Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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).

3. LISTENING SKILLS
Active Listening Skills
• Most of us were fortunate to be born with hearing, but listening is a skill
that must be learned and practiced in order to use it successfully.
• When you hear something, sound enters your eardrum, passes through
your ear canal, and registers in your brain.
• Listening is what you do with that sound and how you interpret it
4. LISTENING SKILLS
Active Listening Skills
for Successful Listening:
• Listen intentionally for people’s names.
• Listen with interest.
• Try to get rid of your assumptions.
• Listen for what isn’t said.
5. LISTENING SKILLS
Active Listening Skills
Listening is hard work!
Active listening means that we try to understand things from the speaker’s point
of view.
• It includes letting the speaker know that we are listening and that we have
understood what was said.
• This is not the same as hearing, which is a physical process.
Active listening can be described as an attitude that leads to listening for shared
understanding
6. LISTENING SKILLS
Tips for Becoming a Better Listener
• Make a decision to listen.
• Don’t interrupt people.
• Keep your eyes focused on the speaker and your ears tuned to their
voice.
• Carry a notebook or start a conversation file on your computer.
• Ask a few questions throughout the conversation.
• When you demonstrate good listening skills, they tend to be infectious.
7. BODY LANGUAGE
What Do Our Bodies Say?
Albert Mehrabian’s says: When discussing emotions the percentage of
speaker’s message that communicated by words, tone of voice , body
language are as follow:
7%
38%
55%
words
tone of voice
body language
8. BODY LANGUAGE
What Do Our Bodies Say?
Here are some things to keep in mind about body language:
• Your body posture affects your emotions and how you feel determines
your posture
• Your eyes, eyebrows, and mouth send out the signals that can
make a world of difference.
People who smile are happier
• Eye contact helps you carry your message
• learn to speak with your hands.
Work on appearing sincere and comfortable. Let your hands do what they
want to do (mostly).
9. BODY LANGUAGE
Gestures
• We all interpret body language differently and we can also feel
differently about images.
• We are influenced by past experiences, background, culture, and so
on.
• A gesture is a type of non-verbal communication that is
communicated through body language, with or without speech.
• Gestures can be a challenging part of communication.
• If you travel around the world or work with people from different
cultures, you need to be aware of the multiple meanings to some
gestures.
