The document discusses how IT governance can help solve the problems caused by organizational "silos" by promoting collaboration between business units and IT. IT governance establishes a process that brings together business and IT experts to communicate, align goals, share risks, prioritize projects, and make joint decisions. This helps ensure IT expenditures deliver business value by overcoming the isolation of separate business units working independently without coordination.

Your Leadership Brand - The CIO as Business Strategist driving innovation
When CIOs think like business strategists, they shift from primarily managing technology projects to become highly business relevant. The ability of CIOs to successfully make this shift is key to underpinning the transformation of IT within the organisation. This transformation is critical to organisations that are looking for ways of driving innovation and entrepreneurship within the IT group, which in turn drives sustainable business value. The role of the CIO is at the core of this transformation.
In this engaging and practical session, Rob Livingstone provides valuable insights on how organisations and CIOs alike can ensure this transition is made successfully, and rapidly.

Why the systemic risks in Enterprise Cloud Computing could cripple your busin...Livingstone Advisory
Organisations that have successfully implemented standalone cloud systems may feel that they have won the war against complex and expensive enterprise IT. That feeling may not last too long once these systems need to be integrated with other systems, cloud or otherwise. The minute you start integrating your cloud with these other systems, you have what is termed a Hybrid Cloud.
Your IT risks are now becoming systemic risks – a point not lost in the most recent KPMG 2012 Audit Institute Report which identified “IT Risk & Emerging Technologies” as the second highest concern for 2012
In this presentation, Rob Livingstone, suggests some practical approaches that CEOs, COOs and CFOs should be considering in the identification and mitigation of the pitfalls of Cloud computing in the enterprise.

Where worlds collide: Agile, Project Management, Risk and Cloud?Livingstone Advisory
The new CIO is expected to be truly agile, deliver transformational value using new technology based services and have a deep understanding of, and engagement with the business – all whilst managing and mitigating risks. In addition to this, the CIO is also expected to be a ‘business partner’ in the real sense of the word. On top of these factors, Cloud is often seen in the eyes of business as a metaphor for timely change, and a convenient ‘get out of jail’ card in their push to lower IT cost, and collapse IT project lead times.
In this context, ensuring the effective orchestration if the various ‘best practice’ methodologies and frameworks in the areas of agile application development, project management and risk management, all whilst managing the whole ‘Cloud’ discussion is not a trivial task.
In this presentation, Rob Livingstone explores the key systemic and technical risks associated with the concurrent adoption and management of agile application development methodologies, project management, hybrid cloud and mobile devices within the enterprise in today’s volatile environment.

A common misconception is that IT Governance is only for big enterprises. Cloud computing and the increasing pervasive use of technology in the workplace requires that smaller organizations take a more strategic and risk-aware approach to managing their technology and business information. Attend this session to learn how to apply IT governance principles and practices to smaller not-for-profit organizations to help develop your IT strategy, manage your IT risk, and enable better business decisions through information.

Summary
Over the past ten years, scores of Fortune 1000 organizations have felt the pain associated with introducing a new technology in their organizations. From ERP to CRM, these applications
have streamlined data and processes for companies, but have certainly taken a toll as well.
Executive sponsors aren’t always involved as they need to be, and a significant number of individuals within most organizations are resistant to these new applications. Our experts discuss how coaching can help.
Topics covered range from recommendations on how coaches can partner with executives, stakeholders, and project managers throughout an implementation, to the competencies
required to successfully manage the change resulting from the introduction of a new application.

Is implementing ITIL really simple? It is easy to hear about ITIL from a consultant or read from a blog or even attend an ITIL course, but the hardest part comes while implementing those processes in an environment. Each and every organization is different; they vary with people, processes, environment, type of support they provide, help desk and much more. This white paper is intended to help the IT managers to self assess their help desk and its maturity level in order to implement the right process at the right time.

