As more organizations turn to virtual private networks (VPNs) based on Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology to meet their remote access needs, it’s becoming clear that SSL VPN solutions based on
a general purpose computing platform are not equipped to meet the demanding requirements of
medium to large enterprises and service providers.
Such customers have stringent demands for security, user experience, response time, throughput,
and scalability. At the same time, they want to become more efficient by consolidating a plethora of
access control lists (ACLs)—from firewalls, LAN switches, wireless LAN devices and application security
proxies—onto a single VPN system.
Only a purpose-built SSL VPN platform can satisfy these demands.
This paper will discuss the attributes of such a purpose-built SSL VPN platform—the Array Networks
SPX— and how it cost-effectively delivers real-world benefits to enterprises and service providers
including:
• Improved security, flexibility and control
• Improved performance, productivity and user experience
• Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO)

Secure and Govern Integration between the Enterprise & the CloudCA API Management
Secure, govern and mediate integrations between enterprise applications and Cloud services
Overview
For Best Buy, the public Cloud provides a strategic way to dynamically scale consumer and partner-facing Web and API assets. The Cloud lets Best Buy accommodate peaks in demand without overbuilding, while isolating sensitive data from the public.
Best Buy also needs a consistent way to control what information is shared with applications in the Cloud, while simultaneously insulating development teams from the vagaries of security, management and mediation challenges that arise when implementing a hybrid Cloud solution.
This Webinar, presented by Best Buy, Amazon Web Services and Layer 7 Technologies, looks at a specific example of the Best Buy API Developer Portal and share best practices for security, governance and mediation of enterprise services with applications in the Cloud.
With the ever increasing growth of mobile applications and API technologies the topics of identity management, authentication and authorisation are as important as ever. The technologies mean that those responsible for identity management and security increasingly have more to consider when deploying and enforcing security. With rapid time to market demands from the business there is much to consider when delivering an open but secure environment for the business and their users.
This session will look at some of the considerations and issues faced in designing and delivering IdM in this emerging space. We will look at how topics such as OAuth, OpenID connect and single sign on play their part in these policies and how governance plays a key role alongside security to protect the environment.

Revisiting Geddes' Outlook Tower - Mike Amundsen, Director of API Architectur...CA API Management
The Information Age, 100 years on
The rise of the computer and the digital revolution is responsible for an explosion of devices, data, and connectedness. These are all enabling what is called the dawning of the Information Age. And software designers, developers, and architects all share an important responsibility for shaping and guiding the world’s progress through this axial age into the future.
However, more than 100 years ago, the work of organizing the world’s information into a single all-encompassing taxonomy had already begun. Partially influenced by the positivist doctrine of Auguste Comte, leading thinkers of the early 20th century such as the librarian Paul Otlet in Belgium, museum curator Patrick Geddes in Scotland, and educator Melvil Dewey in the US were each working to design universal classification systems that would encompass and coordinate the explosion of information appearing in libraries, museums, newspapers, magazines, and eventually even radio, movies, and television.
What did we learn in the last century? What have we forgotten? How does their work affect our current trajectory in transforming the work of software and systems design and development? What can we take from Dewey, Otlet, and Geddes with us in to the next 100 years of the Information Age.
Managing Identity by Giving Up Control - Scott Morrison, SVP & Distinguished ...CA API Management
Identity on the Internet is changing. Social networking has kicked off a massive change in how we integrate identity across applications. This is much more than a simple redesign of security tokens and protocols; instead it is a radical redistribution of power and control over entitlements, shifting it away from the centralized control of a cabal of directory engineers and out to the users themselves.
There are compelling reasons for this shift: it enables scaling of identity administration, and it promotes rapid and agile integration of applications. These are goals shared by the enterprise, but this change has significant implications on infrastructure, people and process. Join us to learn how you can bring modern identity management into the enterprise.

Best Practices You Must Apply to Secure Your APIs - Scott Morrison, SVP & Dis...CA API Management
The document discusses best practices for securing APIs and identifies three key areas: parameterization, identity, and cryptography. It notes that APIs have a larger attack surface than traditional web apps due to more direct parameterization. It recommends rigorous input and output validation, schema validation, and constraining HTTP methods and URIs. For identity, it advises using real security tokens like OAuth instead of API keys alone. It also stresses the importance of proper cryptography, like using SSL everywhere and following best practices for key management and PKI. The overall message is that APIs require different security practices than traditional web apps.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
