When You Test Matters: Why Testing Early in the SDLC is ImportantCA Technologies
"This is the second presentation in the series on building application security programs. DevSecOps is starting to ease the tension between security professionals and developers. The more collaborative approach to software development means supporting developers in their responsibility to create functional, high-quality code securing applications no longer sits solely in the realm of security professionals. Developers are responsible for creating secure code as part of creating functional, high-quality code. While the positive impact on developers' and security professionals’ relationships cannot be understated, it does mean that conducting security tests needs to happen earlier in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) than ever before.
Join this presentation to understand why testing early results in higher-quality, secure code and how your organization can bring testing into the earliest phase of the SDLC—all while improving the relationship between developers and security professionals.
Attendees will also get a first-hand look at the tools developers can use to conduct these security tests.

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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

8. Team culture and behaviors are becoming consistent with reliability engineering that is combined
with smaller, more frequent deployment that leads to high performing teams and companies.
With DevNetOps, it allows speedier integration of vendor systems, especially software upgrades
and patches.
It also shortens the gap between the vendor’s time – to – Market and operator time – to –
deployment.
For engineers, DevNetOps reduces the deployment stress and boosts their job satisfaction.

Reduce lead time CI pipeline
Immutable
infrastructure
Monitoring &
Measurement
To reduce the lead time
between development and
deployment, and work in
shorter, faster cycles with
smaller deployment change
deliverables, the DevNetOps
pipeline automates the
progress between engineering
changes and production
deployments.
Committing to a versioned
code repository triggers a
continuous integration (CI)
pipeline of progressive
building and testing. Through
a series of automatic and
manual judgments, candidate
delivery payloads are tested
in virtual environments,
simulations, and labs toward
the state of a committed
reliable delivery. The state of
continuous delivery (CD)
pipeline ensures that the
committed delivery is always
in a deployable state.
Continuous deployment is the
automatic push to staging
and then production.
However, before changes are
pushed into a runtime
environment (such as staging
and production), it is important to
realize micro-sized architectural
units of changes and immutable
infrastructure. Large monolithic
changes are not safe, and are
slower to form and validate.
Additionally, issues are harder to
identify when compared to small
packets of change.
Immutable infrastructure is
equally important before
continuous deployment. It is not
efficient nor useful to deploy,
and then have an engineer alter
the meaning of what actually
deployed. Production runtimes
must be reproducible to safely
test changes and determine how
issues can be improved.
Continuous monitoring,
measurement, and response
comprise the last piece of
DevNetOps. The in-production
feedback to service-level
indicators are used to make
reactive or proactive
adjustments to the transitory
network state. Also, the
analyzed telemetry, incidents,
and external change requests
feed continuous improvements
back into the codified state of
the networking systems.
Benefits of Enabling DevNetOps
9. NETWORK RELIABILITY ENGINEERING
Network operator / Administrator or network architect but to embrace the new title as Network Reliability Engineer Just like sys-
admins have evolved form technicians to technologists entitled with SRE,
Site Reliability Engineer, the NRE is the title declared for modern network engineers. A professional who can implement a network
in a reliable
NRE principles are a derivative of DevOps Principle –
Enable automation
Have workflow transparency
Metrics for monitoring
Design for failure
Learn to evolve continuously / Innovation
“NRE culture keeps reliability on the top of
its hierarchy requirements, ensuring
security, agility, velocity, and efficiency while
delivering the required performance. The
goal is to move fast, but it’s not about how
quickly you can drive, it how you drive fast.”
