The Insurance of Things - How IoT Will Disrupt The Insurance IndustryAtooma Inc
Thanks to the technological convergence which the Internet of Things is, a lot of data is being generated by people and objects. But Big Data is valuable only as long as it is actionable. This amount of available data can and will have a strong impact on every industry in the next few years, providing new opportunities to improve business intelligence and make smarter decisions.
Business insider estimates that there will be 18 billion connected devices by 2018. While considering IoT on a consumer level, Strategy Analytics claims we will have 4,3 smart devices per person on the planet by 2020. Such a horizontal distribution of the internet of things allows insurance companies to estabilish a new dialogue with their customers. On the other hand, it will allow them to design tailor made solutions based on internet of things based analytics.

Insurtech.news - INSIGHT: INSURANCE INTERNET OF THINGS INDUSTRY SURVEYInsurtechNews.com
At the beginning of the year, everyone is looking at how to identify the crucial elements of change that will affect their business in the next twelve months. Discussions from CES 2016 showed that the attention for a lot of companies has turned to connected devices and the internet of things. There are next-gen refrigerators that look like smartphones, smart shoes that track your running habits, and autonomous vehicles that drive for you – that’s just to name a few! But, what we need to ask is who this digital ecosystem is going to affect and what players are being left out of critical first steps of IoT deployment. Recently, FC Business Intelligence asked over 300 insurers what they think the internet of things could deliver for their business. Take a look at the survey infographic featuring insight in to the applications of IoT for insurers for exclusive insight.

The IoT Insurance Observatory is a four year old think tank specialized in insurance IoT
The Observatory generates and promotes innovation in the insurance sector: representing the cutting edge of global innovation; offering a strategic vision to exploit the insurance IoT full potential; stimulating research and debate between the participants.
Digital technology has changed how people shop, bank, travel, and live. Real-time location services, free global communications, and information on demand have become the norm, raising consumer expectations for more personalized customer experiences, when and where they want them. The insurance industry is no exception, as heightened consumer expectations are driving innovation and creating opportunities for new entrants to challenge industry bellwethers. As a result, consumer-facing industries have had to adapt or perish.
Many insurers are struggling to enhance their customer experience while facing stiff competition from digital savvy, data-intensive, agile insurtech companies. The digital disruption is radically altering how insurance is bought, distributed, serviced, commercialized, and ultimately, perceived by the general public. The result is the emergence of insurtech companies engaging customers in ways traditional insurance companies have never offered before.
The traditional model of insuring customers for specific events (or circumstances) is being supplanted by a new model based on a lifecycle of customer needs. Equally important is the capability to go from responsive to predictive practices more accurate than conventional actuarial techniques.
The enabler of these new capabilities is effectively leveraging the expanding quantities, sources, and distributions of data. Doing so requires innovative data-driven technologies designed to discover and integrate this data with semantically enriched data fabrics that strengthen the insurance industry’s fundamental use cases—making new ones possible.
The paper provides a concrete and pragmatic view of the smart home opportunity for insurers: a deep-dive into key aspects of the smart home trend, the implications for the US home insurance market, and into customer preferences. The paper concludes with a list of “must-have” elements for an insurer in order to deliver the promise of a smart home value proposition.

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.

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.
