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!

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.
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.

Corporate Brief
Executive Summary
Citrix is focused on delivering solutions to make the world’s data and applications
secure and easy to access. Anytime. Anywhere. And on any device or network.
Our mission is to power a world where people, organizations and things are securely
connected and accessible, so our customers can make the extraordinary possible.
We will do this by building the world’s best integrated technology services for secure
delivery of apps and data—anytime, anywhere, as a service in the Citrix Cloud.
The Digital Imperative
The world is experiencing what some call the Fourth Industrial Revolution. A new era
where physical and digital worlds are converging. Where everything is connected.
The pace of change is exponential. And the possibilities for improving how we work
and live are limitless.
Digital transformation is occurring in every industry. Innovative organizations are
now able to harness the power of digital insights and technology-powered processes
to disrupt and dominate long-standing industries and change how we shop, access
information and engage in business processes. We are witnessing how upstarts and
established firms in nearly every industry—from transportation to hospitality to
financial services—are using digital technologies to challenge centuries-old beliefs,
operating models and even regulations.
All of this change and all of this opportunity is being fueled by unprecedented adoption
and convergence of mobile, cloud, big data analytics and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Citrix Strategy
Crisis of Complexity and Cyber Security
At the same time, organizations are struggling with technological complexity,
heterogeneity and information overload. Businesses have spent years building
unique operating models, investing in countless systems, platforms, and devices
and then deeply customizing it all.
All this legacy, highly customized architecture is anchoring organizations to
the past. And that's making it difficult to adopt new innovations, devices and
platforms needed to move business forward. It’s also creating new challenges
for IT departments that must manage and secure it all.
An increasing number of workloads are becoming mobile. A dizzying number of new
devices and endpoints are being put into use. Growing volumes of business data and
apps are being accessed across a host of networks within and outside IT’s control.
In addition, concerns about security are top of mind for every organization
today. And the pressures of the multitude of devices, endpoints and networks are
straining the limits of existing infrastructures and calling into question traditional
device- or network-centric security approaches, which can’t keep pace with the
new devices, application platforms and networks being introduced. And less than
half of organizations say they are prepared to keep up with the new security threats
of today, let alone meet the demands and the pace of change of tomorrow.
Citrix: The Answer
At Citrix, we believe there is a better way to
power the digital enterprise. A better way to
ensure your organization and your infrastructure
can confidently scale for the future. A better way
to ensure reliable access to your apps and data
anywhere, on any device, across any platform
and in any cloud. And—most importantly—a
better way to secure it all.
Our mission is to power a world where people,
organizations and things are securely connected
and accessible, so that you can make the
extraordinary possible. We are committed to reimagining how the world works and
to empowering people to work and live better. We will accomplish this by building
the world’s best integrated technology services for secure delivery of apps and data
anytime, anywhere.
We’ve spent the past few years consolidating infrastructure, integrating our
solutions, and enhancing product performance and scalability. And we are now
well-positioned to secure and deliver apps, data and networks—all from a single
and integrated platform. In short, the investments and innovations we’ve made
in workspace services, networking and secure file sharing are better together.
3. 3citrix.com
The following sections explore the core strategies that will enable Citrix to realize
our vision:
• Become the leader in Workspace as a Service (WaaS) by delivering the industry’s
most comprehensive and integrated platform for secure app, data and network
delivery as a cloud-based service.
• Reinforce our leadership and growth in application delivery, virtualization
and mobility.
• Gain a clear leadership position for secure network delivery solutions to enterprises,
mid-market and strategic service providers.
• Become the preferred and most-used solution for Enterprise File Synchronization
and Sharing (EFSS) for business users across all segments.
Leading WaaS with the Citrix Cloud
Securing the world’s data requires a new and holistic approach that can securely
deliver and manage all apps, data, devices and networks from a single integrated
platform. This unified approach will give workers reliable access and seamless
experience across all their devices while maintaining the flexibility to adopt new
innovations without disrupting legacy systems. In short, IT can help reimagine the
way the world works.
We believe the concept of “work” is undergoing a major shift from a physical
workplace to an aggregated workspace, where experience, flexibility, identity and
security are central. The workplace of the future is not any one physical or virtual
construct. Work is increasingly digital and virtual. To be productive, workers must
have access and seamless user experience across all devices and platforms.
We believe the workspace of the future will be a cloud-delivered conduit to individual
productivity, and its success will be measured by its ability to seamlessly weave
a secure, integrated, highly configurable, unified experience across devices, feeds,
applications, identities and services regardless of who or what generated the data.
Citrix will meet the needs of the future of work by delivering the industry’s most
comprehensive and integrated platform for secure app, data and network
delivery—all as a cloud-based service. Through the Citrix Cloud, we will become
the leading provider of WaaS, delivering a single point of entry that governs
authentication across all application and data sources and to any digital asset
that is required for the end user to be productive.
Delivering WaaS through the Citrix Cloud will give end users a consistent, consumerized
experience across all their apps and data in a single portal, regardless of device used
or where the apps and data reside.
Citrix Strategy
4. 4citrix.com
The Citrix Cloud will also dramatically simplify infrastructure management by
empowering IT to:
• Easily and rapidly configure and deliver workspaces to uniquely meet the needs
of given functions, roles or vertical segments.
• Flexibly integrate apps and data across any cloud, platform or device.
• Set and monitor access, security and data sovereignty rules across their entire
infrastructure.
• Monitor and manage all corporate apps, data and networks through a unified
control console.
With Citrix Cloud, organizations will have peace of mind, knowing that all of it is
secure, reliable and delivered at the lowest TCO. This flexibility gives enterprises
the power to manage their infrastructure their way, and gives SMBs access to a
secure delivery infrastructure that can scale with their business needs. And we
will continue to support the true hybrid- and multi-cloud choice our customers
demand. Citrix offers customers choice, delivering all this capability on-premises
or as a cloud-based service via the Citrix Cloud.
Driving Value with Virtualization and Mobility
Having helped pioneer the virtualization and mobility management segments,
Citrix will continue to focus intensely on this broader market, which we now define
as Workspace Services, that includes virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), remote
desktop session host (RDSH), application virtualization, client virtualization, virtual
client computing (VCC), mobile device management (MDM), mobile application
management (MAM), enterprise mobility management (EMM) and related
technologies. It is also often called the End-User Computing (EUC) market,
combining desktop and mobile technologies.

