While the coronavirus has stalled business for many companies, some are experiencing a sudden spike in demand for their product or service. Perhaps yours is one of them. If so, you may find yourself “hiring in a hurry” to ensure you have enough talent to handle the sudden increase in interest, traffic and opportunity.
Given the urgency, the risk of mistake-making is high and can be costly—especially when it comes to extending pay offers. Compensation is an expensive proposition, so making promises in a hurry can be particularly hazardous. You don’t want to make commitments now you will regret later.
We can help you avoid that risk.

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.

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).
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.

Editor's Notes
Hi
My name is Johann. I’m on my journey to CTA, it’s a long and expensive journey. I enjoy every minute but was always wondering:
What did it take existing CTAs to pass the review board.
People tell you, you need to think like an architect, you need experience, you have to study hard. It’s very expensive.
Did you know that most people who are starting their journey to CTA never finish it? Todays presentation I will give you an indication what it takes to succeed.
Everybody can do it, it’s a matter of time, money and dedication.
