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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Cambridgeshire and two years later he carried
his bat in an innings against Leceistershire for

the person who could never achieve even a
fraction of the fame in cricket that he

In the mid 19th Century, during a boxing match,
sponges were a common ringside accessory.
When a boxer was too beaten up to continue
fighting, his manager would hand him a sponge
with which to mop up his face and other
injuries. Sponges soon gave way to something
else, and this gave rise to an idiom.
What idiom?
27. 5.
Gumnami Baba lived at Ram Bhavan in Faizabad,
Uttar Pradesh, at around 1985. He was popularly
perceived to be an alias for someone else, who was
assumed dead. The Justice Mukherjee Commission
of Inquiry was formed to look into the matter, and it
held that the Baba was not the person people
perceived him to be, for want of clinching evidence.
However, it did not completely deny it either, saying
there was a similarity in the handwriting. Who is
the person who was assumed to be dead?
29. 6.
Kaspar Hauser was a German who lived for
around twenty years in the nineteenth century.
He carried a letter in 1828, which said he had to

repeated in fiction, and has had claims of having
happened in reality. What phenomenon?

The New Journal of Physics, in an edition
published a year ago, had an article by Dr. David
Quere and Dr. Clanet about a certain event in
1997, which was supposed to have âdefied
physicsâ. The article said that the phenomenon
was perfectly in consonance with the laws of
physics, explaining it, and saying that its âsnail
shelled trajectoryâ helped it, and that it could be
repeated again. What am I talking about?
37. 10.
In 1996, Alan Sokal, a physics professor at NYU,
submitted an article called "Transgressing the
Boundaries: Towards a Transformative
Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravityâ to an academic
journal called Social Text. This episode is now referred
to as the Sokal affair. What did Alan Sokal do, that
reflected so badly on the journal?
38. Sokalâs article was a hoax.
The whole thing was an experiment to test the
publication's intellectual rigor and, specifically,
to investigate whether such a journal would
"publish an article liberally salted with nonsense
if it (a) sounded good and (b) flattered the
editors' ideological preconceptions."
40. Countries with more than one capital
Benin, Bolivia, Chile, Cote dâIvoire, Malaysia,
South Africa, Sri Lanka, Swaziland, Tanzania,

was commonly known as the X. In 2002, the Y
Group became the title sponsor, but chose to
retain X as part of the title. So this entity is now
known as the YX.
X and Y?
53. 13.
The nomenclature of this novel has more than one
explanation according to fans. The titular character
in his childhood was said to have nearly drowned in
a river, but was saved by a mysterious
woman, believed to be the spirit of the river. The
epithet that arose after this incident is said to be
the reason behind the novel. Another explanation is
that the title of the novel refers to the author
himself, as many instances in the work are inspired
by real life occurrences in his life. Name the novel.
54. Ponniyin Selvan.
Meaning âThe Son of Ponniâ. The mysterious
woman is said to be Kaveri/Ponni (a tributary of
the river). Kalki Krishnamurthyâs father, a
munsif, was called Ponni Iyer by those who
knew him.
55. 14.
This was a popular riddle in the early 19th
century, whose answer is so well known today
that it is no longer asked as a riddle, but taught
to children as a rhyme. There are theories that
the title character of the rhyme is slang for a
drink of brandy, and that it refers to King Richard
III of England. However, the title character is
mostly commonly portrayed as a/an ____, which
is mentioned nowhere in the rhyme, but is in
fact the answer to the riddle.
57. 15.
⢠In mid-2010, San Francisco- based X hired Davis Elen
Advertising to plan their marketing campaign. As part
of this, the firm stuck fake $25,000 bills advertising Xâs
product âY: Las Vegasâ on the sidewalks of San
Francisco. This âguerilla marketingâ attempt drew flak
from the city attorneyâs office, who deemed it an
âillegal and actionable marketing techniqueâ. The
advertising company, however, took full responsibility
for the campaign, and Xâs online popularity remained
intact.
⢠X and Y?

When this film released in 1972, numerous real
life acts of violence in Britain were attributed to
it by perpetrators and their lawyers. Thus the
filmâs director asked the production house to
withdraw the film from the country, and it was
not shown in Britain legally for the next 27 years,
until the directorâs death. After his death, it came
to light that in addition to the negative publicity,
the directorâs family had received death threats
following its release.
Name the film and its director.

64. These are the only five people to win acting
Oscars for non-English speaking roles.
65. 19.
This author has written over 30 plays, 4
screenplays, numerous short story, Punch
articles and poem collections before one
particular work of his in a different genre
altogether, overshadowed the rest of his oeuvre.
Its roaring success was resented not only by
him, but by the person who served as
inspiration for this work as well. His later works
were panned, as one critic mentioned, his lead
characters were merely â_____ grown upâ.

Kamini Kaushal is an Indian actress who won the
Filmfare Award for Best Actress in 1955 for her

statuette, first designed by N.G. Phansare along
with ToIâs Walter Langhammer.
70. These are tactics against a hostile takeover of
one company by another. Will explain.
71. 22.
The name of this band stems from a conversation
among its band members where they said that a
supergroup containing themselves would go down
like a â____ balloonâ, a British idiom for disastrous
results. The first word of the idiom dropped a letter
to avoid mispronunciation, and the second word
was changed to a synonym for a large balloon. Its
members felt the name struck the right balance
between âheavy and light, combustibility and graceâ.
Name the band.
73. 23.
The caduceus is the staff of the Roman God
Mercury, the messenger of the Gods and the
protector of merchants, gamblers, liars and thieves.
Consequently, it has connotations involving
commerce, negotiation and money-making. It is
also used as a symbol representing printing, as an
offshoot of Mercuryâs skills in writing and
eloquence. However, today the symbol is most
recognized in another field, mistaken for another
ancient symbol, the rod of Asclepius. Which field do
we associate the caduceus with today?
91. These are all movies of the âfound footageâ
genre, where is film is presented as being
true, pieced together from purportedly
discovered film and video recordings.
