New research conducted by IDG Connect, on behalf of F5, collates the views of 50 IT decision makers in large organisations across Australia and Singapore. This infographic investigates the state of current security practices in the hybrid cloud and looks at where things are likely to head by 2016.
Digital Transformation and the Role of IAMPing Identity
We surveyed 200 IT decision makers across four countries
to learn where they are in their journey and the role that identity and access management (IAM) plays in the path to digital transformation.
While mobility enables business innovation and agility, it also introduces risk. These risks fall into four main areas: Device, network, apps/data and external threats.

Biometrics: A New Wrinkle Changes the Authentication Landscape mercatoradvisory
Criminal theft of passwords has made passwords obsolete, and so a new factor is required for authentication. Biometrics will be that new factor. It increases security and will prove more convenient for the consumer than passwords as it transitions into a persistent identity over the next 5 to 8 years. Increasingly smartphones are shipping with trusted execution environments that can displace traditional hardware security fobs. These new smartphones are critical to this fundamental shift in biometrics.
A new research report from Mercator Advisory Group titled Biometrics: A New Wrinkle Changes the Authentication Landscape explains the need for multimodal biometric authentication and describes many types of biometrics available from various technology providers. The report shows how biometrics technology has shifted from a primarily hardware-based solution to a software-and cloud-based solution enabled by smartphones that have become much more secure. With voice and face recognition, and now the addition of behavioral biometrics, this shift will drive rapid new innovation and will tip the market in favor of the mobile architecture.

Selling Your Organization on Application SecurityVeracode
You’ve studied the best practices, charted out your course and are ready to embark on your application security journey. But there is still one roadblock that could derail your entire program if you ignore it – getting buy-in from the rest of your company. You see, application security is unlike other forms of security in that it directly impacts the productivity of multiple teams outside the IT and security teams. Who are the groups you need to work with? At what point in the planning and execution stages should you engage with these teams? And why are they so concerned with your application security strategy? The answer to these questions can be found in this short, yet informative presentation. You'll learn about the teams you need to work with, and how to best communicate and work with them to ensure the success of your application security program.

Mobile Security: Apps are our digital lives.Veracode
Every app that resides on our devices contains information on some aspect of our lives. What games we play, who we talk to, where we work, what utilities make our lives easier are all captured by our apps on our mobile devices. Anyone armed with this information can mimic our digital lives to friends, family, colleagues and even corporate systems. Who we are and what we know is valuable information – and not just for marketing folks like me.

The Four(ish) Appsec Metrics You Can’t IgnoreVeracode
Which metrics should we use? You might expect an “it depends” answer, but there are some metrics that are important for any application security program, regardless of audience or goals. We’ll take a look at a few of them in this post.
We found that while cyber security was named as the topmost future tech adoption for organizations in 2019, cyber security is now the second tech priority for 2021 but with a higher budget than previously allocated. We also discovered that cloud security currently holds more importance with CISOs, CTOs and CIOs than data security and privacy.
Enterprises are constantly working to implement new, faster, better technology to run their businesses. In turn, cyberattackers are working equally as hard to find ways to breach that technology, and security professionals are churning out solutions to thwart attacks. This cycle of activity leads to today’s layered, complex enterprise security ecosystems. These ecosystems are like any ecosystem in the natural world, with interdependencies, limited resources, and a need for balance to make them run smoothly. If one layer falters, the whole ecosystem can become unstable.
With the recent introduction of applications as a business driver, the security ecosystem needs to adapt. The application layer is now a critical player, and requires a reworking of the ecosystem to restore balance and security. However, this reworking has yet to happen in many cases, leading to the surge of breaches we’ve seen lately. End-point and network security tend to garner the lion’s share of IT attention – leading to an unbalanced security ecosystem, an exposed application layer, and serious breaches.
It is important to understand all the layers of security and how they work together to secure your enterprise. Start by getting the facts and stats with our new gbook, The Seven Kinds of Security.
[CB20] It is a World Wide Web, but All Politics is Local: Planning to Survive...CODE BLUE
Since the birth of the World Wide Web in 1989, despite the fact that the key function of the Internet is to communicate, share and distribute information without borders, countries have varied in their understanding and policies on how the Internet should work in their jurisdiction; some have codified laws bolstering Internet sovereignty or built firewalls to control online information flows. At the 25th anniversary of the Internet in 2014, the Pew Research Center invited over 1400 technology industry leaders and academics to reflect on the impact of the Internet over the next ten years. The top Internet threat these experts named was that nation-states could increasingly block, filter, segment and Balkanize the Internet for geopolitical, economic, social and security reasons.
In 2020, six years after that Pew report, amidst a global pandemic, growing populist partisanship in many countries, and heightened geopolitical tensions between the world’s largest economies, the splintering of Internet communities seems even more imminent than before, as governments seek to limit the sometimes harmful power of social media speech and Internet companies' encroachments on personal privacy. Is the global trend towards segmentation and Balkanization of the Internet forthcoming? What are its implications for business operations globally in terms of cost, planning, continuity, and liabilities ? How will cyber threats evolve as businesses adjust their operations to adapt to a more-segmented Internet? This talk will address these issues by identifying and characterizing the evidence of the segmentation and Balkanization of the Internet and by providing broad cyber threat and risk profiles for each region and practical mitigation measures to improve business resilience.

