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).

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:
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

A significant amount of the application front-end and key enterprise-class back end features are available automatically as part of the platform. Any extension of one of the shipping applications, such as “DE2 DoDAF,” or anything configured from scratch by a customer will have these features without any additional programming or configuration work.
DE2 Repository is a highly scalable Oracle-based data management system specifically designed for the management and analysis of dynamic, highly-interrelated data. It is a significant extension to Oracle that allows rapid configuration of the database itself with the automatic creation of an extensive user interface that supports data entry, data review, reporting and data mining functions. Similar to Metadata Repositories, the Repository Information Model can be configured to suit customer or application needs using a built-in graphical tool. Similar to a CM platform, DE2 Repository supports the definition of processes and rules that control how and under what circumstances data can be read or manipulated. Unlike classic CM products, the control and management is at the data level and is focused on online record-oriented use, as opposed to the management of external artifacts (such as code or documents) An extensive user interface is automatically generated to manage standard data entry, review, reporting and analysis activities.
DE2 Repository can manage metadata and data from multiple source environments in one operational instance. This allows analysis to be done across data sources for a true (federated) enterprise perspective. Security settings can be used to limit users’ or roles’ access to information originating in specific external data sources or have views across data sources. Any “Department-Level” solutions could be a re-hosted legacy system, an Access database, or a “virtually-local” personal or workgroup solution.

Data can be partitioned using row-level security so a “master” view can be given to certain users with access to all data in the system and any number of “sub-views” that have access only to the portions that are relevant to their project, organization, role, task, etc. also possible to have common data shared across the sub-views. Shared data might be strategic requirements, a “baselined” or “production” set of assets, the master application list (doing portfolio management), regulatory requirements, etc.