Don't Be So Humble; You're Not That Great _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs.pdfAndy (Avraham) Blumenthal
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Judaism teaches that our mission in life is to connect to G-d, the source of all. In connecting to the source, we are supposed to empty ourselves of vanity and materialism so that we can be filled with the Divine holiness.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Right now, hate-filled anarchists, Marxists, and radicals are foaming and frothing at the mouth, very sure of themselves, and giving phony press conferences, posting “legal observers,” and surrounding and terrorizing innocent people, while the authorities and law enforcement seem to do little to nothing.
Every one of these bad actors has had their fun and lived out their fantasy of independence and “saving the world” (not!) and now it is time when they will pay the piper for their knowing misdeeds. The parents, institutions, “professors,” and our politicians need to wake up now, restore truth and order, and salvage what is left of the shattered credibility and lives of these unfortunate and misguided souls.
America Is the Target; Israel Is the Front Line _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs...Andy (Avraham) Blumenthal
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: This is not about free speech but about a takeover of America. These vile terrorist supporters are using our very Constitution against us as they falsely cry Islamophobia and free speech, all the while impeding, threatening, and committing acts of violence against students, citizens, and an orderly democracy. It is time for Americans to stop being complacent or fooled by their terrorist talking points and rhetoric of hate, racism, and Communist ideology. In the face of this evil, we are finally seeing Patriots emerge, proudly carrying and defending the American flag, singing the Star-Spangled Banner, and boldly chanting USA!
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: On college campuses across America, why do we hear "free Palestine" but not "free Ukraine" when the Ukrainian issue is so much larger and more deadly?
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: This year at Passover seder, I had the privilege to sit next to an elderly Jewish lady, whom I’ll call Esther. We sat together at a Chabad seder, and on the wall next to us was a beautiful painting of the Rebbe.
My wife and I were spellbound by his lifelike holy image, especially his knowing, piercing blue eyes. In fact, we joked that it would be funny if the eyes started to move back and forth in the painting. Esther, who was sitting directly next to me, overheard us and proceeded to tell me some amazing stories about the Rebbe, which I am pleased to be able to share with all of you.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: We have all been following the horrific news and video clips coming out of our American universities of blatant antisemitism coupled with intimidation, harassment, barring of access, and violence from Hamas terrorist protesters against Jewish students and faculty under the false guise of blaring calls for Palestinian freedom “from the river to the sea.”
As our enemies gleefully chant, “There is only one solution, intifada revolution” and “by any (violent, abhorrent) means necessary,” we must answer with our “one solution” and that is to hold accountable the corrupt and even criminal institutions and leadership that are openly permitting this to occur.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Modern-day anti-Semitism has taken the form of pro-Hamas supporters on our campuses and in our cities who pretend that they are fighting against colonialism and an occupation of Palestine. They strategically disguise their Jew-hatred by falsely portraying themselves as the victims of oppression. Instead of showing themselves as the vile racists that they are, they attempt to hide as wolves in sheep's clothing. They do this to try and get the world's sympathy and take the mantle of morality and legitimacy through lies and distortion. In so doing, they can call for resistance, intifada, and jihad, and "by any (murderous and abhorrent) means necessary," all the while pretending to be virtuous.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: One of the great issues in dealing with life is what happens when we die. Is it “game over” and we are gone for good, or as Jews we believe that while our bodies die, our souls live on in eternity with Hashem. However, another scenario to deal with is if we still have imperfections that we need to work on, does G-d bring us back again through the reincarnation of our souls (“Gilgul Neshamot”) to continue the process of learning, growth, and perfecting ourselves?
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Day after day, week after week now, we see the vile Hamas terrorist supporters acting out in public, screaming, cursing, threatening, blocking, harassing, burning flags, pushing, prodding, and violently attacking others (i.e., Zionists and Jews). In any normal situation, the police would be there protecting the innocent, stopping the harassment, and arresting the violent agitators. But these days, what do we see? The police seem to be doing virtually nothing to stop them.
