GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

My english language learner profile.docx 1 copia
1. My English Language Learner Profile
Personal information:
Hello, my name is Tania Contreras Novoa I am 18 years old and I am Chilean.
Istudied in the municipal high school 'Antonio Salamanca Morales' and I live in
Coronel.In my family we are two brothers and three sisters and I am the first to
enter at University. I live with my mother and I love butterflies also I have a pet
named Amy and I hate my second name!
Foreign languages I know:
The foreign languages I know are the English and French, because in my High
School taught us the basics of these languages with dialogues, workshops, and
guides. I liked these languages so I started to study, getting very good grades as
6,5 and 6,7.
In the tests of the beginning of the year at University I knew my levels of English,
honestly I never realized a test of those so my surprise was great when I was saw
in a very basic level, something contrary to what happened in high school where I
stood out from the rest of my classmates.
These results in the interview were:
Nivel score
A1 46 KET
KET: recognizes the capacity of understanding of written and spoken English at a basic
level.
2. Levels of English that I have thought were:
B1 in listening. A2 in oral expression.
A2 in reading comprehension. B1 in writing.
B1 in oral interaction.
I use these strategies for reading comprehension:
Strategies I use before reading:
. I think about the cover, title and topic.
. I ask questions.
. I skim the pictures, charts and graphs.
. I think about what I know about the topic.
Strategies I use during reading:
. I stop and check to see if I understand what I’m reading.
. I make mental pictures.
. I identify confusing parts.
. I identify unfamiliar words.
. I reread to understand confusing parts and unfamiliar words.
. I record an unfamiliar word that I can’t figure out.
. I use pictures, graphs and charts to help me understand confusing parts.
. I stop and retell to check what I remember.
. I predict and adjust as I read.
. I raise questions and read for answers.
3. Strategies I use after reading:
. I reread favorite parts.
. I reread to find details.
. I picture characters, places and ideas.
. I predict what might happen to a character if the story continued.
I think the factors that can help me to learn English are: the use of books as basic
grammar, straightforward, also make a kind of pocket dictionary where I write these
words I do not understand, besides the multiple strategies mentioned as:
.Metacognitive strategies.
.Use the sense.
.Use the organizational skills.
.Use a variety of resources.
. Use the reading strategy.
. Make the most of my predominant learning style.
The factors I think have prevented me from learning English are:
I think that one of the most important factors in my English learning has been the
music also when I was in high school I had for a year a really good English teacher
who pushed me to learn more and improve my skills.
4. My predominant learning style:
I am visual.
My strategic plan to be successful as a language learner
