Brett King Presents The Future of Banking in an exclusive Backbase webinar.
The future of banking will not be about a place you go, about branch networks, rates or product features. The future of banking is in the utility and connectedness with customers.
In this exclusive Backbase BANK 2.0 webinar, the bestselling author of BANK 2.0, discusses how the very nature of banking is changing, how customer's expectations, customer behavior and context will force banks to reboot the way they work their customers.
Highlights of this webinar include:
The Changing Behavior of Customers
The Generational Cliff – when your customers are all gone
The Loss of Physicality – No Paper, No Plastic
The New Utility – Connected, Contextual, Fun, and Fair
The New Banking Ecosystem – BANK 1.0 versus BANK 2.0
Disruptive financial tech players are decoupling consumers from their primary financial and banking relationships with their banks, giving rise to suspicious that bill gates was right when he said "in the future we will still need to do banking, we just won't need banks". While this may be a view in the extreme certainly when we advise traditional banks on the banking of tomorrow we look to non-banks, the developing world and fintech for inspiration. And consumers are already voting with their digital digits and becoming accustomed to trusting non-banks with their banking needs. Bankers beware. Take a look at the following statistics from some of our presentations to finance and banking clients in the UK, USA, Austria, Sweden and Australia.
Influence of Mobile Money on Transactions in Africa; Focus East AfricaKelvin Kizito Kiyingi
The rapid growth of mobile money in East Africa is a phenomenon which has few precedents in the region’s financial and banking history and has far reaching implications on transactions. Four main areas of focus: The history and growth of Mobile Money; The financial sector; Business; and Influence on transactions
The Disrupted Future of Banking - How Tech Will Disrupt, Destroy, or Reinvent...ramezn
Digital technology is disrupting industry after industry. The price of computing, data storage, communication, and coordination continues to plummet. Artificial Intelligence, sharing networks, crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, and digitization of old analogue processes are revolutionizing huge swaths of the economy. It's these trends that are radically changing the needs and behaviors of banking customers AND it's these trends that are now forcing the banking industry to revolutionize.
Banks must disrupt themselves or be disrupted.
Gen Y consumers will earn 46% of the income in the United States by 2025, but they’re often misunderstood or ignored by financial services providers. This is especially true when it comes to online and mobile behavior and attitudes toward traditional banking.
Understanding this problem and designing to overcome it is critical to our work at Comrade, so we’re pleased to have partnered with Javelin Strategy & Research to publish “The Three Costliest Myths about Gen Y". This report applies consumer data to dispel the myths circulating in financial services today about Gen Y consumers. Beyond exposing pervasive misconceptions, it also explains how to optimize digital and physical touchpoints to attract tomorrow’s most profitable bank customers.

The main goal of this presentation is to propose EA as a holistic architecture approach to overcome the challenge of redundant effort in silo culture by adapting the "Zen" philosophy to define EA from the essence of EA goals rather from title of “Enterprise Architecture”
.LEA goal to support enterprise strategic planning and close the gaps between strategy and execution.
.LEA does not only architect the enterprise mechanical architecture but also facilitate the enterprise energy field of collaboration and knowledge management.
.LEA encompassed of three architecture theory in vertical, horizontal and circular architecture direction.
.LEA is not a big bang approach, It is a three tiers implementation in master architecture planning, .segment architecture and agile solution architecture.
.Support robust business strategic planning from both business and engineering consideration via
business influence diagram,
performance analysis and
segment architecture.
Suggest to practice EA in a three tier approach rather than a big bang. Point out EA is a planning effort rather than an engineering effort. EA is not the enterprise wide solution architecture. Clarify the confusion of business capability and business process. EA is not business process centric it is the mean to support the end of business capability. Introduce the concept of business floor plan and EA landscape. The business floor plan is similar to the floor plan of a house. EA landscape to present the situation of usage such as the landscape of application, data and technology. Practical EA use the popular EA method such as FEAF, TOGAF, DODAF to design the segment architecture .
The LEAF is a 3x3 matrix to illustrate EA comprehensively with three main goals suggest to practice EA in three tiers instead of a big bang approach.
The main goals of EA are Align IT to Business; Enable enterprise agility via interoperability, reuse and sharing; Adapt to change in the organic enterprise. To achieve these goals, it takes three architecture disciplines in vertical, horizontal and circular direction..
LEAF suggest to practice EA in three tier approach of Notional EA, Practical EA and Daily EA. A big bang EA approach requires significant investment of time and resources, In the three tier approach, The Notional Architecture is relatively light, The practical EA in segment scope is also light.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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).

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:
