NFC: Shaping the Future of the Connected Customer ExperienceNFC Forum
This presentation was delivered March 8, 2017 at RETAILTECH JAPAN by Koichi Tagawa, Chairman, NFC Forum, Sony.
Technology is reshaping the face and function of the traditional brick-and-mortar store, forever changing shopping as we know it. NFC-enabled mobile payments and tags are the latest must-have accessories. Forward-thinking retailers are pushing the boundaries to further engage shoppers—often with nothing more than a simple touch, tap, or swipe. NFC, the technology link between the physical and digital world, is helping build a stronger, more meaningful—and therefore more profitable—relationships with customers. NFC-enabled industries, including transport, automotive and IoT, are opening new doors for retailers. All with a simple tap, consumers can make NFC-enabled transactions using a wearable, their car dashboard, or in an NFC-enabled train station. This presentation will highlight how the growth of NFC is leading to “retail anywhere” NFC-enabled applications. The presentation will spotlight NFC use cases in the Internet of Things, Transportation, Automotive markets and examine the future of NFC-based product innovation.

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).
