ALTAIR-SIGVI: Descobreix les teves vulnerabilitatsinLabFIB
Actualment els sistemes d’informació són cada vegada més complexos i integren una gran quantitat de solucions software que els permeten oferir serveis cada vegada més diversos. La gestió de les vulnerabilitats de tot el software present en una organització és prioritària si es vol mantenir la seguretat de la mateixa, però pot resultar en una tasca complicada i que requereixi uns recursos dels quals no sempre es disposa. ALTAIR-SIGVI permet monitoritzar els productes software d’una organització i notificar, diàriament, si algun d’aquests productes presenta alguna vulnerabilitat. Aquest servei inclou una base de dades de vulnerabilitats actualitzada diàriament, una eina per inventariar i ofereix la possibilitat de fer auditories.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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

The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.

30. Smart mobility – Traffic forecasting
It is not possible to install sensors in ALL streets.
It is necessary to look for different ways.
Example: Weather forecast
The model makes use of a small set of data and
provides us with detailed information
Meteorological
model
Even more: the model can predict the future
evolution of weather conditions
In the same way as weather, Traffic may be
calculated and predicted from a limited number
of sensors through the use of models
31. Smart mobility: Traffic and travel
forecasting
New generation forecasting models for high-quality traffic and
travel information, short-time real-time predictions
• Current available models and services are useful to provide
information for long-term traffic planning or they provide
information only based on past information.
• New generation forecasting models are required to provide highquality traffic and travel information, specially for short term
predictions used to plan a trip.
Example of applications/projects:
• Electric vehicle trip planning
• Real-time multimodal trip planning, combining different transport
modes

times, with a traffic model, is a complete picture of all the network:
info for all streets, not just main avenues or streets with sensors.
This complete picture is obtained using dynamic traffic flow models
36. Rapid Prototyping for urban design

•
How many?
•
Where to locate them?
Based on research on Location Problems.
37. Decision support systems: Traffic Management
Decision Support System based on the Macro Fundamental Diagram and, through the
proper processing of the data from all detectors, allows to identify on real time the

combination with traffic models, for the implementation of proactive traffic control
strategies.

– Development of data merging models that combine large amounts of data sources
unprecedented in the field of traffic.
