Cisco's Tactical Operations (TacOps) team provides emergency network support after disasters. At the 2012 Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado, TacOps deployed a mesh wireless network to support over 100 incident management team staff and provide open internet access to 500 firefighters. The network enabled critical communications and data sharing via tools like social media and GIS. However, challenges included spectrum management issues and a lack of awareness about non-radio network needs. Going forward, emergency response networks will be as important as radio communications, using multiple modes like video, VoIP and apps on people's smartphones.

What could kill NSTIC? A friendly threat assessment in 3 parts.Phil Wolff
At two events 18-months apart, teams of suits, geeks, and wonks (industry experts, technologists, public policy analysts) brainstormed and scored what could lead to failure of NSTIC, an international effort to create an identity ecosystem. The whitepaper at http://pde.cc/nsticrisks recaps the long list of potential threats, a shorter list of preventive strategies, compares the 2011 and 2012 events, and names the two greatest threats: poor user experience (harming trust, adoption, use) and imbalance among the forces tying the identity ecosystem together.
Project originally done in 2004 for a National Planners Group, represented at the World Future Society General Assembly, and again in 2012 for a confidential federal contractor company.
In November 2011 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, the General Assembly was briefed on the progress of Global Pulse, a UN innovation initiative harnessing real-time data and new technologies ("Big Data") to protect vulnerable populations. This book is a record of that event and presents 1) emerging techniques in information technology that make Global Pulse possible, 2) preparatory work in Indonesia and Uganda for launch of the first Pulse Labs, 3) the results of five research projects to test concepts underlying the application of real-time data and global development and 4) the roadmap for UN Global Pulse

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.
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
