I hope this introductory presentation to ITIL v3 Foundation exam will be very useful to the readers. The time one needs to spend on study depends upon one's experience with ITIL related practices in real world. Nonetheless, it is very simple study, but the exam questions may be trickier than expectation. So, focus on learning ITIL concepts rather than adding ITIL certificate to your resume.

How Your Organization Can Become ISO Certified...It's easier than you thinkITSM Academy, Inc.
This document discusses how an organization can become ISO/IEC 20000 certified for service management. It first introduces ITSM Academy as an educational provider for various ITSM certifications. It then discusses UL DQS as an auditing and certification body. The main points covered include an overview of ISO/IEC 20000 and its requirements, key elements of a service management system, the documentation required, and a typical roadmap and timeline for certification that involves initiation, planning, implementation, checking and continual improvement phases over 12-18 months.
This document provides an overview of ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) which is a set of best practices for IT service management (ITSM). It discusses that ITIL was developed in the late 1980s and has become the leading framework for ITSM globally due to being non-proprietary, non-prescriptive, and providing both best practices and good practices. It then summarizes the key aspects of the ITIL service lifecycle including service strategy, service design, service transition, service operation, and continual service improvement. Finally, it outlines some of the objectives of the service strategy, service design, and service transition stages.
I prepared this document based on a learning material provided by my employer, my aim was to create a document that would serve as a book for those want to understand ITIL Foundation Syllabus before writing the foundation exam (Exam Code - EXO 117). Although this book was edited many times to include only those subjects that were needed the most, the book still is a 146 page document, however reading this book would give you a decent idea about many service management concepts like Incident Management, Change Management, Problem Management etc and will make you exam ready without the help of dumps. Yes, believe me I scored 85% in Exin's EXO 117 Foundation Exam without any dumps. After I gained enough knowledge by preparing this book, I was able to answer many questions correctly in the dumps so I ended up using the dumps only to get a hands on of how the exam user interface will work. My concept is simple, if you want only a certificate, use the dumps, you can start tonight and get certified by tomorrow morning, but what knowledge would you actually possess at the end? To get that knowledge I suggest reading the related books, understanding the concepts, learning with examples and it may take a week, may be a month but at the end you will have the certificate + KNOWLEDGE. Finally just pardon me for any grammatical errors (after all English is not my mother tongue) and typo (I didn't have enough time to check everything), but the book is full of information that would certainly help. Share it with as many people as would like, spread it, gain knowledge and help others to do so as well. All the best.
ITIL, formally an acronym for Information Technology Infrastructure Library, is a set of practices for IT service management (ITSM) that focuses on aligning IT services with the needs of business. In its current form (known as ITIL V3), ITIL is published as a series of five core volumes, each of which covers a different ITSM lifecycle stage. Although ITIL underpins ISO/IEC 20000 (previously BS 15000), the International Service Management Standard for IT service management, there are some differences between the ISO 20000 standard and the ITIL framework.
ITIL describes processes, procedures, tasks, and checklists which are not organization-specific, but can be applied by an organization for establishing integration with the organization's strategy, delivering value, and maintaining a minimum level of competency. It allows the organization to establish a baseline from which it can plan, implement, and measure. It is used to demonstrate compliance and to measure improvement.

The role of an IT PMO as the Voice of IT and its role with Service Level Management will also be discussed as a key enabler to align IT to the business.
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.

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

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

solving process typically used in quality control. It was
made popular by Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Target is on
Continuous Improvement of service.
PLAN - Establish the objectives and processes necessary
to deliver results in accordance with the specifications.
DO - Implement the processes
CHECK - Monitor and evaluate the processes and results
against objectives and Specifications and report the
outcome.
ACT - Apply actions to the outcome for necessary
improvement. This means reviewing all steps (Plan, Do,
Check, Act) and modifying the process to improve it before
its next implementation.

Problem Management - Goals
Minimize the adverse impact of Incidents and Problems on the business
that are caused by errors within the IT Infrastructure,
Seek to identify a permanent resolution to a number or reoccurring
incidents
Prevent recurrence of Incidents related to errors. In order to achieve this
goal, Problem Management seeks to get to the root cause of Incidents
and then initiate actions to improve or correct the situation
Problem Management differs from Incident Management in that its
main goal is the detection of the underlying causes of an Incident and
their subsequent resolution and prevention. The goal of Incident
management is to restore the service to the Customer as quickly as
possible.
