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).
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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Introduction Flock size and structure
• Ethiopia has 22 million goats (CSA, 2009/10) and 2/3 are found in arid and semi arid lowlands. • The overall mean flock size was 5.98±0.55, of which 53.5% were does, 13.4% castrates, 13.8% bucks, 10.6% doe
kids and 8.8% buck kids (< 6 mo).
• In Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Regional State (SNNPR), 2.7 million goats are reared in
various agro ecologies (CSA, 2010). • The highest flock size (12.5 ±2.2) is in the Moist Kola (Loka Abaya) followed by Moist Weyina Dega (5.5± 0.55) and
Moist Dega (2.7 ±0.36).
• Goats are adapted to a wide range of agro‐climatic conditions, have selective feeding behaviour, fast
reproduction, low capital investment making them suitable fort smallholder farmers and pastoralists. • Breeding stock consisted of 63.4% female and 36.6% all age male flocks. Farmers retain does for replacement and
• However, productivity of goats is low with average net commercial off take rate of only 7% and meat remove male goats through sale.
production of 3.3 kg/head/year.
• Demand for goat meat has been rising due to increased local consumption and the growing export
market.

• Data entry and statistical analysis were performed using SPSS version 12 Software package. • Goat pox is a major disease of small ruminants. It is locally known as “Fuso”, and is highly contagious disease of
goats, causing a significant loss in body condition and ends up with death.
• Heart water affects goats in all the three agro ecologies.
Results • Internal parasites are major problems in Moist Dega and Moist Weyina Dega areas and partially in Moist Kola.

• Goats in the Moist Dega agro‐ecology are similar to Arsi‐Bale goats black and grey with some red color,
and goats in the Moist Weyina Dega are fawn, grey and white. • Goats perform better in the Moist Kola under the extensive free foraging management system. However, lack of ac‐
cess to market, poor infrastructure and prevalence of diseases hamper full exploitation of the resource.
• Sidama goat type are bigger in size than the Arsi‐Bale goats, the midland goats found around Dale are in‐
termediate in size. • The emerging small‐scale intensive goat fattening system in the Moist Weyina Dega agro‐ecology is an opportunity to
integrate with the Moist Kola extensive production system.
• Large sized, white colored goats with thick and straight horns have better market demand and value than
the other colored goats. • In Moist Weyina Dega integration of forages into crop production systems especially under sowing legumes like cow‐
pea with chat and desmodium species under enset and coffee crop is important.
• Trypanosomiasis and goat pox are major diseases in the Moist Kola, while heart water and internal parasites are im‐
portant in the Moist Weyina Dega and Dega agro‐ecologies.
• Seasonal mobility of herders to highlands in order to protect their flock from tsetse‐infested areas is an appreciable
strategy.
• Inaccessibility of some areas (Loka Abaya) to markets is a crucial problem and facilitating market access is crucial.
