Are you responsible for more than just AppSec? What do you do when you have more teams to support than security experts? How can you make security champions out of dissenters in the development team? There just aren’t enough security experts to go around. You have to support the multitude of Agile and DevOps teams that are making production software changes anywhere from once a month to several times a day. The lack of resources coupled with the ever increasing responsibilities can make you feel like a rouge warrior in the battle against cybercrime. What’s a security professional to do? Whether you are a team of one or five, there aren’t enough hours in the day and even if there was more budget, good luck finding someone to fill that security role. What if I told you that through careful selection and good training it is possible to build your own army from the very people who own the development process? What you will learn: 1. Who to recruit as security champions 2. How to train these champions in productive application security 3. How to measure success 4. How to build a scalable security program 5. What to expect from champions (responsibilities)

STAREAST 2017- Optimize Performance Testing Using Cloud and DevOps

Troy Marshall

Traditional performance testing practices don't scale when you begin delivering software using cloud computing and DevOps. Troy Marshall shares how Ellucian transformed their performance testing program using the same principles DevOps uses to deliver software. It isn't enough just to automate the execution of performance tests. You must continually optimize every step—from building the performance test tool infrastructure, configuring test scripts and scenarios, collecting metrics, and reporting results. In addition, by using cloud computing to implement performance testing, you create significant business value by reducing the cost, increasing velocity, and bringing more visibility to your application’s performance. Join Troy to learn how to enable your development teams to consume performance testing as just another service in the CI/CD pipeline, freeing them to focus attention on developing their products.

Scaling DevOps - delivering on the promise of business velocity and quality

XebiaLabs

This document summarizes a webinar presented by Robert Stroud and Tim Buntel on scaling DevOps practices. The webinar discussed how only 23% of enterprises deploy code monthly or faster, highlighting a need to improve release velocity. It also showed that organizations with more frequent deployments and faster lead times had significantly better outcomes. The presenters advocated for destroying silos through automation across the entire software development pipeline. They recommended transitioning from functional to product teams and packaging everything together to deploy. Metrics for success including achieving business goals and optimizing the software delivery value stream were also covered.

3 Steps to Expand DevOps and Automation Throughout the Enterprise

Puppet

For many organizations, the transition to DevOps starts small, often with a single team delivering new innovation — typically writing the tool chain as well as the application. This creates pockets of success, but reaping the full benefits of a DevOps practice means replicating these practices enterprise-wide. Not an easy task. Through its research, Forrester has identified 3 key steps for breaking down organizational silos and implementing a widespread DevOps initiative. In this on-demand webinar, guest speaker Robert Stroud, principal analyst at Forrester, joins Puppet for a webinar to share these practices and explore: • Trends in DevOps adoption — how many companies really have it figured out, which industries are leading the charge, and where do you fit in? • The role of senior leaders in a DevOps initiative, and why transformation is in their best interest. • How infrastructure automation and configuration management solutions lay the foundation for DevOps practices. • How to select the right tools to support your DevOps transformation.

Deliver on the Promise of Agile and DevOps Transformations

Tasktop

IT organizations are under continual pressure to develop and deliver high-quality applications – at speed - in order to provide key competitive advantage for their company. They’ve adopted Agile and DevOps practices. But particularly for large organizations with complex application portfolios or compliance pressures, these practices have yet to fulfill the promise of enhancing an organization’s ability to continually deliver customer value. Agile has improved development and test; and DevOps has streamlined getting code into production. But these advances have been localized improvements; to get to the next step software delivery leaders must take a more holistic approach to improving the entire lifecycle. In this webinar guest speaker, Forrester Senior Analyst Christopher Condo will present his analysis of practices used in modern application delivery and will describe how creating an integrated value stream can help organizations regain their focus on the delivery of customer value.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server

Antonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Apps Break Data

Ivo Velitchkov

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?
