Le futur du marketing révélé par l'étude "Marketing 2020"Christophe Robinet
Cette étude (document en Anglais) découle de 250 entretiens avec des CMO à l'international.
Le rôle du marketeur évolue puisque dans 58% des entreprises, il collabore étroitement avec la direction générale pour déterminer les priorités stratégiques de croissance, contre 38% en 2006.
L'enjeu d'intégration passe, selon les entretiens, par un "dé-silotage" de la structure pour repenser les compétences des équipes, dans un modèle 365/24/7, selon 3 axes : Think (marketing analytics), Feel (customer engagement), Do (content production).
L'étude révèle que les entreprises sur-performantes dans leur secteur investissent en moyenne 20% de plus que les autres dans le développement des compétences de leurs équipes.
Les challenges qui attendent les CMO dans le futur seraient : l'infobésité, le respect de la vie privée, la multiplication des points de contact et les silos.
Les entretiens d'une heure de plus de 250 CMO et marketers américains, français, britanniques, brésiliens, chinois, singapouriens, néerlandais, belges et allemands ont été compilés et 10 231 professionnels du marketing de 92 pays ont été interrogés.

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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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

Child rights recount
1. Bullying + Invasion of Privacy = TROUBLE!
By: Cherie Lynn Chung
I’m Ashleigh Gilberson and I am 13 years old. I just moved to
London from New York. I like it here except for one thing. I have a
story and it starts like this.
One year ago…
Last year on my birthday I finally turned 13 (a teenager!)
That meant I could get Facebook. I’d always wanted Facebook since
I was little. All my friends lied to get on Facebook but my mom said
that I had to turn 13 before I could a Facebook account.
That day, I made myself a Facebook account and started to
play with it. I wanted to add my best friend Olivia Spelton. I didn’t
know if she had Facebook or not, but I guessed she did, because
she was already 13 and a half. I searched her name and it came up.
I sent her a request and almost immediately she accepted
me. I squealed with excitement and started to chat with her.
I wrote: Hi! Remember wat day it is 2day? She typed back: Duh it’s
Tuesday. Is there anything wrong with ur brain? What? Olivia was always nice and
never said anything mean, even to her enemies.
Wats wrong? I typed. Why r u so mad? Olivia said she wasn’t mad but
then typed: I HATE U!!!
Ouch! That hurt really badly. I still couldn’t believe what I just
saw.
I turned of the computer and went to bed. I was so sad that I
didn’t even get up for dinner. I kept thinking isn’t it against the
child rights law to cyber bully? Then I started to cry.
The next day I couldn’t get up because I was crying the whole
night and I really didn’t want to go to school.
I go to Oakland’s Secondary School so it takes 30 minuets
just to walk to school. My mom dragged me out of bed and got me
dressed. I was so scared that Olivia would bully me at school that I
even pretended I was sick. It didn’t work though.
When I got to school, I saw Olivia and she smiled at me and
said hi. I avoided her the whole day and whenever she looked at
me, I looked away. I was afraid she’d start calling me names again.
The bullying online continued for weeks and I kept avoiding
Olivia. Finally one day, Olivia went up to me and asked “What did I
do wrong?” Olivia seemed nice enough so I told her everything.
“What!?” She exclaimed. “You know I would never say
something like that! Besides, I don’t even have Facebook.”
“You don’t?” I asked. I still wasn’t 100% convinced.
“Of course I don’t! I don’t even have time for Facebook”
2. “Then who was the person bullying me online? And why was
that person using your name?” I added.
“I don’t know,” said Olivia, “but I am going to solve this
mystery once and for all!” she shouted with enthusiasm.
I grinned. That's what the Olivia I knew sounded like.
That day after school, Olivia came to my house and I turned
on the computer. The person that was bullying me wasn’t online
yet. So I decided to check my email.
“Ash-leigh-Gil-ber-son-atgmail.com” I typed. Then something
terrible happened.
“What in the world? I can’t get on!” I screamed. Olivia came
running in.
“What's wrong? Oh no!” Olivia cried when she saw that
someone hacked my account.
I didn’t know what to do, so I ran out of the room crying.
Olivia got really mad and I heard her muttering something to
herself and she started typing.
I didn’t really care what she was doing so I went to the living
room and sat down quietly.
Before I knew it, I heard someone coming.
“It’s Ok, I took care of it,” someone said.
I turned to look at whom it was, and it was Olivia.
“Took care of what?” I asked quietly.
“The person that hacked your account. I searched Google on
what to do if someone hacked your account and I followed it.” Olivia
said softly.
I was really happy to have a friend like Olivia. Then I
remembered something.
“You still need to prove that you’re not the person that bullied
me on Facebook,” I said sharply.
“Yeah, Yeah whatever,” replied Olivia rolling her eyes.
Olivia and I went into my bedroom, turned on the computer
and logged into Facebook.
We waited and waited. Finally, “Olivia” logged on.
I looked at the real Olivia and she looked back at me.
Then the fake Olivia started to type.
Ugg, I don't get u! ur soooooo ugly and u won’t even try 2 fix it.
I looked at Olivia.
“Sorry I accused you,” I said apologetically.
Olivia smiled and said, “It’s Ok. I know it’s hard when people
bully you. Especially when you don’t know who it is,” Olivia then
said bravely, “Now all we have to do is to figure out who it is.”
Before Olivia could do anything, I stopped her.
“No, I don’t want to know who it is. I’ll just report the pretend
Olivia to Facebook and forget about it,” I said.
“But-” Protested Olivia.
3. “No buts.” I said. “I’m already happy enough that its not
you.”
Olivia smiled. “Yeah, let's just forget about all this,” and we
both laughed.
So, that’s my story. Looking back, it really doesn't seem like a
big deal. I should be grateful that it wasn’t my best friend bullying
me. That would be horrible. Even though we didn’t “solve” this
“mystery” I still was really happy. I now know that there are lots of
children around the world who don’t even know that computers
exist, and I should be thankful that I have a computer. I shouldn’t
be scared of bullies. All I have to do is ignore the people that bully
me and just continue my life. So, that was the end of the story.
(Not very pleasant right?)
The End
