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).

Introduce topic by explaining that food safety is the responsibility of everyone who works in foodservice. (page 51) Call on several participants to describe some aspect of their job that has an impact on food safety.
The term âfood-safeâ is used to mean a facility that is clean and in good repair. This includes both the work areas and the equipment. The facility design should be designed for easy cleaning and maintenance as well. Refer to page 54-56 in handout. Divide participants into groups of 4 or 5 people. Assign a standard to each group. Ask them to describe the characteristic os a food-safe facility for their assigned standard. Assign a group leader to report results to entire group. Summary: It is important to eliminate hard-to-clean work areas and get rid of dirty surroundings. Remember - the easier the workplace is to clean, the more likely it will stay that way.
There are 2 methods of sanitizing: 1. Chemical 2. Heat There are 2 types of sanitizing methods used in food service: Heat sanitizing involves exposing equipment to high heat for an adequate length of time. 2. Chemical sanitizing is accomplished by immersing or wiping an object with a sanitizing solution and allowing the solution to remain on the surface for the specified amount of time. Ask participants: What type of sanitizing do you use in your operation? Review the characteristics and requirements of each as they are presented. Fill in the void with the remaining types. NOTE: A household bleach can be used as a sanitizer only if the label indicates it is EPA registered. Never use scented or oxygen bleaches. Refer to page 58 for âRule-of-Thumb Mixturesâ but stress that a test kit is the only sure way to determine concentration of sanitizing solution.
Letâs look at the 2 methods of heat sanitizing. Manually â immersing equipment into water maintained at a temperature of 171° to 195° F for at least 30 seconds. Dishwashing machine â rule of thumb is to wash at 150° F and rinse at 180°F; temperature may vary depending on type of machine and local Health Department codes Use thermometers and heat-sensitive tapes to determine if adequate sanitation temperatures have been achieved. Ask participants: Are you using any of these methods of sanitizing in your operation?
These are the most common chemical sanitizers. Chlorine most commonly used and is the least expensive effective in hard water inactivated by water above 120°F organic matter causes chlorine to become ineffective must be tested regularly and changed as needed too much chlorine can pit stainless steel and aluminum surfaces household bleach â can be used only if the label indicates it is EPA registered (show label samples) 2. Iodine more expensive and not as effective as chlorine food particles does not make inactive as quickly as chlorine is brown color so can easily see that it is being used 3. Quats not as quickly inactivated by food particles as chlorine non-corrosive to metals nonirritating to skin Use a test kit designed for the chemical you have selected. The foodservice supplier of the chemical may have the test kits as well. Remember: When a sanitizing solution is exposed to air, detergent, and food particles, the solution becomes less effective. Sanitizing solutions should be tested frequently.
Refer participants to page 59 in handout for manually sanitizing smallwares in a 3-compartment sink. Review the procedures stressing time and temperatures.
The temperature may vary depending on type of dishwashing machine and local Health Department codes. Most dishwashing machines have thermometers but it is useful to confirm the accuracy of the dishwasher thermometer gauges. 2 types of thermometers: Waterproof maximum/minimum-registering thermometer: placed on dish rack to go through dishwasher cycle. It is set to record the highest and lowest temperatures. Self-adhering temperature-sensitive labels: attaches to a tray and goes through dishwashing cycle; changes color if temperatures are correct; label can be removed from tray and placed on log to document correct temperatures
All equipment should be kept clean and sanitized. Step 1: Unplug electrically powered equipment Step 2: Remove loose food particles and scraps Step 3: Wash, rinse, and sanitize any removable parts using the manual immersion method Step 4: Wash the remaining food-contact surfaces and rinse with clean water. Wipe down with a chemical sanitizing solution. Step 5: Clean surfaces that do not come in contact with food using a clean wiping cloth. Allow all parts to air dry before re-assembling. Clean the wiping cloth before and during use by rinsing in a sanitizing solution. Step 6: Re-sanitize the external food-contact surfaces of the parts that were touched when the equipment was re-assembled.
