The 2015 U.S. Mobile App Report - COMSCORERomain Fonnier
Digital media time in the U.S. has exploded recently – growing nearly 50 percent in the past two years, with more than three-fourths of that growth directly attributable to the mobile app. Mobile has grown so fast that it’s now the leading digital platform, with total activity on smartphones and tablets accounting for 62 percent of digital media time spent, and apps alone now representing the majority of digital media time at 54 percent.
Why have apps become such a powerful force in our daily media lives? The power of habit. The 2015 U.S. Mobile App Report explores the dynamics of mobile media consumption, audiences, and user habits to understand what’s behind this surge in mobile activity, and how publishers and advertisers can take advantage.
Some key topics covered in the report include:
The implication of mobile apps’ growing share of digital media usage time
The mobile web’s critical role in expanding audience reach
The value of the home screen, how users behave with it, and other consumer habits on smartphones
Deep dives into some of the fastest growing apps, such as Tinder, Uber, Timehop and Fitbit
The key role of social and entertainment apps, and how they account for the majority of users’ app engagement
The top apps among Millennials, and this group’s influence in all facets of app behavior
The effectiveness of mobile advertising, including research on native in-app video ads

Mobile Goes Mainstreet: Consumers Lead the Way — Key Trends and Investment Op...Linda Gridley
The number of smartphone users in the U.S. is consistently growing and the connected user is turning to mobile more and more frequently for everyday consumption. Global mobile data traffic is predicted to increase 26-fold between 2010 and 2015. Smartphone and tablet revenues overtook traditional desktop and laptop revenues in 2013. At the same time, the amount of time users are spending on mobile daily is increasing. Mobile commerce sales are reaching all-time highs, and now represent 12% of total digital commerce, while mobile traffic represent about 40% for major eCommerce retailers such as Amazon, eBay, Apple, and Walmart.
The mobile industry was unquestionably the most important growth channel across digital media. Some of the most important trends we’ve seen in the sector include:
Average mobile (plus tablet) time spend now equal to desktop
Mobile is no longer just for gaming. Growing number
of use cases and apps hitting mass adoption— utilities, productivity,shopping, media & entertainment
Total mobile ad revenue grew twofold in 2013, and still only represents 2% of total ad spend but 12% of total media time spend
Strong M&A and funding environment – First $1bn M&A deal in mobile. Q3’13 was record quarter for mobile
Digital media leaders such as Facebook and Twitter realigned their organizations to mobile over the past two years and now see 40% plus of their revenue from the mobile channel
The evolution of mobile as the next computing platform is just beginning to take shape, bringing new billion market opportunities to the digital media ecosystem. We believe it is still early in this evolution and expect to see new technologies and innovative applications to fuel continued growth over the next five years.

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.

