The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Implementation Groups
The CIS Controls are internationally recognized
for bringing together expert insight about
threats, business technology, and defensive
options into an effective, coherent, and simpler
way to manage an organization’s security
improvement program. But in our experience
organizations of every size and complexity still
need more help to get started, and to focus their
attention and resources.
To that end, we first took a “horizontal” look
across all of the CIS Controls and identified a
core set of Sub-Controls that organizations with
limited resources and limited risk exposure
should just do. We call this set Implementation
Group (IG) 1. These provide effective security
value with technology and processes that are
generally already available, while providing a
basis for more tailored and sophisticated action if
that is warranted. Building upon Implementation
Group 1, we then identified an additional set
of Sub-Controls for organizations with more
resources and expertise, but also greater risk
exposure. This is Implementation Group 2.
Finally, the rest of the Sub-Controls make up
Implementation Group 3.
These Implementation Groups provide a simple
and accessible way to help organizations of
different classes focus their scarce security
resources, and still leverage the value of
the CIS Controls program, community, and
complementary tools and working aids.
V7.1
1 2 3
Definitions
Implementation Group 1
CIS Sub-Controls for small, commercial off-the-shelf or
home office software environments where sensitivity of
the data is low will typically fall under IG1. Remember,
any IG1 steps should also be followed by organizations
in IG2 and IG3.
Implementation Group 2
CIS Sub-Controls focused on helping security teams
manage sensitive client or company information
fall under IG2. IG2 steps should also be followed by
organizations in IG3.
Implementation Group 3
CIS Sub-Controls that reduce the impact of zero-day
attacks and targeted attacks from sophisticated
adversaries typically fall into IG3. IG1 and IG2
organizations may be unable to implement all IG3
Sub-Controls.
