Why IT Service Managemement implementations sometimes fail in real lifeChristian F. Nissen
A best practice such as ITIL may be approached in various ways. The traditional approach is to plan, design and implement practices based on a notion that we can control reality. However, experience tells us that this approach often fails. Another more agile approach is to adopt and adapt ITIL through small incremental improvements based on the insights from among other Lean IT. A third approach is to let processes emerge in a setting that encourages the preferred behaviour and inhibits undesirable behaviour. We will gain insight into the three perspectives through examples and discuss the different approaches for successfully adopting and adapting ITIL in various settings.

How many times have you been surprised, and frustrated, to learn your IT capabilities won’t support a new or key business objective? Given the rapidly changing healthcare industry and multitude of new initiatives, this scenario happens all the time.
So how can you help ensure your IT components will work together, and can be leveraged to drive business results?
You need a blueprint — a way to align IT to the business – an IT Enterprise Architecture.
A sound Enterprise Architecture ensures your business is supported by IT components working together to deliver both a return-on-investment and projected business results.

Proposal of a Framework of Lean Governance and Management of Enterprise ITMehran Misaghi
Technology and Information are vital to the success of companies.
To leverage the successes in IT projects, companies have at their
disposal, references globally accepted as good practices (COBIT,
ITIL, PMBOK, ISO, TOGAF, etc.). In spite of this, it is still great
the magnitude of spending on IT projects poorly designed or
improperly implemented. This paper presents a brief description
of standards and good practices related to governance and
management of enterprise IT, defines the Lean Thinking, Lean IT, the Processes Management, the Portfolio, Program and Project
Management, and the Work System Theory, and highlights the
purpose of them, showing their characteristics and suggests a
Framework of Lean Governance and Management of Enterprise
IT, by demonstrating how the standards and good practices
presented can work together, because it advocates that the Lean
Thinking, the Process, Portfolio, Program, and Project
Management, and the Work System Theory complement the
standards and good practices of Governance and Management of
Enterprise IT with an approach not referenced in these standards
and good practic

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).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.

4. What use are IT frameworks? Literally “frame” the problem space – setting the stage for success IT domain, best practices, and the competencies that underpin them Key objects to be managed Asset, service, software, process, infrastructure, policies, budgets, accounting Key aspects to be managed Financial, quality, time / speed / agility, risk, availability, performance, customer satisfaction, compliance, learning and growth
5. What use are IT frameworks? (continued) Basis for aligning performance of IT organizations, teams, and individual IT professionals Defines key outcomes or imperatives for “how we do things around here” and norms for successful behavior Provide common models, language, and a frame of reference for aligning thinking, action, and learning – think architect and tradesman, white lines / yellow lines Provide a means for locating and orient themselves within the IT domain “You are here” – in the IT lifecycle/maturity continuum
7. What use are IT frameworks? (continued) Provide a maps and a “new pair of eyes” to see what is important - think “Terminator” – heads up display Principles, policies, practices, processes, people Terminology,definitions and distinctions Customers, performers, conditions of satisfaction Triggers for action – incidents, changes, problems, opportunities, etc. Activities, deliverables, tools / artifacts, methods, techniques, meetings / rituals – think “Margaret Meade” Rules and regulations– think “Roomba” Reporting, metrics, assessment, audit
8. What use are IT frameworks? (continued) Basis for understanding required skills, knowledge, mindset for success Can be used to guide IT professionals towards specialization and to establish urgency in career development (so much to learn) Help curricula designers by setting the context for curricula IT domains, practices that underpin them, competencies required of IT professional
