Faisal Chohan - BrightSpyre team presentation during Cyber Space Conference in Pakistan in Feb, 2015.
The presenation discussed power of Entrepreneurship and various tech initiatives in Pakistan including BrightSpyre, Pakreport, ework.pk and Cogilent Solutions.
This presentation presents overview of IVA and three important aspects of IVA, they are:
Good = Comfort/Convenience/Capability
Bad = Security
Ugly = Privacy

NLC/MS Government 2.0 - Enterprise Social Networkingguestb5e7e1c
Enterprise Social Computing is all the rage in the world of intranets and portals. The rise of blogs and wikis on the Web has prompted governments across the globe to put these and other social tools to use behind the firewall.
Why?
• To harness, capture, and learn from the knowledge of its employees…especially those who will be retiring soon.
• Improve policy outcomes
• More efficient use of government information
• Streamline internal operations
• Attract top talent
• Greater transparency through information dissemination
Imagine if social networking tools like blogs and wikis could be used as a means of interaction by the federal government bodies. Governments could interact to a far greater extent with citizens as well as with internal and external resources.
Shannon Ryan, President and CEO of non-linear creations, who has cemented his position in an international network of internet authorities, and is a regular and reliable source of information for the media about web strategy, execution and metrics, will demystify the concepts surrounding social computing.
The presentation will:
1. Give the broader market context for the rise and popularity of social computing.
2. Show you how you can benefit from social computing in your space.
3. Give a real “how to start” road map for building the framework to benefit from social networking.
4. Provide some lessons learned already from clients in this new fast moving space.
Dr Mark Elliott's (Collabforge) keynote to the City Planning, Civic Participation the Internet at Princeton University - 1 May 2009.
This presentation details how Collabforge worked with City of Melbourne to map the existing city planing process to develop a re-engineered process that leveraged collaboration and utilised cutting edge 'Web 2.0' solutions. Most notably, an open source wiki-based collaboration environment was developed in order to enable collaboration amongst the many City officers and stakeholders, as well as members of the general public during the public consultation period. The Future Melbourne project (www.futuremelbourne.com.au) recently won the Planning Institute of Australia (Victoria Division) Awards for Excellence, Local Government.

Today’s world is hyper-connected, mobile, social and always on. As we connect to the Internet from anywhere, at anytime, we are drawn deeper into digital life. What’s more, the experiences we have are increasingly tailored to our preferences: likes and dislikes. But, what does this mean for nonprofits? It means changing employee, donor and other stakeholder expectations.

Disruptive Innovation - the key drivers behind today's unprecedented rate of ...Dino Talic
A presentation I gave at the CPA Congress in Brisbane, Australia on 11 Oct 2012. The presentation covers the topic of disruptive innovation and in particular makes a case that industries today are being disrupted at faster rate than ever before in history. I analyse the macro trends driving this acceleration in disruption and also outline how businesses can turn these into opportunities rather than threats.
The next tectonic shift is happening. A cost-effective and easily scalable workforce is now available to anyone in the world. Simultaneously, every industry is now digitised and there is a growing proliferation of cheap and scalable infrastructure - this signals disruption for many existing business models and an opportunity for those willing to act on the changes.

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
