The european product safety system and the supply chainjackwind
1) The European product safety system was launched over 20 years ago to support the free movement of goods within the EU single market through prevention of new trade barriers, mutual recognition, and technical harmonization.
2) However, the system faces challenges in effectively ensuring product safety for increasingly complex electric and electronic products made through global supply chains. Studies show high rates of non-compliant products in certain sectors.
3) Third-party certification provides a proactive approach to prevent injuries and provides more compliance, coherence and confidence than a supplier's self-declaration of conformity alone.
This document discusses findings from the Third European Survey of Enterprises on New and Emerging Risks (ESENER-3) regarding occupational safety and health (OSH) in European workplaces. It finds that musculoskeletal disorders and psychosocial risks are increasing, while measures to address sustainable working lives are decreasing. Few workplaces discuss the impact of digital technologies on OSH risks like prolonged sitting and information overload. Most organizations address OSH to fulfill legal obligations. Labour inspections have decreased in many countries. The survey provides data on OSH risks and practices to help workplaces better manage worker health and safety.

Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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).

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

preventative safety culture could be beneficial for
workers, employers and governments both in avoiding
workplace accidents and illnesses and improving
business performance.
18. The following are actions that should be taken:
• Encouraging social dialogue between trade unions and
employers;
• Strengthening health and safety legislation through strong
labour inspection.
• Providing laws and services promoting safe and healthy
workplaces.
• Adapting work to the capabilities of workers in terms of their
state of physical and mental health.
