UID 2015 Presentation - Online Marketing - Where's it going? How to win.Brian Bluff
Since the late 1990’s, manufacturers and distributors have witnessed a tremendous change in marketing technology (search, social, email, etc.). Those that embraced the change have reaped the rewards, and those that ignored it struggle to exist.
But now, this technology, which provided early adaptors a leg up, has changed again and many manufacturers and distributors have seen their hard fought gains evaporate.
Today Google’s ranking preference for big brands and sites with rich high-quality content, coupled with the social platforms tightening up of organic (non-paid) reach in pursuit of viable “pay for play” revenue models favor large sites/companies and threatens the traditional distributor model.
Building a simple website and tweeting a few times does not constitute a good online strategy. Today online marketing is traditional marketing, strategy is more important than ever, and developing a solid comprehensive plan is the way forward. But where is it all going? When does marketing revolution become evolution?
This session will explore where we are now, what’s coming next, and how to prepare your company to compete in 2015 and beyond. You’ll learn what content prospects and customers want, how to measure success, and how to get started.

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).
