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).

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!

Editor's Notes
Welcome to this presentation!
Introduce the module title and topics.
Key message:
Business intelligence, or BI, has come a long way.
During the first two waves of business intelligence, IT professionals and business analysts were the keepers of BI. They made BI accessible and consumable for end users.
While this approach still applies to complex business intelligence needs, today there is a new wave.
This third wave of BI makes BI available to every kind of user.
Talking points:
Today we’re going to discuss Power BI, which is a third-wave solution. Power BI enables EVERYONE to collect, analyze, visualize and publish data.
This third wave has the potential to expand the reach of analytics to more users than ever before. Existing analytics platforms and tools can be extended, instead of being replaced, by full-featured solutions like Power BI. Power BI directly connects to existing on-premises data, such as Analysis Services tabular models that were created by business analysts in collaboration with IT. Microsoft Excel and the new Power BI Desktop work hand-in-hand with Power BI, publishing reports and models created by business analysts and getting them more easily in the hands of the business users who can gain insight and take action.
Power BI addresses three common business intelligence challenges that an organization may face:
Getting an end-to-end view off what is happening — because data is often in disparate locations, it can be difficult for business users to see a complete picture of your business
Managing multiple data sources — Data residing in SaaS solutions and other external locations can be difficult to manage programmatically, or access and refresh securely
Making the right data available to the right users at the right time
Mobile business users need the latest operational data at their fingertips, no matter where they are or what device they’re using
Different roles have different needs and access levels, so a one-size-fits all solution doesn’t work
Key message:
Power BI is a business analytics service. With Power BI you can now see all of your data through a single pane of glass.

Power BI is a cloud-based analytics service that provides faster time to insight. It is used for visualizing, exploring and extracting insights from data. It brings together data from diverse sources to deliver rich, comprehensive views of business operations.
What that means is, with Power BI, you can see all of your data through a single pane of glass, and create an analytics environment in minutes to monitor data and share reports. Live dashboards and reports show visualizations and KPIs from data that reside both on-premises and in the cloud, providing a consolidated view across your business regardless of where your data lives.
There are several capabilities that are unique to Power BI – these include:
Pre-built dashboards and reports for popular SaaS solutions such as Marketo, Salesforce, GitHub, ZenDesk, Dynamics CRM, and many others
Dashboards and visualizations that support real-time updates
Secure, live connection to on-premises data sources to drive insight across the entire range of organizational information (Analysis Services, Azure SQL Database, SQL Database Auditing, Azure SQL Data Warehouse)
Automated scheduled refresh to keep your Power BI data in sync with on premises data sources
Native mobile applications for keeping users connected on the go
Easy integration with other Microsoft offerings, from Excel to Azure services
Intuitive data exploration, which enables users to ask questions of their data in plain English
To summarize, Power BI is a SaaS offering that enables anyone to easily connect to their data, create live operational dashboards and explore data via interactive visualizations
Let’s walk through an overview of how Power BI works.
1. The Power BI service, sometimes referred to as powerbi.com, is what allows you to:
Create beautiful visualizations to tell compelling data stories
Build rich, live dashboards that turn BI into business insights
Create reports & datasets from which you can create visualizations and dashboards
Enjoy the benefits of up-to-date data with real-time, automatic and scheduled refreshes
Share dashboards easily with other people in your organization
Ask questions of data in plain English with Natural Language Query
Stay connected to your data all the time with mobile applications
2. Power BI connects to a variety of data sources. These range across both cloud and on-premises sources, and include:
A variety of popular SaaS solutions, such as Marketo, Salesforce, GitHub, Dynamics CRM, Zendesk, and several others
On-premises databases – Power BI offers live connectivity to SQL Server Analysis Services, which we’ll cover in more detail later. And using a gateway solution, Power BI can connect to other database solutions.
Custom data sources – Power BI can connect to any data source you need it to thanks to its extensibility via REST APIs. This includes both proprietary corporate data sources, as well as external data services. For example, if you are a SaaS solution provider, you can work with Microsoft to connect your solution to Power BI.
Other Azure services – Power BI integrates tightly with SQL Azure and Stream Analytics, and will be integrating closely with more Azure services over time
Power BI Desktop and Excel files – Excel workbooks can be directly connected to Power BI.com, or may be used with Power BI Desktop. Power BI Desktop is a companion application to the Power BI service – it is a desktop tool that supports data analysis and reporting. Like Excel files, Power BI Desktop files may be uploaded to the Power BI service.
This slide can be used to categorize the Power BI features into different roles.
During this course, different topics will be relevant to different roles – so it is good to define these early on.

O Projeto
A RED BELT através de sua divisão de negócios RED AD implementou um ambiente de Business Intelligence utlizando SharePoint OnLine para a construtora Pacaembu.
Situação de Negócio
Formado pela Haus Construtora e pela Pacaembu Construtora, que somam mais de 20 anos de experiência no segmento de baixa renda, o Grupo Pacaembu atua na construção de empreendimentos residenciais destinados às classes C e D contempladas no programa “Minha Casa Minha Vida”, do Governo Federal. Buscando maior agilidade na tomada de decisão o Grupo Pacaembu buscou por tecnologia de ponta para agregar em seu dia a dia.
A Solução
A RED AD implementou uma solução de Business Intelligence (BI) utilizando o ambiente Cloud da Microsoft (Azure), a fim de ampliar e agilizar a tomada de decisão da organização. Com a solução o Grupo Pacaembu possui relatórios gerenciais customizados e exclusivos, que permitem analisar os dados do seu ERP com uma visão que o próprio ERP não disponbiliza. Os cubos criados pela redbelt, possibilita que o usuário crie inúmeras combinações de informações (visões), facilitando a compreensão dos resultados. Com esta solução, foi possível reverter o tempo que os usuários “perdiam” criando relatórios no Excel concilando varios relatórios do ERP.