Without any serious consequences from our law enforcement, courts, or politicians, we can expect things to continue to escalate and get more dangerous.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Since October 7, it has become almost a daily chorus by Hamas and their supporters around the world condemning Israel for “occupation.” However, if you really examine the facts, it becomes clear that the word occupation is nothing more than propaganda and a tool of radical Islam for hate, intifada, jihad, and terrorism.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: There are countless shakeups and wake-up calls of life that span from small to large crises that test our faith and ability to cope. In whatever circumstances we find ourselves, it's not about escaping from the difficulties, but finding G-d even when he seems absent or hidden from us. G-d is there, and so is a path toward overcoming the challenges, sanctifying our lives, and finding our meaning and significance.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Tick-tock.
The days are, oh, so long.
The years of the past now seem so short.
I am waiting for salvation.
In my heart, I pray over and over:
“Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d,
King of the Universe,
Who sets free those in bonds.”
I know you are coming to rescue me.
I am waiting for you.
The Topsy Turvy World of Baby Killers and Nazis _ Andy Blumenthal _ The Blogs...Andy (Avraham) Blumenthal
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: One of the toughest things to bear is when our enemies hypocritically use psychological projection and try to turn the tables, calling us "Baby Killers," "Rapists," and "Nazis," when this is exactly the criminal behavior that the Hamas terrorists perpetrated at the October 7 massacre in Southern Israel.
For Israel, it's as if being barbarically attacked and victimized with the rape and mutilation of women, beheadings and burnings of babies, and murders and abductions of young and old aren't enough. But then to suffer the grotesque turning of reality on its head by having the perpetrators of these crimes call you out as the aggressor is beyond imagination.
As we approach the Jewish holiday of Purim, we have to maintain our ultimate faith in the Almighty that those corrupt evildoers who seek our destruction "by any means necessary" will ultimately themselves face justice like the evil Haman (perhaps the forefather of Hamas).
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: What blind love and hate do have in common is an irrational mob mentality that destroys one's ability to think rationally and morally. When you either deprive people of real information and outside perspectives, brainwash them, or create a sense of baseless fear and anger, you can bring out a real destructive side of humanity that borders on the psychotic and sociopathic. Thus, when people get back to their family, friends, and "real life," similar to when Hitler was killed and the Nazis and their propaganda machine were defeated, then perspective and normalcy could return. This is why it's so important to fight the fake news and brainwashing that are so prevalent right now.
In the end, love is not actually blind, but hate most certainly is completely blind, deaf, and utterly dumb.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Foes are turned into friends.
Families grow rather than attend early funerals.
Communities bustle and prosper rather than lie as dying evacuated ghost towns.
We all become part of a community of nations working to solve life's biggest problems, instead of planning how to maim and kill each other with greater pinpoint accuracy and effect.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: We know that Israel wants more than anything to live in peace and that they have tried virtually everything to make peace with their neighbors, including multiple offerings of a state for the Palestinians (and even giving in to practically their every demand, often to the Israelis own detriment), only to meet with one repeated rejection after another reiterating the Arab League's Khartoum Resolution: "no peace with Israel, no negotiation with Israel, and no recognition of Israel."
After October 7, the deadly abuse absolutely could not continue any longer.
There is a time to walk away and a time for necessary action.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: While there are many factors that contribute to our national success, certainly if we are going to be able to confront the challenges we face both at home and abroad, we must have strong and courageous leadership. Not only to unite us but also to evoke our very best, we need leadership that commands respect from both left and right, with a mighty and passionate vision that moves us not only to farseeing human progress but equally to moral righteousness. With this, we can instill pride in both who we are and where we are going and not be in fear of what’s threatening our streets or our shores anymore.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: In my opinion, the only tactical way to rescue the hostages is to locate and map the tunnel they are hiding in and then gas them all to sleep. The gas would need to be carefully regulated so as not to alert the terrorists that it is being used and not to harm the hostages. The gas needs to be odorless and colorless (like nitrous oxide) to camouflage its use, and the Israeli commandos will need to be hairpin-ready to blow the blast doors and get in to rescue the hostages.
Article in The Times of Israel by Andy Blumenthal: Everything that happens in this world has not only a physical dimension but a spiritual one as well. Our very existence is a combination of body and soul, so naturally they work together in tandem. And our physical well-being must be matched by our spiritual alignment with God.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