Who is responsible for food safety? Itâs everyoneâs business. Managers: Know requirements for maintaining a sanitary operation Establish standard procedures for cleaning specific areas of the facility Teach & coach employees how to maintain a sanitary facility Use daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning schedule and hold employees responsible for cleaning & sanitizing assigned areas Have routine inspections Employees: Follow standard procedures for cleaning & sanitizing assigned areas Ask manager for help if needed Both can take pride in operating a clean & sanitary foodservice operation.
Refer participants to page 92 at the end of in the handout for Chapter 4. Ask each participant to describe how they will use what has been learned. Answer the questions. As they are doing this, have each person select ½ of a playing card. Then have them pair up and share their answers with one another. Ask them to return to their seats. Ask for volunteers to share their answers.
Manages and employees must understand what needs to be done at each step of the foodservice process to keep food safe. This chapter provides guidelines for insuring food safety from the beginning of the process at purchasing the food to the last step of reheating it⌠from the back door to the trash can.
These are the 8 steps of the foodservice process. In this chapter we will look at the guidelines that can be used to implement a food safety program in your operation.
The goal of purchasing is to obtain wholesome, safe foods to meet menu requirements. The job of the person responsible for purchsing is to choose the vendors wisely. Guidelines for vendors: Meet federal & state health standards â what are some of these standards? clean delivery trucks with adequate refrigeration & freezer units deliver foods at correct temperatures (story: milk delivery at time of Health Dept inspection) organize deliveries to separate raw products from processed foods and produce deliver foods in protective, leak-proof, durable packaging 2. Use standardized procedures for food sanitation in their operations. written policy/procedures on handling returns/recalls related to food safety 3. Train employees in sanitation Can you think of other food safety responsibilities of the vendor?
Guidelines for the Purchaser: Work with vendor to establish a reasonable food delivery schedule for each site. Tell the vendor what is expected Request vendor to provide a copy of the standardized procedures for food safety Include food safety standards in the purchase specification agreement Request copy of vendorâs most recent health department inspection report Make unannounced inspections of the delivery trucks; school staff should report dirty, unsafe trucks Visit warehouse periodically to see that it is clean & organized Reject all products that do not meet requirements; school staff must assist with this as well
The person who is receiving a food delivery is responsible for controlling the quality and safety of the foods that are accepted. To insure food safety and food quality, employees must be trained to accept only that products that meet specifications, quality standards, and sanitation requirements. The goals of receiving are to make sure foods are fresh and safe when they arrive and then transfer them to storage as quickly as possible. Follow these food safety guidelines for receiving: Train employees for receiving duties 2. Organize physical space used for receiving pen & hard surface on which to write food thermometer for documenting delivery temperatures clean cart or hand truck for transporting goods to storage receiving ticket or market order ready when delivery is scheduled product specification list keep receiving area well lighted & clean to discourage pests 3. Inspect delivery truck when it arrives truck looks and smells clean check interior temperature â is it appropriate for the foods being delivered? 4. Inspect foods immediately upon delivery do they meet temperature requirements, food specifications, and food quality standards? mark all items with arrival date or âuse byâ date check expiration dates of milk, eggs, & other perishable foods check to be sure shelf dates have not expired frozen foods are in air-tight, moisture-proof wrapping reject foods that have been thawed & frozen: signs include large ice crystals, solid areas of ice, excessive ice in container reject cans that have signs of deterioration: swollen sides or ends, flawed seams or seals, dents, or rust use food thermometer to check food temperatures examine packaging for content damage & insect infestation reject dairy, bakery, & other foods delivered on dirty flats or crates remove empty containers & packing material immediately to the trash or recycling area
Refer participants to pages 70-73 of handout. Distribute page 95 handout from instructorâs manual. Ask participants to work individually to decide whether to accept or reject various items listed. Describe WHY you made the decision. Answers on page 94 of instructorâs manual.
