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.

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

So what is personal branding? It can be interpreted in a variety of different ways, but for today, it is... creating a consistent presence of yourself and your work and using this brand when communicating and networking with peers, colleagues, and others for professional growth YOU ARE ALREADY DOING IT! Things that are already in your personal branding toolkit include: - resume - business card - portfolio - blog or website - email address - even personal style! Communication through social media adds another layer to these things: - LinkedIn profile - Facebook - Twitter
Blog viewed 17,000 times in 2010 @libscenester = Klout score of 46 229 RSS subscribers in google reader Awesome? No, but it's a start. www.libraryscenester.wordpress.com
Personal branding has become more and more important in the digital age, as our interactions online leave almost indelible footprints-- often archived and instantly searchable. We've all heard the stories about someone talking about their boss on Facebook, posting inappropriate photos on Facebook, letting it leak on Twitter that their "sick day" was really just an excuse to sleep in.
EVERYONE DO THAT NOW, FOR REAL! - Ask them the kinds of things they found. Anything positive, negative, surprising? Why? To see what other people see, how you are perceived online. It is important because OTHER PEOPLE are googling you: - Students looking for research help! - Faculty members - Colleagues - Vendors - Future employers - Prospective employees Working strategically, you can control (somewhat) the information that shows up - or at least push GOOD information to the top. Personal branding can help you do that.
By building both personal and professional into your brand, you are sharing your passions in a genuine way. Some people choose to keep their personal and professional lives separate. Even having personal Facebook profiles for friends and family and another for networking. My personal belief is that the awesome comes in when the two overlap. But do whatever you are comfortable with. (image re-created by Erin Dorney, inspired by Ji Lee via SWISS MISS: http://www.swiss-miss.com/2011/04/that-sweet-spot.html)
Don’t be an island! Leverage social networks. Blog, Tumblr, Facebook or Twitter accounts are easy to set up. You can be on your way in less than 10 minutes. But it will take a lot more time than that, and personal branding requires a time commitment. Personal branding does not happen in a void - the whole nature of social media is collaborative and multifaceted. Some tangible steps you can take to integrate yourself into this network include: Visit and comment on other blogs, retweet content, and connect with others to avoid shameless self-promotion. Every time you do this, your exposure rate grows - more people click on your links and your brand becomes stronger. - Use consistent voice, image and persona across different platforms so that people can find you and you can grow your brand. It also helps you look genuine if you’re not completely different on Twitter or Facebook or on your blog.
Be genuine and professional at ALL times. Do not focus on the negative - what is the point? There is a difference between critiquing something with evidence and strategy and ranting about something that annoys you. Remember that online comments last forever and you never know how far networks expand.
If they are saying good things, you want to know about it and continue that conversation, who knows where it will lead? If they are saying bad things, you want to remedy the situation, do a little damage control or spin. Monitoring is easy and there are a lot of programs out there that can help you: Create Google Alerts for your name/brand: http://www.google.com/alerts RSS feeds of advanced Twitter search: Visit http://search.twitter.com/advanced, create searches for your name and other keywords, click on the RSS icon to create and send a feed for each search to your Google Reader. Icerocket Blog Search: http://www.icerocket.com/ Socialmention: http://www.socialmention.com/ Pretty cool - mentions your top keywords, top users (people who reply or mention you), sentiment (positive, negative, and neutral posts), top hashtags, average minutes per mention across the web, time of last mention, etc. Can create RSS feeds/alerts. Topsy Social Analytics: http://analytics.topsy.com/ Klout: http://klout.com/ measurement of your overall online influence identifies influencers on topics across the social web” by assigning a Klout score which is calculated using dozens of variables culled from your social media profiles and interactions it gives you a matrix of your reach, amplification, etc. Measuring these things gives you a benchmark to see if your personal branding efforts are improving. It’s also good to know what people are saying about you so that you can manage your presence and make it work for your purposes, whatever they may be (finding a job, securing a speaking gig, etc). Follow. Engage. Share. Those are KEY.
Try not to focus your entire personal brand around your current job. How will you maintain your brand once your job changes? If you focus your brand on your professional interests and passions instead of your job title or workplace, you will be able to take it with you from institution to institution. Transferability of your personal brand is very important because basically what you’re doing is building relationships - that takes time and you don’t want to have to start over from scratch just because you narrowed your scope too much from the get-go.
Some people are turned off from the whole idea of identity management because “branding” brings to mind selling and PR spinning. Do what you are comfortable with - choose a platform that works for your needs. This also goes for posting frequency, regardless of what platform you select: Find your personal comfort zone on frequency of updating. Posting too often may cause your supervisor or future employer to wonder when you find the time to do your work. If you are posting links every few minutes, others may wonder if you ever read what you repost. It goes back to being genuine. You need to find a balance that works for you. If it’s not comfortable and authentic, people will know, it will feel forced and it won’t work.
Have everyone take a notecard. SECRETLY write down three words that define you. DONT SHOW ANYONE! TRY TO DISGUISE YOUR HANDWRITING! Erin collect them all and shuffle, then redistribute. NOW, you need to talk to other people in the room and try to find out WHOSE NOTECARD YOU HAVE. BUT!!!! You cannot use any of the words that are written on the card. You need to gain other clues to figure this out. GO! Talk about this activity. different ways to describe what defines you, that is the voice of your personal brand.