We are driving rapid innovation in our app delivery products, as well as enhancing
their value as an integrated delivery system for all apps—iOS, Android, web, SaaS
and Windows. Our solutions are differentiated through depth of functionality, a
superior user experience across the portfolio, as well as flexibility and choice for
IT. We also leverage extensive strategic relationships with our partners, including
Microsoft, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Fujitsu and others with large tech
ecosystems, for the benefit of our customers. Key initiatives in this area include:
• Leverage enterprise ecosystems—Our Microsoft focus includes Windows 10
support for rapid customer migrations, Day 1 support for Windows Server 2016,
VDI and App cloud offers on Azure, and a compelling value-add proposition for
XenMobile with EMS and Intune. The Citrix Secure Browser Service supports the
hyper-growth of browser-based apps in tandem with our partnerships with other
key technology providers. Expanded partnerships with cloud and ISV providers
will help these vendors to deliver more complete solutions.
• Innovate app delivery—We’ve continued our app delivery innovation with unique
support for Skype for Business, new AppDisk with AppDNA and user experience
improvements for Chromebooks and Linux devices. The introduction of System
Center Operations Manager packs has added significant value to our Platinum
editions of XenDesktop and XenApp. Our first fully hosted cloud service, Secure
Browser Service, helps customers of all sizes improve data security and browser
compatibility when accessing web and SaaS apps. XenMobile releases have
focused on enhancing mobile app security and productivity with the new
WorxForms app.
• Accelerate the shift to the cloud—We will make our entire Workspace Services
portfolio available as native, cloud services as part of Citrix Cloud, and develop
integration and interface enhancements to enable customers to access all Citrix
Cloud services as a unified and consumerized experience. Our cloud architecture
will facilitate continued innovation to meet new customer demands.
• Provide an integrated portfolio—Our Workspace Services are differentiated
by integration across the portfolio to deliver a superior and unified workspace
experience. This includes app access integrations, admin integrations for simpler
deployment and policy integrations to enable improved security.
• Invest in our partner ecosystem—We will continue to invest in integrations with
partners and third parties to reduce TCO, improve user experience and speed
deployment of app delivery solutions. This includes infrastructure integrations
with partners like Intel, Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Nutanix; innovative
device technologies like Raspberry Pi and Workspace Hub; and integrations that
leverage IoT for better customer and user experiences.

