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
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.

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).

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!

26. Entropy There are two natural tendencies behind spontaneous processes: the tendency to achieve a lower energy state and the tendency toward a more disordered state
27. The greater the number of configurations of the microscopic particles (atoms, ions, molecules) among the energy levels in a particular state of a system, the greater the entropy of the system

34. Electron Density in Water Molecule Notice the electron density is greater around the oxygen. The electrons are more likely to be found around the oxygen atom than the hydrogen atom
37. Notice the polar covalent bonds are shorter (and thus stronger) than the dipole-dipole attractions.
38.
39. Surface Tension in Water is the result of dipole-dipole attractions That’s why the bug can walk on top of the water. The water molecules are attracted to each other
48. Calorimetry Calorimetry is a technique used to measure heat exchange in chemical reactions A calorimeter is the device used to make heat measurements EOS Calorimetry is based on the law of conservation of energy

52. Rules for Zeros in Significant Figures Zeros between two other significant digits ARE significant e.g., 1 00 23 A zero preceding a decimal point is not significant e.g., 0.1 00 23 EOS Zeros between the decimal point and the first nonzero digit are not significant e.g., 0.001 00 23
53. Rules for Zeros in Significant Figures Zeros at the end of a number are significant if they are to the right of the decimal point e.g., 0.1 00 23 00 1 0 23. 00 EOS Zeros at the end of a number may or may not be significant if the number is written without a decimal point e.g., 1 000 . compared to 1000
54. Rules for Significant Figures in Calculations KEY POINT: A calculated quantity can be no more precise than the least precise data used in the calculation … and the reported result should reflect this fact EOS Analogy: a chain is only as strong as its weakest link
55. Significant Figures in Calculations EOS 0.762 has 3 sigfigs so the reported answer is 1.39 m 2
56. Significant Figures in Calculations Addition and Subtraction: the reported results should have the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places EOS NOTE - Be cautious of round-off errors in multi-step problems. Wait until calculating the final answer before rounding.

82. VAPORIZATION- Molecules escape the liquid and move into the gas CONDENSATION- Molecules in the gas collide with liquid and stay in liquid
83. Only water molecules on the surface with enough KE to break dipole-dipole attractions can escape
84.
85. Measuring Vapor Pressure Vacuum- no particles in the gas. Liquid vaporizes Proceeds to equilibrium Particles that have escaped from the liquid exert pressure to hold up the column of mercury
86. Vapor Pressure Molecules of the liquid escape the liquid and move into the gas. The molecules collide with the square. This is vapor pressure.
89. Rate Time Vaporization H 2 O(l) H 2 O(g) Rate decreases Condensation H 2 O(g) H 2 O(l) Rate increases More particles in gas Equilibrium Rates Equal # molecules in gas stays constant
90.
91.
92. Vapor Pressure and Temperature At a higher temperature, more molecules escape the liquid, thus the vapor pressure is higher
93.
94.
95.
96. Boiling- large bubbles form within the liquid Bubbles can only form when the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to outside air pressure Vapor pressure within the bubble keeps the bubble from collapsing
97. In the vacuum, when air particles are removed the outside pressure decreases and water will boil at much lower temperature. The vapor pressure in the bubble will not need to increase as high to equal the outside pressure the water will boil at a lower temperature
