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).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Meeting my aims objectives - survey results
1. Meeting my aims objectives and
my survey results
Hayley Ip 11F
2. Aim 1) To widen the Rubik's cube community
• To make at least 3 tutorials for different rubik's
cubes to allow students to learn different ways
(basic and advanced) ways to solve a rubik's cube
and to post them on youtube and to check the
number of viewers.
• Do a survey to ask if viewers had learnt anything
from our tutorials.
• In the same survey, other questions like "are you
new to cubing?" may be asked to know whether
our websites has helped widen the rubik’s
community.
5. Aim 2) To make a timer using visual basic so cubers would be able to time
their solves offline since there are already many timers online available
• To make sure the file can easily be downloaded
(survey)
• To make sure cubers would be able to use the
timer after they have downloaded the program
onto their computer. (produce evidence that the
timer can be used on another computer)
• Make sure the timer is functional and would have
all the necessary buttons, e.g. start, stop, reset
(look at the outcome)
8. Evidence of timer being downloaded
on another computer
This is a photo of the timer program running on my desktop. I have designed the program
on my laptop and downloaded the timer from my website on my desktop and tried it to see
if it worked.
9. Outcome of the timer
• The icon for the timer:
• When running the program:
10. Aim 3) To make a logo for the website
• To give a positive energetic feeling for the audience
(survey)
• To communicate with people who are already
interested in cubes and ask them about their
comments on the logo, for example is the logo suitable
(survey)
• The font should be bold enough so people will know
what company/website name the logo is from (survey)
• The logo should be original and creative so people
would easily recognize it (survey)
• The advert should have all the colours on the rubiks
cube and it should be eye catching (survery)
13. Aim 4) To be able to make a functional website for
possible customers to learn how to cube and to buy
cubes
• To produce research to compare which website is the
most suitable for my purposes
• To produce a survey to ask customers if it was easy to
navigate and have a contact us box so customers would
be able to give feedback
• To make it easy to navigate on the website so there will
be pages on the top for different categories
• Make the website professional and would fit it's
purpose by conducting a survey asking viewers about
the appropriateness of the design, colours, layout of
the website.
14. Evidence of research (comparison with
other possible website builders)
• For more details, please look at my blogpost called
“Researching the website”
15. Evidence of contact us box and tabs for
different pages
These are the tabs for different pages of my website.
If the customer fills in the information below and
their comment, they will directly send an email to me
and I will be able to respond to them.
18. Aim 5) To make sure the logo is appropriate for use
as a digital outcome online
• The outcome can be appropriate for my blog site
and facebook (try posting the logo on these sites)
• The version or filetype is appropriate for my
website (produce research)
• To know how to save different versions of the
same outcome on photoshop (step by step)
• The pixels should be good enough in quality and
the resolution should be quite clear (survey)
19. Evidence of logo on a facebook page
and on my website
• On my website
20. Evidence of logo on a facebook page
and on my website
• On the facebook page
21. Research for which filetype is best for
my website
• JPG: Lossy compression technique to compress colour and grayscale.
Information is discarded that is not detected by human eye. JPG images
supports 16 million colours so it is a filetype for photographs and
complex images. However for logos with a lot lines and letters and
graphics because not a lot of the image can be shrunken in the lossy
process, thus the image would lose clarity and sharpness.
• GIF: it is a lossless compression technique and supports 256 colours. It is
better than JPG for line drawings, black and white images or images with
a few colours.
• PNG: developed from GIFs where the images would load quickly with a
high quality. Saving, restoring and re-saving a PNG image wouldn’t
degrade its quality but it doesn’t support an animation/
• In the end, I chose to use PNG because it is better than JPG since my logo
only has a few colours and there are only straight lines. Also, I didn’t
choose GIF because they have a worser resolution and PNG files would
load faster. Although PNG files do not support animation, my logo is not
an animation so I think it is the best choice.
