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
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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

1. Basic Videography and Editing
Prepared for KQED
October 17, 2013
Jim Foust jfoust@bgsu.edu
2. Basic Video Stuff
Aspect ratio—the shape of the video screen
4:3 or 16:9 most common
Frame size (resolution)
Given as two numbers with width first
640 x 480; 320 x 240 (4:3)
1920 x 1080; 1280 x 720; 960 x 540; 480 x 270 (16:9)
Higher numbers = higher quality
Sometimes shortened to height and i or p for interlaced or progressive
(720p)
Frame Rate—number of still pix per second
30 “normal” for TV; 20 or less jittery
3. A Little About Compression
Makes video files smaller
By altering resolution, frame rate, pixels, etc.
Often measured by bitrate
Higher bitrate = higher quality = larger file
Common Formats
AVI, MOV
MPEG
FLV (Flash video)
h264
7. Shooting Soundbites
Eyes at top third (or thereabouts)
Lead space in direction they’re looking (frame to left or right third)
Not looking into camera, but looking slightly off camera (both eyes should be
visible; both ears if possible) NO PROFILES!
Shoot in medium shot—head and shoulders
Can be exceptions (wider shots) for artistic purpose
As you go wider, eyes move slightly more toward top of frame, but
always in vicinity of top third
Beware of distracting backgrounds
Only one person in frame
Beware of shooting from high or low angle
13. Depth of Field
Subject distance: the closer the subject is to the
camera, the smaller the depth of field.
14. Depth of Field
Focal length: the more “zoomed in” the smaller the
depth of field.
Video Example
15. Basic Aesthetics
Separation of subject from background
Using depth of field
Being aware of the background
Avoid brick walls, etc.
Moving subject away from the background
Ideally, in event-specific stories, the background should have something
to do with story
16.
17.
18.
19. Lighting
Be aware of light situation
Don’t shoot against windows or other strong light sources
Use natural light to your advantage
Move person around so window shines on them
20. Sound—Technical
Use Lav whenever possible
Beware of background noise
NEVER unrelated background noise
21. Sound—Content
Set expectations beforehand
Tell interviewee a little about finished product
Consider “Tell me about. . .” rather than actually asking
questions
Remember that the story will have to stand on its own without
narrative/questions
24. Lav Mic
Nice long
cable
Removable (and losable) wind
screen
LR-44 watch
battery inside
Power switch: remember to turn
ON when recording and OFF
when done, or it will drain
battery.
