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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

duties for the position the company is trying to fill

33. Highlight Posting
• Read the Job Posting from beginning to end
– Select and highlight the top ten (10) items from
the entire posting that you feel the employer is
looking for in a qualified candidate.
• Note: These selections from you are subjective and
may not reflect 100% of what the employer is looking
for.
– Now look at your resume…how many of the top
ten items that you selected for this position are
reflected in your resume and cover letter?

42. Resumes
• Never list the dates of graduation
– Example: University of Missouri St Louis, 1982
• Be careful on stressing “many, many, many” years of experience
– Example: Over 30 years of experience as a ……
• Use only the last 10 years of work experience
– Rule of thumb: If you need to identify specific experience for a specific
position, 15 years or less may be identified on your resume. Focus on
what the employer needs.
• Use up-to-date descriptions of job duties and skills
– Example: Secretary should be listed as an Administrative Professional
• www.quintcareers.com has an excellent listing of up to date terms.
• Emphasize Capabilities versus Experience
– Focus on the capabilities you acquired during your work life
Free Powerpoint Templates
Workforce Development Professionals Improving LivesPage 42
43. Interviews
• Send up-to-date visual message with appearance and dress
– Don’t wear dated clothes/hairstyles/etc.
• Use up-to-date jargon.
• Find out what the latest “buzz” words are for your industry.
• Don’t act like a know-it-all
– Unfortunately, many employers shy away from hiring seasoned people
because these pros are perceived as inflexible, over-trained and worst
of all, think they know everything about everything!
• Note that you believe in constant learning, seeking out opportunities
for new skills-information. You do not have weaknesses that you
can identify because when you find something you are not familiar
with or sure of you take steps to learn and improve your skills set.
You take a view of Constant Improvement or Life Long Learner.

44. Mindset
• Whether you are under 30 or over 50 or somewhere in between jobseekers
risk being view as out of date if they are not keeping up with technology.
– Job search strategies have changed from as little as 18 months ago.
We must look at what is effective now not what has been “successful” in
the past!
– Widespread use of the internet and social media has dramatically
changed the mindset of recruiters and employers.
– “Being a Missing Person”
• I’ve recently met several individuals who were proud that if you
“Google” them, they were nowhere to be found. When I asked them
why they weren’t participating in internet savvy world they said “I’m
protecting my privacy”. This makes them a missing person!
• Employers can only assume this person is out of touch with today’s
technology and does not understand how the internet works.
