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

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.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

• 27 percent of rural population below poverty-line
(less than 1 dollar per day)
• Percentage of Tribal (ST) population : 8.08
6. Faculty-wise enrollment of students
The rate of
participation of women
in engineering courses
from 1969-79 was very
low.
The situation
improved slightly from
1980-87, reaching 9.0 of
the population
Further improvement
seen between 1988-93
The enrollment of
women reached its peak
of 14.05% in 1996 and
the current percentage
is 23% by 2011
7. Engineering: Current position in India
• Engineering traditionally looked upon as a
profession only for men
• From 1 per cent or so in the 1970s, the
enrollment of women for the country as a
whole is now more than 25% per cent in India.
8. Status of women engineers
• Gender factors typical to women restrict
higher education and job opportunities for
women engineers
• Difficulty in being accepted as equals in a
male-dominated profession and difficulty in
rising to the top
• There is discrimination against women that
sometimes operates in subtle ways
9. A quick glance of Women Engineers in India
Women enrolment of total enrolment 22.2%
Graduates 15.43
Largest presence in Electronics Engineering 37.1
Technical educational institutions 29.8
Teaching 31.8
10. A quick glance of Women Engineers in India
• Mostly in teaching jobs
• Very low presence in other capacities
• Upper Level Managerial positions are too less
• Women engineers hardly at the head of
professional bodies or recognized with any
prestigious awards.
11. Prospects of Engineering for Rural Women
• Even this limited picture of engineering and
technology education and profession primarily
an urban phenomena in India
• So what are the prospects for rural women in
the engineering and technology sphere in
India?
• 70% Indian population resides in rural areas. A
majority of Indian women live in the rural
areas.
12. Orissa State at a Glance
• Area: 1,55,000 Sq. kms.
• Population : 41,947,358 (41 million) 2011 census
• No. of villages – 47,000
• Rural population : 85 percent
• Poverty Rate : 47% (63 percent in rural areas)
• Literacy Rate: Male-72.4% Female-54.4%
13. Engineering Education & Career in Brief in Orissa
• Education and research are the major forefronts of
Orissa.
• The investment for higher education is mainly done
by the state government and private sector.
• The learning system in Orissa has provided a base to
various engineering colleges and professional
institutes.
• There is a plethora of top engineering colleges in
Orissa providing modern and qualitative educational
facilities.
• The top engineering colleges in Orissa offers highly
qualified a faculty with top placement records for the
engineering aspirants.

17. Enrolment and retention
In spite of all these efforts by government and private
sector….
• Participation of rural girls in higher education continues to
be low and negligible in engineering and technology
sphere.
• The drop out rate is higher among girls in
primary, secondary and higher education
• Gender gap is less at primary level and higher in higher
levels.
18. The Barriers :
Economic Social
• High admission fees • Family Background
•Difficulty in getting job • Results in early marriages, early
• Reluctance of employers to give motherhood engaging girls in child
jobs to women bearing and rearing roles rather than
• Less promotions in education
• Less salaries as compared to men • Family takes a priority over career
• Less professional recognition ambitions
Other Factors
•Less awareness
•Less willing to travel
• Less willing to relocate or shift base
•Mutual Career Priorities Competition
between Wives & Husbands
19. Rural women/girls largely excluded
• Many schemes and programs for enhancing women’s
presence and participation in engineering education
and profession from time to time
• But benefits have been restricted to the urban areas
and have not been very effective for rural women.
• Rural women remain largely excluded from
engineering and technology education and
employment in Orissa / India.