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Editor's Notes
... Play WotW intro 46’ in background via Spotify ... > Now for those of you who aren’t men of a certain age and geeky disposition, that was Richard Burton’s opening lines from the rock-opera version of HG Wells’ War of the Worlds. > If you fast forward the setting by 100 years, substitute planet Earth with the world of magazines, > and cast Apple, Google and Facebook as the alien invaders... > and ok, I know this is a stretch! ... then this is where I believe consumer magazines are today.
But before justifying that claim, a bit of background about myself and my consultancy, Ink on Dead Trees...
> I made 30 specific predictions and recommendations in the report, which I finished in January > Most of these, I am pleased to say, have been borne out in the intervening 5 months...
> Although I have had a few surprises... > However, having written 10,000 words about mobile media strategies, today I just want to focus on two themes which I see as critical
> What are the best ways of generating revenue from your mobile apps? > This is my own classification, ranked in order of what I think are proving to be most sustainable. > Note: These are not exclusive business models - far from it, often combinations are the best > Also: This is a moving feast - sponsorship is still a strong model, especially for iPad apps, because of the novelty factor for advertisers, and publishers’ desire for a fixed income to offset their development costs. > But I see the emergence of two core models: 1) Freemium, with an upsell to an integrated subscription - in other words, combined with online access and/or print. This is co-evolving with the paywall debate, and variants of metered access. Apple has done its best to assert more control over the ecosystem, but is being forced to soften its line and allow publishers to share data. 2) Lead generation, embedded within increasingly sophisticated in-app workflow. > This doesn’t mean there won’t be a place for the other models, but rather that, for most publishers, these will be incremental rather than core
> For the next 12 months, Apple’s iOS will remain the biggest app platform, particularly for paid-apps. > But Android is moving ahead faster, whilst iOS is slowing down > My prediction is that Android will be given a boost by RIM throwing in the towel and deciding that competing in software development with Google just isn’t worth it ...RIM Playbook’s Android compatibility is already a sign of this ...But a possibility that MS throws enough cash to bribe RIM to Windows instead bullet> Microsoft will keep playing a game of catch-up bullet> Apple will remain a ‘profitable niche’ premium mobile brand > So don’t use “platform proliferation” as an excuse for doing nothing - not that complicated
> It is becoming clear that m.sites are primarily a marketing tool, optimising the UX of your brand when they discover your site through mobile search or mobile referral > Mobile apps, with poor discoverability on over-crowded app stores, focus on functionality - enhancing your product offering with location-awareness, workflow, and other smartphone features > The FT is now leading the way into a new wave - html5 based web apps. With similar functionality to mobile apps, but bypassing app store restrictions > But I don’t think this spells the end of app stores for media content - mobile apps can evolve faster, and the major app stores cannot be ignored as marketing channels in their own right
> I think this slide carries huge importance for media owners, on several levels. > If you’re a consumer publisher, Facebook is probably your #1 competitor, given that users spend an average 45 minutes per day on it. > The bad news is that social media fits hand-in-glove with mobile devices and apps. > Facebook’s app is the most-downloaded on iPhone, Android and even on BlackBerry > Add FB’s 80m m.site users to their 170 million active app users, and you get 42% of their 600m global total. > App users are twice as active as non-app users, and over 60% (that’s 100m!) of them are daily users! > Facebook still is adding 2.2m active app users every week . > Facebook - along with Twitter and LinkedIn - is also now a critical channel for media brand discovery > So to survive , you’ve got to follow them on to mobile with a compelling user experience > And to thrive , you have also got to exploit these social platforms for your own viral marketing > Oh, and if you’re a B2B rather than consumer publisher, the mobile picture for Twitter is similar, with LinkedIn some way behind.
> This is a case study for lead generation models... > Who here has used Top Table? > Top Table is a purely online business, although its marketing director is ex-Bauer, and restaurant reviews have of course been a staple of magazines and newspapers. ... bullets ... > Now, this model can be applied to newspaper, and specialist B2B and B2C classified ads > Easy enough to add mapping functionality into your app, plus trackable contact-the-seller options... > Autotrader has already made the leap, with two-thirds of its revenues coming from digital leads, and a growing proportion of those from mobile > Regional publisher Kent News is heading this way too on its iPad app - although only insertion fees so far...
> Turning to freemium and integrated subscription models, the FT is showing the way > The FT operates a paywall on its website and apps, with 10 free articles/month for registered users ... bullets ...
> Perhaps this is unwise in a room full of magazine professionals, but I characterise the approach taken by the majority of magazine publishers with the iPad so far as... - “let’s replicate our print issue, add a few multimedia bells and whistles, and stick with our print pricing.” > This simply doesn’t offer sufficient value to consumers, who are now voting with their wallets. > The collapse in downloads shown on this slide is against a background of soaring #s of iPad devices > Files are too big - they take too long to download and occupy too much space on the device > Apps are too expensive - compared to subscription equivalents, and compared to the £/$3 app price ceiling > This approach also denies the critical role of social media and social sharing: - viral marketing is the future So please... > Don’t even bother with an app-embedded pdf of your issue; will only damage your brand > Reconsider whether the Adobe/InDesign path for app-creation really makes sense > I know I’ve been strident in my views during this presentation, and, on this one, I admit that I could yet be proved wrong. ... In particular... > there may be ways of enabling social sharing in these types of digital issues > and editors and designers are getting better at creating functional, as well as beautiful, iPad apps