Both the quality and safety of foods is affected if they are improperly stored. In some cases harmful microorganisms are allowed to grow causing foodborne illness. These are the most common methods of food storage. Which ones do you have in your facility? Refer participants to pages 74-76 in the handout.
Divide participant into 4 groups and assign each group one of the areas of storage. Refer them to pages 74-76 for safe food storage guidelines. Be prepared to fill in missing key information as groups present their reports.
During the food preparation step, there are many opportunities for food handlers to contaminate the foods. It is important that food handlers be diligent to prevent contamination of foods; avoid time in the temperature danger zone; and use safe food handling practices. Freezing food keeps most bacteria from multiplying but it does no kill them. NEVER thaw food at room temperature. Why? 4 safe methods to thaw frozen food: see page 77 in handout
Refer to page 78 in handout. Review the guidelines.
Refer to page 79 in handout. Review guidelines. Review minimum safe internal temperatures on page 80. These are based on the 2001 Food Code . Be sure to check with your local or state Health Department for any changes to these temperatures listed.
Refer to page 81-82 in handout. Divide the participants into 3 groups. Assign each group one of the âhold & serveâ topics. Each group should plan a presentation that explains the important guidelines of their assigned topic. Be prepared to fill in key information as group presentations are being made.
Refer to page 83-84 in handout. Review key information.
Refer to page 84 in the handout. Review the key points.
Our last chapter is on HACCPâHazard Analysis and Critical Control Point. The 2004 Reauthorization Act HACCP
Discuss key points form introduction on page 92 of the handout.
Read slide.

Read screen. The 7 principles of HACCP can be used during the 8-step foodservice process to help prevent foodborne illness.
The highest priority for all foodservice managers is protection of our customers by serving safe foods. These tasks will help manager achieve this goal. See page 93 in handout.
Discuss each of these briefly. See pages 93-95 in handout. Track each food from purchasing and receiving thru serving and reheating. School menus grouped by process: Items prepared and served without cooking; green salads, meat salads, deli meats Items prepared and cooked just-in-time for service; hot dogs, hamburgers Items prepared, cooked, held, cooled, reheated, and served; tacos, spaghetti Identify PHFs hazards at each step; plan control measures; example: tuna sandwich Evaluate general preparation, cooking, chilling, holding procedures Rank in terms of severity and probability; How serious are the consequences? How likely? See pg 95 in book for example on Chicken AskâŚâWhat are the Hazards that could occur in this step?â
Refer to pages 95-96 of handout. CCP â a point or procedure in a specific food system where loss of control my result in unacceptable health risk â whereâ hazards can beâŚ. Identify procedures to prevent, reduce and eliminate recontamination hazards at each step
Refer to page 96 in handout. Specify exactly what should be done to meet each standard (CL). In addition: Provided food thermometers Teach how to use and calibrate Ensure that they use routinely On recipes indicate end state cooking, reheating, and hot holding temps Indicate specific times for thawing, cooking and cooling foods Provide directions for handling leftovers Schedule sufficient staff in peak hours to prepare and serve food safely
Refer to page 96 in handout. Monitor at every step Compare what actually happens during the process with established standards Read the example on pg 96
Refer to page 96-97 in handout.
Refer to page 97 in handout. If corrective actions needed frequently , this may mean HACCP system needs changing or fine tuning Think of tests: like measuring concentration of sanitizer. Examine records to see that employees are entering actual valid data Use inspection form to see that HACCP process is working
Refer to page 97 in handout. Maybe â simple quick forms for employees to record their compliance with standards at CCPâs Written records may provide proof that a foodborne illness did not originate there Records also continue to help improve sanitation procedures and HACCP system
Using the recipe for Oven Fried Chicken, correlate the 7 principles of HACCP with the 8 steps of safe food practices. Each HACCP principle may not be present in every step Refer to pages 98-100 in handout.