What is IT supposed to provision access to in 2016? What is important and how can you increase your business's security and efficiency in the process? This guide explains.
The SolarWinds hack, first detected in December 2020 and referred to as “the largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen” by the president of Microsoft, was a watershed moment in cybersecurity. Hundreds of organizations, including Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, were affected, with sensitive data compromised. A year on, a major study conducted by Splunk has found that 78% of companies expect the same thing to happen again.
Passwordless is Possible - How to Remove Passwords and Improve Security SecureAuth
According to the latest Verizon Data Breach Report, breaches caused by stolen or weak credentials are on the rise – up to 81% in 2016. While there is no denying that we need to remove our dependency on the password as a primary method of authentication, the question remains how do we get there?
This SC Magazine-hosted Webinar featured SecureAuth CTO Keith Graham discussing how passwordless authentication is possible today, the considerations needed when moving to a password–free world and how removing passwords as your weakest link can increase security while providing a great user experience.

Our own new research into bullying in tech supports this slightly sinister, nefarious view of career climbers who clamber on up, at both the expense of the company and their victims. Findings reveal that from a self-selecting study of over 650 IT professionals, 75% reported they had been bullied. Of these 94% highlighted psychological bullying, and in 74% of cases, the perpetrator was senior. This perfectly fits the profile of individuals who strategically abuse others to maintain their own position. And this type of manipulative self-protectionism can really hinder the bottom line.
InfoShot: Smartphones Dial Up The WorldIDG Connect
Smartphones are the phasers that bridge real and virtual worlds and as prices have fallen and more countries have created wealth they have become enormously popular. As the mobile device most of use to access the internet they are arguably the most significant devices in use today. But smartphones cost more than ‘dumbphones’ – basic handsets – or feature phones and so they are still advancing in market share. However, falling prices, more wireless broadband access and deliberate attempts to crack more markets on the part of vendors mean that smartphones are coming to more of us all over the world.
Over the last couple of months, many of the big US tech companies have been releasing their diversity reports. It’s reinforced a fact most people have known for a while: Tech is a white man’s game.
While many of the companies have a fairly high proportion of women in the workforce, few are in tech or leadership roles. Pinterest’s Tracy Chou recently gathered info on the number of female software engineers at various startups and big tech companies.
Women make up about 16% of engineers from 150 startups. The only company with more than 100 engineers and more than a 20% female workforce is ThoughtWorks. Dropbox, Mozilla and Yelp’s engineering workforces are only 8% women, Github’s is 6%.
But while gender and tech is an issue often brought up, ethnic diversity is also still a major issue. According to US census figures, the ethnic make-up of the country’s 317 million-odd people is around 16% Hispanic, 12% African America and 4.7% Asian. Look at the diversity reports of some of the US’ biggest tech firms however, and you’d get a very different picture.
Tech companies seem to have a disproportionate amount of Asian workers compared to Hispanic or African American workers. Most have fewer than 3% African American workers and 9% Hispanic, but 30% Asian – often within tech or leadership roles. Only Apple can say its company workforce is even close to the ethnic make-up of the country.
This isn’t to say companies should purposely go out of their way to hire Hispanic or African Americans over other ethnicities. Companies should hire the best people for the job irrelevant of other issues. But why there are so few people from certain communities when they make up a significant proportion of the population needs to be looked at.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Security in the Hybrid Cloud Now and in 2016
1. New research conducted by IDG Connect, on behalf of F5, collates the
views of 50 IT decision makers in large organisations across Australia
and Singapore. This infographic investigates the state of current
security practices in the hybrid cloud and looks at where things are
likely to head by 2016.
The professionals we surveyed felt that passwords will
become slightly more important in SaaS related security
issues in future.

At present passwords are the most common form of security for
cloud services but few IT decision makers believe this will be the
case by 2016. In future professionals think multifactor
authentication will prove to be the most popular form of security.
