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. GoGrid’s Challenges
GoGrid is a cloud provider, building their own
software
Developing and testing their cloud
management software is complex. They need
to create and maintain realistic environments
in order to load them with their latest software
builds
~10 different servers types
~20 different services
3. The problem?
Current time to setup a development/QA
environment is 2 days
• Mostly manual work
Building the environments manually is very
error prone
A high level of interconnectivity between
services
4. Goal
To be able to create development and
testing environments dynamically, in a
customizable way, and on cloud
infrastructure
A Cloud in a Cloud
5. Additional Challenges
Environments need to be verified as fully functional before
deploying software on them
Must support multiple locations
Must be able to scale dynamically
Must support concurrent development
• Different feature branches
Must manage/version non-software components in a
lockstep with the software:
• Network configuration
• System-level configurations
• Application-level configurations
7. Abstraction layer on resource management
If you code your infrastructure management
code to the jclouds API, you can port your
code to all cloud providers
JVM-based
Provides access to GoGrid’s infrastructure by
abstracting the communication GoGrid’s
Cloud API
8. Uses JClouds to create and manage nodes
Provisions nodes with software and
configuration
Verifies node and service correct operation
Operates the services in the nodes
Nodes are grouped by groups (formerly
known as ‘tags’). All nodes in a group are
equivalent
9. Clojure
Pallet is built on Clojure
Clojure is a JVM-based lisp with superb
integration with Java and concurrency
Can use any existing Java library (Tomcat, jdbc,
etc...)
Provides a high level of abstraction, which is
what is needed in this case
Growing community: there are 7 books on Clojure
either published or in preparation

51. GoGrid’s Development Process
Create a feature branch
Create an environment (cloud infrastructure) for
this branch
Verify new environment (end-to-end tests)
Automatically build and deploy the new software
every time new code is committed to the branch.
Destroy environment and free resources when
done
52. An Environment
Usually one environment for active
development branch
Each environment is specified by:
• The development branch it tracks
• Service types and node count for each service type
• Network configuration
• External services/DB provisioning
53. Development Environments
Each development environment tracks a
development feature branch
Each environment has a node with Hudson
CI, configured to track the environment’s
branch
When new code is pushed to the development
branch, the environment’s Hudson server
builds the software and updates the
environment with it.
55. Why Pallet?
There are well known solutions for node
provisioning in the cloud, why pallet?
• It integrates with infrastructure management
• Service interconnections are first class entities in
the framework
• Scalable programming model
• Integrates well with SCM and with other OPS tools
• Comprehensive support for all development cycles
56. ✓ No central server
✓ No agents on nodes
✓ Works with standard and custom images
✓ First-class support for complex multi-service
configurations
✓ All node configuration done remotely via
generated scripts over SSH
✓ DSL for generating scripts, resources
✓ Testable
57. crates
Pallet’s basic configuration unit
A crate is a grouping of functions around a
service
Functions usually:
• manipulate/create internal representations
• result in resources deployed or scripts being run in
the target nodes
58. proxied
Custom Crates
tomcat reverse
bootstrap tomcat
deploy proxy
Standard Crates
automated haproxy
admin user
java tomcat
59. A Node

75. How are systems interconnected?
Phase 1
• Retrieve and/or create needed nodes
• For each node in each group: run phases for crates
and
a) Collect configuration info
b) Schedule configuration actions to be performed
on node
Phase 2
• Generate and execute scripts and resources
78. Operation
user => (start branch-1-environment)
user => (verify branch-1-environment)
user => (destroy branch-1-environment)
79. Challenge with Pallet
It’s a newcomer in the field.
• Documentation needs work
• Untested support for some combinations of flavors
and versions of Linux
Steep learning curve, a new language
OMG! It’s A Lisp!
