Event Driven Supply Chain - A methodology of transformation enabled by complex event processing technology, providing a platform for enhanced supply chain collaboration. The solution provides a mechanism for automation in strategic and tactical decision making by correlating real-time events of individual players of the chain.
This paper seeks to explore applications of the Complex Event Processing technology in monitoring, managing and enhancing future Supply Chains, through real-time correlation of events, timely reaction and response to business scenarios, incidents and exceptions, and real-time routing of alerts and incidents to people within organizational hierarchies. The idea is to reduce latency in decision making through a proactive intelligent system that works like the human mind, captures the situational snapshot of the enterprise at any moment in time and maximizes business benefi t through the ability to respond to a business situation in the shortest possible time.
As the price of storage and bandwidth continues to drop fast, Cloud-based services are becoming more and more attractive to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) which are seeking to reduce licensing costs, avoid recruiting IT staff and focus fully on their core responsibility - growing the business.

The benefits of employing virtualization in the corporate data center are compelling – lower operating
costs, better resource utilization, increased availability of critical infrastructure to name just a few. It is an
apparent “no brainer” which explains why so many organizations are jumping on the bandwagon. Industry
analysts estimate that between 60 and 80 percent of IT departments are actively working on server
consolidation projects using virtualization. But what are the challenges for operations and security staff
when it comes to management and ensuring the security of the new virtual enterprise? With new
technology, complexity and invariably new management challenges generally follow.
Over the last 18 months, Prism Microsystems, a leading security information and event management
(SIEM) vendor, working closely with a set of early adopter customers and prospects, has been working on
extending the capability of EventTracker to provide deep support for virtualization, enabling our customers
to get the same level of security for the virtualized enterprise as they have for their non-virtualized
enterprise. This White Paper examines the technology and management challenges that result from
virtualization, and how EventTracker addresses them.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).

Pcms vs paper
1. Safety at Work
Permit-to-work systems…
electronic or paper?
First of all let’s be clear about what we mean by an electronic
permit-to-work system. There is widespread misunderstanding
and confusion about this term. Some folk understand this to
mean that it simply refers to the use of a computer as a means
of generating and printing a paper permit, rather than having
to rely on doing this work entirely by hand, in effect, merely an
“electronic form” of a paper permit. Whereas, in reality, an
electronic permit to work system, like aSap’s PCMS
(www.safetyapplication.com) is something entirely more relevant to
modern business needs.
By harnessing the power and ease of use of modern
technology and advanced application software development,
aligned with best safety practice and risk assessment
techniques, the advantages offered by this particular electronic
permit-to-work system transcends the simple process of
raising and issuing of permits. Just as importantly, it provides
the necessary interface and means of access to a whole
spectrum of safety-related management information, as well
as providing the impetus and behaviour to underpin an
effective and efficient safety culture and operational regime. A
far cry, indeed, from the obviously inherent limitations of a
paper-based system.
“An electronic permit to
So why change from a paper based system? A sentiment often
work system, like aSap’s
expressed runs along the lines of: “We’ve managed with our
PCMS, is something entirely paper-based system for years, why should we change?” or, “If
more relevant to modern it’s not broken, why fix it?” These are perfectly reasonable
business needs.” opinions if the business is small and relatively simple to run.
The reasons why some companies may resist adopting an
electronic permit-to-work system vary. This attitude could
stem from one or more of the following:
Apathy (We can’t be bothered to see if we can improve things and we
don’t really care)
Complacency (We’ve never had a problem, we’ve a good system already,
so it does not apply to us)
Cynicism (It’s not for us, it offers no advantages over what we do now)
Techno phobia (This new-fangled stuff…it’s too technical, complex,
difficult for our people)
Averse to change (We are unwilling and reticent to embrace new ideas)
Expense (We can’t afford or justify the cost of the investment, we prefer to
ignore any costs associated with wasted operational delays or safety incidents)
www.safetyapplication.com Page 1 of 3
2. Safety at Work
But for any business that involves potential physical and
commercial risks that are associated with the nature of their
operation (for example, the use of electricity, gas, water,
working at height or confined spaces, machinery, high
temperatures, pollutants, hazardous materials and substances,
fire and explosion hazards, etc) the issues surrounding safety
and risk management requires more insight and stronger
leadership.
So what has changed over the years to make this subject
particularly relevant? Here are some of the key conditions that
have influenced the pattern of the way that organisations now
do business:
The advances in computer and communications technology
that allow businesses to operate more efficiently
Global market dynamics have spawned more stringent
business practices. As we know, the fallout from the Enron
and WorldCom experiences gave rise to the requirement for
more verifiable corporate business activity as enshrined in
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Turnbull Report and Basel II,
etc. Although these are primarily financial guidelines, they
nonetheless have a bearing on other aspects of the way
companies operate, including the way they manage their
health and safety at work policy. For example, this extract
from the Turnbull Report, states:
“…directors should, at least annually, conduct a review of the
“ Issues surrounding effectiveness of the …system of internal control and should
safety and risk report to shareholders that they have done so. The review
management requires should cover all controls, including financial, operational and
more insight and stronger compliance controls and risk management”
leadership.” Source: ‘Internal Control: Guidance for Directors on the Combined Code’
published by The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and
Wales.
More far-reaching health and safety at work directives as a
result of EU legislation
A more litigious accident/incident ‘claims’ culture
As the global market ‘ripple effect’ cascades, the foregoing is
not just relevant to large international enterprises, but also to
smaller companies that supply corporate customers, with the
resultant potential impact on the well-being of their businesses.
The following table compares the features, attributes and
benefits between aSap’s PCMS electronic permit-to-work system
and a ‘traditional’ paper-based permit system.
