Getting online information to come to you nacaa 2012nacaa
Today we face a problem, not of information scarcity, but an over abundance of information. Getting useful online information to flow to you is critical to keep pace with the explosion of online knowledge.
We often find reliable and interesting sources of information, but find it difficult to keep returning to see what’s been posted recently. RSS feeds and feed readers help deliver up-to-date content from the sources you choose. This session will explain what an RSS feed is, and how you can use a feed reader to aggregate all these updates in one, easy to read, place - and keep them out of your inbox.

Banks won’t succeed if they don’t put the desires of their customers above all else. The current state of the banking industry falls short of expectations for both banks and their customers, yet the market has become increasingly competitive. Whilst the reasons for this vary, falling behind will most likely lead to failure.
Staying relevant is about so much more than just bringing nice interfaces to the end customer. An integrated approach is vital, one that spans the entire user experience and a host of back-end systems and procedures. This is about bringing everything together to create a smart framework that connects all the parts of the bank to optimize the customer experience. That framework is Customer OS and its four pillars are open banking, modular banking, omni-channel banking and smart banking.
An open API strategy and the clever use of data will drive the open and modular banking components. Segmented client experiences across all channels and embracing new technologies will power omni-channel and smart banking.
[Workshop] Analyzing Your Deliverables: Developing the Optimal Documentation ...Scott Abel
Presented by Nicki Bleiel at Documentation and Training LIfe Sciences, June 23-26, 2008 in Indianapolis.
Documentation deliverables have evolved beyond manuals and online help in recent years, and with the emergence of Web 2.0, things are changing faster than ever. Technical communicators have many more options to enhance the user experience, and developing many of them provide the opportunity to work with other departments to find a more holistic approach to content development and delivery. But there is no one-size-fits-all set of solutions. This workshop will review the types of analysis you need to do to determine which deliverables are right for your project, your customer, and your company.
Other factors that can’t be ignored, such as translation needs, staff/time constraints, file size limitations, corporate image and control, and proprietary concerns will also be discussed, including:
Analyzing the Product
* Intended audience; delivery method (desktop, web application, etc.); competitor offerings; software development methodology. The UI as part of the Help system. Product Management expectations.
Identifying User Wants and Needs
* Preferences and expectations for information; work environment; knowledge and experience levels.
Ascertaining Internal Needs and Opportunities
* Working with Training, Support, and Marketing to reduce duplication and provide the user with consistent, useful information.
* Finding ways to incorporate information from other departments to improve documentation.
Accessing Deliverable Options
* What is the optimum mix for the product?
* The traditional: online help, manuals, embedded help, job aids, forums, web sites, technical support knowledgebases.
* Emerging trends: wikis, blogs, RSS feeds, software demonstrations, podcasts, and other collaborative tools. They can supplement and/or enhance the traditional. Or, they may be a better fit for internal knowledge management or marketing use.
Optimizing the Library
* Single-sourcing; best practices for structuring information; continuous publishing

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.

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...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.

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.

70. Coworking?
• Wikipedia - Coworking is the social
gathering of a group of people, who are still
working independently, but who share
values and who are interested in the synergy
that can happen from working with talented
people in the same space.
74. Who’s a Typical Coworker?
Citizen Space Co-Founder - Tara Hunt
“Coworking is about providing affordable, open,
collaborative spaces for people as an
alternative to working from home or from noisy
coffee shops. It’s like an artistic collective with a
technology twist.”

91. Networking Preparation
Don’t get me wrong, networking events are
good and should be part of your sales and
marketing strategy
Have a 30 second, 1 minute and 3 minute
elevator pitch prepared and polished.
92. Referrals
Will be more receptive to working with you
Will be cheaper and require less time to
close (theoretically)
93. How Do you get these
Referrals?
Ask for them.
Ask clients for referrals at the start and end
of a project.
Ask your clients if they have any friends,
associates or colleagues whom they think
might benefit from your services.
94. Why do Clients want to
give You Referrals?
Because you have done such a great job that
they can’t help but to sing your praises.
95. Building Client Trust and
Respect
Under commit and over deliver
Keep your client in the project loop
Regularly check in with them to see how
things are going from their perspective
96. Checking in with your
Client
Ask them if they are happy with the
progress and direction of the project
Ask them if they are happy with you?
Ask them if there have any questions or
concerns.
Ask and they will tell you.
97. Client Management
Remember, you are selling the client a
service.
That service is usually more about holding
their hand during the development process
than it is about the development itself.
You’re the expert and the client is relying on
you to guide them.
98. Client Perspective
They expect you to do what you have
committed to doing
They expect you to complete what you have
committed to doing on time
A client is really paying because they believe
you will take care of them.
They trust you and feel comfortable that
you are the right person for the job.
99. Getting Referrals
Take care of your client
Deliver what you say you will deliver
Deliver it on time
Happy Client == Referrals
100. Ask for Referrals
Ask at the beginning of the relationship
Meet and exceed your clients needs
And ask for referrals again at the end of
the project
If you’ve done a good job the client will
most likely become a promoter and will be
more than happy to provide you with
referrals
101. Contact those Referrals
You’ve done a good job on your client’s
project
And they’ve rewarded you with some
promising referrals
CALL THOSE REFERRALS
102. Follow up with those
Referrals
Stay on top of those referrals
Use a CRM tool (I use http://highrisehq.com/)
103. Thank your client for
the Referrals
Always thank your client for referrals
Show special thanks for referrals that
become clients.
104. Reward clients for
Referrals
Consider rewarding your client when their
referrals convert into paid work
Rewards can be money (a flat rate or a
percentage of the value of the new project)
Rewards can be gifts
Rewards can also be free development hours
105. Ask for Work and
Referrals
While thanking your client for a referral
that has become a new project ask them for
more referrals
Use the opportunity to ask them about their
project
106. Their Project
Are they happy with the application?
Are there things they like/dislike?
Is there something else they would have
liked to have in the application if they’d have
had more time and/or more budget?
There’s a good chance this will turn into
more work.