Delivering Innovation in Networking
Within the delivery network segment, Citrix NetScaler offers a strong product
portfolio that is consistently ranked as one of the market leaders by key analyst firms
and uniquely positioned as purely software-defined. Now, as the market for secure
network delivery and optimization solutions undergoes disruption, Citrix will extend
our leadership position among enterprises and strategic service providers by driving
accelerated innovation of our existing products and transitioning more of our
capabilities to the Citrix Cloud.
The delivery networks segment is comprised of two primary segments: application
delivery controller (ADC), which is a network device and/or software that manages
client connections to web and enterprise applications, and wide area network (WAN)
optimization, which is designed to optimize traditional data traffic patterns across
private WANs. The latter segment is rapidly being replaced by software-defined WAN
(SD-WAN): a newer approach to networking that is better suited to Internet traffic
and that reduces costs and improves flexibility by aggregating several different
connections and having them function like one virtual network.
To help customers benefit from the transformation of delivery networks, we will
pursue innovation within each of four areas:
• ADC—We will use enhanced performance and expanded capabilities to meet
the evolving ADC needs of both our enterprise and our SSP clients. With our
Management and Analytics System, Citrix NetScaler MAS, we will dramatically
simplify network management into a single control plane and provide unique
analytics and alerts to further optimize network performance. To lead the
transition to bimodal IT, we will bridge traditional DC/Networking (Mode1) to
advanced DevOps approaches via our One-to-Any model, NetScaler MAS and
ADC as a Service in Citrix Cloud.
• Gateway—We will offer leading secure remote access to business applications
deployed in datacenters or the cloud to provide a consolidated infrastructure and
reduce the TCO of the datacenter infrastructure. We will leverage Citrix NetScaler
Unified Gateway to provide remote access from any device type to Citrix XenApp
and XenDesktop environments, SSL VPN–based remote access to enterprise
applications like RDP, web and cloud applications, and integration with XenMobile
for MDM and MAM solutions.
• SD-WAN—We will provide market-leading innovation to ensure that Citrix SD-WAN
solutions exceed the capabilities of even specialty providers, including differentiated
authentication and security capabilities as well as cloud-based service offerings
that provide access to the cloud and SaaS.
• Security as a Service (SECaaS)—We will lead the move to the cloud for security
services by introducing new software-defined perimeter (SDP) capabilities building
out a comprehensive SDP solution for on-premises deployments in datacenters
and branch locations, and connect to cloud-based SDP offerings. Both SDP and
app delivery will be offered as a service as part of Citrix Cloud.

Defining Secure Business File Sharing
Citrix is well on its way to becoming the preferred and most-used vendor for EFSS,
enabling business users to securely synchronize and share data (documents, files,
photos, videos, etc.) across multiple devices.
The unique product vision for Citrix ShareFile is to help business users exchange
and collaborate on documents easily, securely and professionally. ShareFile was
built from the ground up for enterprise-class security. It was first to market with
StorageZones, which allow customers to securely share data and files from any
source or location: on-premises, in the cloud or in other file-sharing services.
It comes equipped with a collection of predefined connectors, making it easy for
customers to connect to other data storage services like SharePoint, OneDrive or
Dropbox while maintaining the security services of ShareFile. These data security
features are particularly attractive to regulated industries and in Europe where
there is a strong need to store data on-premises or in-country.
IDC and others expect these capabilities to increase as companies need to manage
“massively distributed hybrid clouds, connecting private, public and local clouds
together to deliver a seamless FSS experience regardless of geographic location.”
Additional ShareFile data security features, such as information rights management
(IRM), electronic signatures, advanced document workflows, encrypted email,
integration with top DLP systems and co-editing within Microsoft Online continue
to extend our lead in secure file sharing. Support for virtualized environments and
native integration with the rest of the Citrix portfolio provides enhanced benefits for
current Citrix customers. We will continue to extend our lead in secure data sharing
and collaboration by delivering new capabilities for information rights management;
additional connectors to a broader set of Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
offerings; role-based permissions and group-level settings; and advanced and
specialized native workflow capabilities.
Conclusion
This is a pivotal time for business, and technology will be a key enabler of success.
Citrix is turning disruptive change into an operational and competitive advantage for
our customers, building upon our proven 25-year track record of securely delivering
the world’s most important apps. Our goal is to empower organizations with the tools
and confidence to say yes to whatever comes next.
