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).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Brand new world
We are entering a world where whatever consumers
want is communicated instantly and gratification
is expected immediately. It’s a world where:
• A company’s ability to achieve hyper-personalization and on-
demand delivery are as important as the product it produces.
• The ability to meet each consumer’s needs at a specific
moment in time is the new marker of competitive advantage.
• New technologies open up previously unimaginable
opportunities for product and business model innovation.
3. Innovation
today
CG&S innovation has historically taken
two main forms.
• Companies establish innovation arms to develop
new products and penetrate new markets.
• Companies acquire brands to access innovation
and new business models.
4. Today, a new set of technologies
—Distributed Ledgers, Artificial
Intelligence, Extended Reality and
Quantum Computing (or DARQ)—
are pushing innovation to new limits.
Innovation
in the New,
now
6. TREND 1
The rise of the
human+ worker
CG&S workforces can now use
technology to improve their human
capabilities—particularly in the areas of
critical reasoning and decision-making.
7. Underpinning this new human+ capacity is
data and, by extension, the tools and analytics
that convert data into meaningful and actionable
insights and innovations. New approaches to
data management and new tools change how
employees spend their time.
AI systems and machine learning provide sales
teams with recommended next-step actions when
interacting with customers and, increasingly,
directly with consumers.
Data analytics optimize routes and schedules,
thereby freeing one day a week for sales teams
to focus on what they do best: selling.
Big data analytics optimize time spent on marketing,
assortment planning and sales forecasting by bringing
together information from large, integrated data sets.
9. of industry executives agree that
the integration of customization
and real-time delivery is the next big
wave of competitive advantage.
87%
On-demand and hyper-personalized, hyper-
relevant products and offerings are on the
horizon. Sooner rather than later, consumers
will expect every CG&S organization to offer
both.
Some companies have already made
the move.
11. Before CG&S companies can create the
in-the-moment, just-in-time products and
services consumers crave, they have to
know the opportunity exists. That means
identifying consumer needs before their
competitors do—and potentially before
consumers themselves do.
Technology-driven interactions are
increasingly important sources of information
about the next generation of consumers.
of CG&S executives believe digital
demographics will give them a new
way to identify market opportunities
for unmet consumer needs.
85%
12. Seizing the
new innovation
opportunities
CG&S companies are poised to take advantage of
new innovations that will redefine how they engage
and serve their customers. We advocate they focus
on three things to prepare for what comes next.
STEP INTO THE DARQ
BUILD THE HUMAN+ WORKFORCE
SECURE US TO SECURE ME
13. Step into
the DARQ
Future-minded leaders know they will need every
digital tool in their current arsenal, as well as new ones.
The vast majority of CG&S companies are ready to
embrace DARQ technologies. This is good news, since
a culture of experimentation will be key to achieving
innovation breakthroughs in the coming years.
14. Among our survey respondents, AI is thought
to hold the greatest potential in terms of
industry impact over the next three years.
That explains why so many companies are
deploying AI solutions to transform everything from
operational efficiencies to consumer experiences.
But Distributed Ledgers and Extended Reality are
also pushing innovation in new areas.
of CG&S companies are already
experimenting with DARQ technologies.
believe the combination of the DARQ
technologies will transform their business
over the next 3 years.
88%
70%
15. Questions
to ask…
Is your digital foundation ready for DARQ?
How can you use DARQ to shape the future of CG&S?
How will you identify and access the DARQ technologies
that are relevant for your business?
What should you do first?
16. Build the
human+
workforce
CG&S companies have the chance to use the
inherent strengths of their people and intelligent
technologies to create a powerful advantage.
The same technologies that augment workers’
skills and experiences are also driving changes
to organizational roles and workforce strategies.
17. Leading CG&S companies recognize that next-
generation growth requires next-generation
workforce models that:
• Integrate employees, machines and freelancers.
• Attract on-demand workers from flexible talent pools.
• Make lifelong learning opportunities available to all
employees.
• Free people to focus on innovation and delighting
consumers.
of CG&S executives believe the majority
of their workforce will move into new roles
in the next three years.
believe that increased employee velocity has
increased the demand for reskilling and
retraining.
39%
79%
18. Is your approach to talent-finding and acquisition
ready for the next wave of innovation that is
needed in the industry?
How are you industrializing workers’ transitions
between roles and enabling them with new skills?
Questions
to ask…
19. Secure us to
secure me
The future of the CG&S industry will be
characterized by partnerships and
collaborations among multiple players
that deliver more and better products
and services collectively than any one
participant could deliver on its own.
20. Opportunities abound for CG&S companies to
establish or join ecosystems that spark joint product
development and enable the sharing of ideas,
data and innovations. Companies need to carefully
consider the roles they can play. They must choose
their partners wisely. And given that new ecosystem
services will be based on extensive data sharing
among participants, they must squarely focus on
securing those ecosystems.
of CG&S executives believe they need to
rethink security to protect not just themselves,
but their ecosystems. Yet, only 27 percent
truly know that their ecosystem partners take
security as seriously as they do.
90%
21. How are ecosystems changing your risk exposure?
Is your organization considering the security
implications of ecosystem participation?
Questions
to ask…
22. The road ahead
We’re entering a new era for CG&S. It’s an era of massive
consumer expectations. Of unparalleled innovations and
momentary markets. An era characterized by the creative uses
of new technologies to transform everything from consumer
experiences to workforce productivity and operational excellence.
Forward-thinking companies are setting
their course to the new reality today.
Where will you go? Are you ready for what’s next?
23. About the
research
Each year, the Accenture Technology Vision team
partners with Accenture Research to pinpoint the
emerging IT developments that will have the
greatest impact on organizations in the coming years.
In 2019, the process included a global survey of
6,672 business and IT leaders—including 602 CG&S
executives in 26 countries. This report’s findings are
based on analyses of their responses.
