Dear Friends,
Finally, we have come out with an Annual Report of activities carried out by NEEV in 2010-11. All of you have been receiving regular updates by NEEV, nonetheless, we think, it is a delightful experience to see the entire mosaic pieced together.
As we affirm in every message to all of you, the journey of NEEV which is going to complete 5 years this 31st October, could never, ever, have been possible without the unstinted support of so many of you. NEEV has almost become a behemoth for us to handle with our seemingly puny wills and efforts. For us it is a divine spectacle unfolding, a quilt of unimaginable complexity being stitched together by aspirations, efforts and goodwill of disparate actors spread across time and space.
Each year, as I contemplate the journey we have undertaken and the journey we are dreaming to undertake, I include dollops of “miracles”, “prayers” and “goodwill” of people in my “strategic planning”; it is only through a measure of faith that we can think of even surviving what we are thinking of doing.
Having said that, I would definitely like to steal credit for our NEEV team that works like ants, day in and day out. Our reports don’t contain the accidents and skids our members have negotiated to reach remote village interiors on rainy days, nor do they contain the sleepless nights I have spent worrying about where our finances will come from, nor do they contain the tears that have flown and the tears that have been wiped........the hurts, the angst and the “jidd”
Yes, humare pass shaayad ek hi hatyaar hai.................woh hai, “ek jabardast jidd”, NEEV ki NEEV mitne nahi denge !!
Our sincere thanks to Mr. Salil Roy (Director, Systems – NEEV) for making an attractive Annual Report.

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!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.
