Recent presentation offering a broad introduction to to the digital age. Social media plays a key role in this PPT, but the real topic is networks and how individuals and organizations are seeking advantage through the wise use of networks.
Slightly updated for the end of 2015, these slides describe the How and Why of networks in the digital age. As I like to say, it is not about the shiny objects (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, or any other app). Thriving in a digital age means we need to understand how networks functions. Doing so allows us to plan our actions and communications more wisely.
Efficacy Regarding Social Media and Its Implications for NonProfit Agencies T...Angela Williamson
Twenty-one percent of Americans will be over the age of 65 by the year 2020 and understanding how to build relationships with older adults is becoming increasingly important. In this session I will provide tips for engaging seniors through social media.
MTV, in partnership with the Kaiser Family Foundation, recently launched Get Yourself Tested (GYT), a campaign designed to encourage young adults to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The campaign leverages Foursquare, a location-based service (LBS), to offer virtual badges to people who check in to the service at a health clinic and get tested for STDs. MTV’s intention to help destigmatize STD testing by encouraging young people to take control of their sexual health is commendable; however, the ramifications of publically broadcasting personal information via Foursquare must be considered. In addition, any company considering the use of Foursquare or another LBS should evaluate their target audience’s attitude about privacy.

_Cyberspace_ Security and Future Challenges in the Digital World.pdfmbmh111980
"Cyberspace: Security and Future Challenges in the Digital World" provides an insightful exploration of the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, examining current security measures and anticipating future challenges in an increasingly interconnected digital environment.
The following is a podcast for "Protecting Your Brand: The State of Social Infrastructure in The Enterprise." This webinar originially aired on September 30th, 2014. Listen to the recording to learn more:
Social media has quickly become the face of modern communications for organizations. It’s shifted from a branding, advertising, and research experiment to a rich, core communication channel for sales, recruiting, customer service, and marketing. While the blueprint has changed, few in the business can actually discern exactly what it looks like. That's because social media is an external communications channel. Unlike email and web communications that corporations, and particularly IT teams own and operate, social communications are only managed by marketing.
In this webinar, expert speakers will explore new research on the Fortune 500's social media accounts, including the accounts, applications, and tools they use to connect and communicate. From this research, other organizations can learn how to create and understand their social blueprint to better coordinate resources, reduce risk, and maximize social ROI. Specifically we’ll discuss:
· Social accounts, tools, and technology used by Fortune 500 companies
· Understanding your organization’s social communication infrastructure across the entire web
· Coordinating social media content review among marketing and legal/risk personnel
· Monitoring all brand-affiliated social media accounts for audit, protection, and compliance
· Building trust through social media security to maximize your social marketing strategy’s ROI
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.

Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
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.

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!

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.
