Virtualization helps companies address address specific business needs:
More secure access to data/organizational resources
Compliance with industry regulations (i.e. FSI, healthcare, government)
An increasingly elastic workforce (i.e. mergers/acquisitions, short-term employees, contractor/partner access)
Employee-specific needs (i.e. BYOD or mobile staff, call centers, branch workers)
Specialized workloads (i.e. design/engineering, legacy apps, software dev test)
Windows Virtual Desktop helps:
Employees stay as productive with a virtualized experience on a PC, phone, tablet, or browser as they are with a physical PC sitting right in front of them
Simplify management, provisioning, and access to corporate data and apps
Support customers as they migrate to the cloud
Reduce the costs and resources associated with managing on-premises infrastructure
Empower IT to transform the workplace

Business executive leadership, who typically drive the need for BI solutions, are primarily focused on the end user aspect of BI: OLAP reporting and dashboards. However it is vital for businesses to understand that ETL, Integration, Data Modeling, and Data Warehousing form the cornerstones of a successful BI solution. The time and energy spent on selecting an enterprise ETL solution along with designing finely tuned and highly performing ETL processes will ultimately produce “clean” data ready to be consumed by the business. Traditionally, ETL Tools have been extremely expensive, and some of them still are. While these tools have superb functionality and support, the question remains, “does every organization need all the functionality they provide or are there cheaper alternatives that would do the job just as well?”

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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:
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

SSISUnitTesting
BIxPressBestPracticesAnalyzer
SSIS2012CatalogImport
Unit testing allows developers, users, and package lifecycle administrators to ensure that a package
is performing exactly what the developer implemented and handling unexpected circumstances with
predefined behavior. Unit testing allows specified inputs to be used as “source” data and evaluates the
task output with expected task output thereby ensuring the package behaves correctly.
The initial phase implementation of the Best Practices analyzer
allows users to investigate SSIS packages for adherence to best
practices as defined by Pragmatic Works. These best practices
analyzer can investigate packages for violations of various severities
such as “Warning”, “Error”, “Performance”, and “Informational”.
The best practices analyzer can be started via a command line,
within Pragmatic Workbench, or SSDT 2012 for SSIS 2012 packages.
The new BI xPress SSIS 2012 Catalog Import feature allows
organizations import native SSIS 2012 Catalog logging data
into the BI xPress repository. Users can then view their
packages within BI xPress’ SSIS Monitoring Console just as if
they had instrumented their packages with BI xPress’ Auditing
Framework. Quite simply, users no longer have to invasively
alter their SSIS packages just to view them like they would
within SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). Also, users can schedule
the new SSIS 2012 Catalog Import feature to import data at
regular intervals so they can “set-it-and-forget-it” and watch
packages appear in the SSIS Monitoring Console.”
