GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Managing Photos, iCloud and cloud storage
iCloud Photo Library
1. iCloud Photo Library is a sharing/syncing service, not an archival service. See
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204264 and https://support.apple.com/en-
us/HT204570.
2. iCloud Photo Library allows you to upload all of your full resolution photos to iCloud,
then pushes back the entire library in either full resolution or optimized form to all
devices and computers that are signed into the same iCloud account (if iCloud Photo
Library is turned on).
3. To turn on iCloud Photo Library: [Your Name] Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store >
iCloud > Photos > iCloud Photos [be sure the slider shows green].
4. If you want optimized (compressed) photos on your devices (to save space) be sure to
turn on Settings > [Your Name] Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store > iCloud > Photos >
Optimize iPhone Storage.
5. On the Settings > [Your Name] Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes & App Store > iCloud > Photos
screen select both the Upload to My Photo Stream in addition to the Optimize iPhone
Storage option to upload images from a device and replace them with optimized
versions.
6. Any change you make to a photo anywhere (on a device with iCloud Photo Library
turned on) is changed everywhere. That includes deleting photos.
7. When iCloud Photo Library is turned on Camera Roll is replaced with the All Photos
album.
8. When you turn on iCloud Photo Library, all photos from My Photo Stream are added to
the All Photos album. Normally My Photo Stream includes the last 1,000 photos or the
last 30 days of photos taken on any of your connected devices, whichever is greater.
9. Use the Photo app to delete photos (once iCloud Photo Library is turned on). If you need
to undelete, you can do so for 30 days from the Deleted Photos album.
10. With any iCloud share/sync service (like Photos, Contacts, Notes, etc.), all original data is
stored in a single location (iCloud), but you can access it from any device (desktop,
Figure 6 Left to Right: Previous page, Next Page, Share, Bookmarks
and Tab View icons.
6. 6 | P a g e
laptop, iPhone or iPad). Anything you do to photos, notes, contacts, documents etc. on
any device updates the source location (iCloud).
iCloud Photo Sharing
1. iCloud Photo Sharing enables you to create groups of images (in a single folder) to share
individually with others or on a public webpage (viewers must have web address to
view).
iCloud Drive
1. Used to store files that are synced across all your iCloud enabled devices. See
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201104.
2. With iCloud Drive, you can store all your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and
any other kinds of files in iCloud — and access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch,
Mac, or PC.
3. Edits made on one iCloud drive enabled device are automatically reflected on all your
other devices.
4. You can search by name, date or tags (that you add) for any iCloud Drive file.
5. If iOS or Mac OS recognizes the app and you have it installed, selecting it on the iCloud
Drive opens the document.
6. If you’ve enabled all the options for iCloud Drive and the icon does not appear on your
device’s home screen, go to the App Store, search for iCloud Drive and download it. You
may have deleted it earlier. It’s one of many stock apps that you can delete in iOS 10 but
couldn’t in earlier versions.
Memories
1. Memories scans your library of photos to create a collection of memories based on
location, time and the people in your photos.
2. New memories may appear daily under the For You tab (in the Photos app).
People: All Your People in One Space
1. Uses facial recognition to create Albums of People.
2. Initially may take a significant amount of time to index all images. It will index only when
your iPad, iPhone or Mac is plugged into power, connected to WiFi and locked (press the
on/off button to lock your device).
3. You can Merge, Hide or mark as Favorites specific people.
4. You can name the person identified.
5. You can add a person based on facial images in Photos > Albums > People.
7. 7 | P a g e
Note: iCloud requires iOS 5 or later on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd generation or later),
iPad Pro, iPad Air or later, iPad or later, or iPad mini or later; a Mac computer with OS X
