Kukier chaney-2005-effect of biosolids on phytoavailability of cdDeirdre Bingman
Researchers studied the effect of long-term biosolids application on cadmium (Cd) phytoavailability in soils. Soils from fields amended with biosolids up to 24 years prior still showed reduced Cd uptake by romaine lettuce compared to unamended soils. The biosolids provided long-term protection by keeping Cd in a less available form. Modern high-quality biosolids contain low Cd levels and Cd:Zn ratios, preventing high Cd accumulation in crops since zinc inhibits Cd uptake and availability.

"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor IvaniukFwdays
At this talk we will discuss DDoS protection tools and best practices, discuss network architectures and what AWS has to offer. Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

7. Business Context
Evolving End-User Populations
• The days of enterprise end-users being largely synonymous with internal employees are over
In Aberdeen’s 2011 study on managing identities and
access:
For every 100 employees there are another 27
temporary employees or contractors
Of this combined population, about 2 out of 5 (39%) are
supported as mobile / remote users
Externally, support for business partners adds still
another 20% to the total end-user count –
And this updated figure is then more than doubled
when adding in support for the organization's external
customers
Effects of changing end-user populations
Increased security- and compliance-related risks
Pressure on the necessary supporting infrastructure
(e.g., including all people, process, technology,
hardware, software, services, training and support)
7
8. Business Context
Evolving Endpoint Complexity
• Momentum behind greater diversity and complexity of the enterprise IT infrastructure continues to mount
Enterprise end-users increasingly have an expectation of
access to enterprise resources from any place, at any
time, from any mobile platform
94% support access to enterprise email
89% support access to enterprise contacts
89% support access to enterprise calendar
87% support access to enterprise web-based apps
45% support access to corporate network or Wi-Fi
Of particular note is the growing population of mobile
endpoint devices that are not provisioned and managed
by the enterprise
72% of respondents in Aberdeen’s study on enterprise
mobility support corporate-owned devices
62% support employee-owned devices
Greater diversity and complexity of the enterprise IT
infrastructure creates corresponding challenges to the
enterprise's ability to maintain some semblance of
visibility and control
8
9. Business Context
Evolving Characteristics of Enterprise Applications and Data
• Enterprise data is generally not created to be hidden away – it is generally created to be shared
• This naturally increases the need for the means to access enterprise resources, securely and reliably
Data volume and type Applications / services

10. Business Context
The cost of Complexity also amplifies the cost of Compliance
• In the context of their identity and access management initiatives, many organizations struggle with
implementing repeatable approaches to demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements such as
attestation and separation of duties (SoD) … and this is consuming more and more of their IT budgets
Attestation refers to the Separation of duties (or

“Platform” vs. “Point Solution”
Aberdeen’s research shows a discernable shift from
enterprise self-integration of point solutions for IAM
toward more of a vendor-integrated approach
Some solution providers refer to this as an IAM "platform“
Others emphasize vendor integration, but feel that the
term "platform" implies a lack of flexibility and choice
Aberdeen’s perspective
Any approach that shifts the burden of integration from the
enterprise to the solution provider is a welcome trend

28. How IAM Capabilities Are Achieved
Configuration (out-of-the-box) vs. Customization (coding)
• Leaders are slightly more able than all others to achieve IAM capabilities by configuration than by coding
• Adopters of the Platform approach have pushed this advantage a bit further; no impact for Point Solution
• Cost implications are obvious; vendor enhancements in this area would receive strong market welcome

30. Summary
Based on more a study of more than 160 respondents, Aberdeen's
analysis of 32 enterprises which have adopted the vendor-integrated
(Platform) approach to identity and access management, and 39
organizations which have adopted the enterprise-integrated (Point
Solution) approach, showed that the vendor-integrated approach
correlates with the realization of significant advantages –
including
Increased end-user productivity
Reduced risk
Increased agility
Enhanced security and compliance
Reduced total cost.

31. Recommendations
Crawl / Walk / Run (1 of 3)
• Aberdeen's research consistently confirms the merits of a pragmatic "Crawl, Walk, Run" approach as
the basic template for successful enterprise-wide initiatives
Adopt a primary strategic focus. Which of the following strategies
supports the most compelling business case for your organization's
investments in IAM: convenience and productivity for end-users?
Compliance and security requirements? Consistency of policies for
managing identities and access to corporate resources? Cost savings and
cost avoidance through greater efficiency and effectiveness? The essential
first step is to identify the strategy that is most compelling for your
organization to get started, and begin.
Put someone in charge. Having a responsible executive or team with
primary ownership for important enterprise-wide initiatives is consistently
correlated with the achievement of top results. IAM initiatives are consistent
with this pattern.
Prioritize security control objectives as a function of requirements for
risk, audit and compliance. Emphasizing security before compliance, rather
than the other way around, reduces the probability of overlaps in controls
(which waste resources) or gaps (which increase vulnerabilities).
33
32. Recommendations
Crawl / Walk / Run (2 of 3)
Establish consistent policies for end-user identities and end-user access
to enterprise resources. As the expression of management's intent for the
business, consistent policies are the foundation for any successful IAM
initiative.
Standardize the workflow for the IAM lifecycle, including workflow-based
approval for exceptions. Standardization and automation of workflow should
not mean automatic approval, however – on the contrary, increased
involvement and accountability for approvals puts a greater responsibility on
the business owners rather than on the IT staff.
Standardize audit, analysis and reporting for IAM projects, including
reporting for who approved access and when, periodic validation that end-
users have appropriate access, and enforcement for separation of duties.
Quarterly attestation reviews, for example, are common to address
requirements for regulatory compliance.
34
33. Recommendations
Crawl / Walk / Run (3 of 3)
Evaluate and select IAM solutions. Pay special attention to the level of
integration and intelligence provided by the IAM solution provider(s), versus
the degree of integration that remains to be completed by the enterprise.
Another critical consideration is the proportion of capabilities that can be
achieved by configuration (i.e., out-of-the-box) versus customization (i.e.,
coding and services). Proposals which are disproportionately heavy with
professional services from vendors or their third-party business partners do
not move a given solution from the enterprise-integrated category to the
vendor-integrated category.
