Home is Safer than the Cloud! Privacy Concerns for Consumer Cloud StorageIIIT Hyderabad
Several studies ranked security and privacy to be major areas of concern and impediments of cloud adoption for companies, but none have looked into end-users’ attitudes
and practices. Not much is known about consumers’ privacy beliefs and expectations for cloud storage, such as webmail, document and photo sharing platforms, or about users’
awareness of contractual terms and conditions. We conducted 36 in-depth interviews in Switzerland and India (two countries with different privacy perceptions and expectations); and followed up with an online survey with 402 participants in both countries. We study users’ privacy attitudes and beliefs regarding their use of cloud storage systems. Our results show that privacy requirements for consumer cloud storage differ from those of companies. Users are less concerned about some issues, such as guaranteed deletion of data, country of storage and storage outsourcing,
but are uncertain about using cloud storage. Our results further show that end-users consider the Internet intrinsically insecure and prefer local storage for sensitive data over cloud
storage. However, users desire better security and are ready
to pay for services that provide strong privacy guarantees.
Participants had misconceptions about the rights and guarantees their cloud storage providers offers. For example, users believed that their provider is liable in case of data
loss, does not have the right to view and modify user data,
and cannot disable user accounts. Finally, our results show
that cultural differences greatly influence user attitudes and
beliefs, such as their willingness to store sensitive data in
the cloud and their acceptance that law enforcement agencies monitor user accounts. We believe that these observations can help in improving users privacy in cloud storage systems.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
