modern business. but the complexities of convergence, the drive for extra capacity & capability and the pressure on cost control demand a new standard of network provision – from a new breed of provider.
Exponential data growth, as well as the requirement for long term data retention, is one of today’s major it challenges. traditional technologies struggle to keep pace with storage and data management requirements (that can grow by up to 50% annually), which piles pressure on it budgets like never before. additional challenges such as carbon footprint reduction add to the headache, costing businesses precious time and resources as they focus on back-end infrastructure at the expense of front-end business systems.
InTechnology is defined as much by how we do things as by what we do. We don’t simply throw technology at a problem: We collaborate with users
to understand the issues, grasp the context and devise the most appropriate solution. We deliver what we promise. We won’t disappear but will
stick around for the duration. If there’s a problem we’ll get it fixed. If there’s a challenge we’ll rise to it. If you want more, we give you more. If you want less, we scale back. Honesty, accountability and responsiveness are everything.
The provision of infrastructure as a service (iaas) is one of the fastest growing areas of it & communications, with businesses across the uK facing the challenge of ‘doing more with less’.
The adoption of managed storage and servers in particular is helping organisations address the multiple challenges of reducing it spend; ensuring 99.99% application availability; enabling ‘on-demand’ capacity; consolidating server and storage infrastructure and reducing carbon footprint.
Cloud based delivery models are increasingly seen as a ‘must’ when it comes to data delivery and storage. intechnology’s purpose-built £100m infrastructure is optimised to support and drive that trend.
To businesses everywhere, a phone system is like the air we breathe. We need it to survive and yet we take it for granted. For many businesses running legacy telephone systems that’s as far as it goes. It works, so why change it? However, that age-old split between desktop client /server computing on one hand and traditional voice communication on the other is being challenged by the fast-changing tide of voice and data convergence.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

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).
