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).

20. The View From Here
• Challenges in Recruitment
• Challenges in Training
• Challenges in Retention
21. The View From Here :
Challenges in Recruitment
• “An Invisible Industry” • Experience, training from other
industries
– Post WWII
• Certifications
• 1 in 4 employed
ISCET ETA
– Today
• nearing 1 in 40
NCSA/ESPA Microsoft
– “You do what? Where?
• Licensing
WHY?”
– FCC
– NEC
– Inside work
– Daylight hours
– Predictable work schedule
– Frequent relocation not
required
22. The View From Here :
Challenges in Recruitment (cont.)
• The work doesn’t “sell well”
– Outside, all times of day, all types of weather
– On call (sometimes 24 / 7 / 365)
– Versatility requirements
• Drive trucks
• Climb poles
How many willing and able to do all these?
• Dig trenches
• Read meters
• Shoot trouble
– Industries facing similar attrition issue
• Telcos
• Utilities
23. The View From Here :
Challenges in Training
• Railroad Signaling is unique
– No other electrical discipline quite like it
– Required 6-8 week apprenticeship training
– Some positions filled by people “off the street”
• Training Barriers (peers, supervisors)
– “It’s not my job to teach you yours!”
– “You knew that when you bid the job!”
• If I teach you what I know, they won’t need me!
• I don’t know myself, but I’m not telling YOU that!
– “Here’s the keys and cell phone--go get ‘em, killer!”
• Don’t get hurt!
• Don’t screw up!
24. The View From Here :
Challenges in Training (cont.)
• Training materials sparse
– Vendor manuals
• out of date
• too general
– Required 6-8 week apprenticeship training
– Some positions filled by “off the street” people
• Equipment vendors tech support of mixed quality
– “Like a box of chocolates…you never know what
you’re gonna get!”
– Really good techs are promoted or leave company
• Frequently encounter techs with little experience
• May turn out to be “page flippers”
25. The View From Here :
Challenges in Training (cont.)
• Classroom and field training shortcomings
– Timeliness
• Sometimes comes long before employee can apply knowledge
– “Use it or lose it!”
• Sometimes occurs after an employee needs it!
• Creates scheduling headaches for supervisors
– If maintainer, adjoining maintainers do at least 1-1/2 times more work
– Relief maintainer may be used, but only during non-vacation periods
– If gang job, may leave foreman short resources for key tasks
– Subject Matter
• Wide variety of signal circuits still in service
– Difficult, if not impossible to train on all types of equipment
– Obsolescence
• Changing technologies will require continual refresher courses in future
– Limitations of practicality
• Shortage of parts available to build reliable test/training systems
• How many maintainers CAN fit into an 8’x8’ house, anyway?
26. The View From Here :
Challenges in Training (cont.)
• “Non-traditional” training needs
– Not just “old heads”, but new hires too
– Computer technology
• High-speed Internet connectivity
• Email
• Acrobat
• “Dumb Terminal”
• Testing and recordkeeping
– Laptop
– PDA
– Database query
– Configuration Management
– Risk Assessment
– Defect Reporting
– Revision Control
– Validation/Verification
– Safety Plan (railroad, product)
27. The View From Here :
Challenges in Training (cont.)
• Training programs required by FRA for future implementations
– 49 CFR 236.921
• Training and qualification program, general
– 49 CFR 236.923
• Task analysis and basic requirements
– 49 CFR 236.925
• Training specific to control office personnel
– In conjunction with 49 CFR 217 requirements
– 49 CFR 236.927
• Training specific to locomotive engineers…
– In conjunction with 49 CFR 240 requirements
– 49 CFR 236.929
• Training specific to roadway workers
– In conjunction with 49 CFR 214 requirements
28. The View From Here :
Challenges in Retention
• Frequent relocation
– Craft
• Protecting seniority (forced to bid)
• Exercising seniority (“bumping”)
• Next job may be down the road or halfway across the country
• Distinct possibility of numerous relocations given low seniority
– Management
• Force-assigned as determined by carrier
• May be lateral move or punitive assignment
• Those with options may exercise them
– Back to the craft
– Pursue outside opportunities
29. The View From Here :
Challenges in Retention (cont.)
• “Where do you want to go today?”
– On the gang
• Variable work schedules from gang to gang
– 4 on / 3 off
– 8 on / 6 off
– 5 on / 2 off
• Possible drive up to 8-10 hours ONE WAY to reach hotel!
• Per diems may not account for high-cost areas
– Maintainer
• Frequently required to live within certain distance of territory
• UNPAID move may be required for family
• May elect to live in hotel or apartment, but meals and lodging
not always paid by carrier
30. The View From Here :
Challenges in Retention (cont.)
• “Pressure cooker” culture
– Fear
• Don’t get hurt
• Don’t screw up
• If you do either, you must have broken a rule!
• “Fair and impartial investigation”
– Frequently neither!
• Only guaranteed way to avoid is to do nothing!
– The Trouble Call
• Learn what you’re made of…best training on the planet
• Guaranteed to be during:
– Dead of night (“2 AM”)
» Blowing Snow
» Driving Rain
» Dense Fog
• Difficult to maintain family commitments
– Birthday parties
– Ball games
– Dance recitals
• Clinical studies underway regarding work-rest cycles and fatigue
31. The View From Here :
Challenges in Retention (cont.)
• “Pressure cooker” culture
– Relentless (24 x 7 x 365)
• Some in craft are salaried
• Having territory with lots of trouble calls pays same as one
with few
• Reliability of signal system frequently outside signal
department influence
– Soggy ballast (poor drainage)
– Insulated joint breakdown (bad ties)
– “track light on” or “island circuit down” (operating crew errors)
– Maintenance of systems not regulated by FRA eats up “time”
(yard switches, control panels)
• When systems in trouble, EVERYONE’s phone rings
– Job descriptions mean little
– Everyone with a truck who hasn’t “hog-lawed” is fair game
32. The View From Here :
Challenges in Retention (cont.)
• “Pressure cooker” culture
– The dreaded “efficiency test”
• Required by FRA
– Demonstrates rules compliance by labor
– Demonstrates rules enforcement by management
• Not fun for either party (usually)
– If used in wrong manner, promotes culture of fear
– Senior management sets ET quotas for front line supervisors
» Other responsibilities not mitigated
» Failure quotas not formalized, but do exist
» If everyone passes, then supervisor not doing job right
» But what if everyone is indeed working safe?
33. The View From Here :
Challenges in Retention (cont.)
