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.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

Summary
I have twenty years experience in a wide range of energy and
environmental management consultancy projects, having held
positions with Consulting Engineers, Local Authorities, private
sector energy consultants, Government-funded organisations and in
full-time energy management roles. I have been based in the UK
throughout my career, but I have worked on energy-related projects
in Europe and Asia.
I am confident in my abilities and have an approachable and
trustworthy manner that allows me to deal with projects and
problems with clarity and calmness. I can apply my energy and
environmental skills to any situation and have always found ways to
improve performance and/or reduce costs; whether I find myself in
a massive Beijing tyre manufacturer or a hotel in central London.
As a committed and passionate environmentalist; it is very important to me that I conduct myself
in a professional manner and demonstrate high ethical standards. I am known for my honesty
and desire to present the best solutions for all clients as well as the environment. I am a
competitive person and it is very important to me that I deliver meaningful, practical solutions
that make sense and are in line with the four pillars of sustainability (economic, environmental,
social and cultural).

Managing Director of Green Bridge
11th July 2011 - present
I have brought my skills and experience to bear on identifying and delivering energy efficiency-
driven cost saving solutions. To enable me to use a verifiable framework to deliver this work I
have become an ISO50001 Internal Auditor through BSi. My preference is to help organisations
prioritise their energy saving initiatives rather than audit their performance, but the auditor
course has allowed me to become conversant with exactly what an auditor would look for, which
means accreditation and ongoing compliance is assured.
A selection of the work undertaken since starting Green Bridge is shown below:
Energy Performance in Luxury Residential Development – I was commissioned to audit a
development of 21 luxury flats (price range between £4M and £6.5M) to identify efficiency,
renewable and low carbon opportunities to save money, energy and carbon for the residents. I
am in discussions for Phase , which will be to implement the prioritised recommendations.
2. Phil Evans
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive Tracking – Working for a Fund Manager with a UK-wide
portfolio, I collated existing Energy Performance Certificates and Air Conditioning Inspections.
The need for EPCs etc was prioritised and an action plan developed to produce new or, renew
existing certificates. Buildings with poor ratings are being targeted for energy efficiency
improvements and retrofitting of energy saving technologies to enhance the overall energy
performance of the building. It is vital that my client can offer high quality rentable
space/buildings and EPCs are now seen as one of the differentiators to achieve that.
ISo50001 Energy Management System Gap Analysis – I reviewed the existing environmental and
carbon management practices of a large rail transportation organisation and assessed the work
involved to move into an ISo50001 framework.
High-end Car Manufacturer EU Emissions Trading Scheme Procedural Audits – I undertook a series
of audits of the in-house practices for data collection, collation and presentation to identify time
and labour-saving improvements.
Prestige High Street Retailer Air Conditioning Inspections – As an accredited ACI, I have conducted
a number of inspections and produced the associated reports to ensure that my client is
compliant with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, thereby avoiding fines and
significant negative publicity that would damage its image as a proponent of sustainability.
Head of Energy and Environmental Services at Westway Services Ltd
March 2010 – June 2011
I developed a range of energy and environmental services to complement and enhance the core
engineering and maintenance skills of Westway. These services were designed primarily to
facilitate growth of the core business.
I was Director of a £1,500,000 project to install ~700 wireless energy management systems,
overseeing a team including ~50 installation engineers. The calculated payback on this project
was less than two years.
I secured a contract to produce air conditioning inspection reports for a prestigious high street
retailer. The agreement was that Westway would be one of two companies responsible for
implementing energy saving improvements. The conservative estimation of potential
improvements was £2,500,000 across the entire estate. The estimated payback on the
investment was between one and two years.
Associate Director Energy Management & Engineering at CBRE
February 2008 - March 2010
I worked within the Building Consultancy Group of CBRE and my remit was to develop a new
energy-focused service line. The aim was to ensure our clients were compliant with energy and
environmental legislation; to help them achieve their own corporate commitments and control
their costs, consumption and carbon emissions. I exceeded my financial targets and took control
of energy engineering services for the whole of the UK, even though it had been previously been
considered to have minimal profit potential. This move increased the fee earning potential to
over £1M p.a.
I demonstrated that the need for good energy management is more important than ever as it is a
means to control costs as well as ensuring compliance with the increasing amount of
3. Phil Evans
environmental legislation. The model I developed is still being used as a business differentiator in
a market that continues to increase in competitiveness.
Senior Energy Manager at EMCOR Facilities Services
October 2006 - February 2008
I provided a full range of energy management services and support to the European Operations
Energy Manager on our GSK Account. I was identified as a candidate for the EMCOR Senior
Management “Talent Programme” which meant additional training and exposure to a wider
range of business management functions, such as business development, accounting and
finance, leadership skills, project management etc.
The Director of Energy recognised my commercial skills and urged me to focus my attention on
business development and management, as he believed they were where my main strengths
were. I produced a business development plan for submission by the Director of Energy to the
CEO to justify the expansion of the existing energy business through organic growth, strategic
partnerships and acquisition. This meant considerable market research into the current energy
market, including competitor analysis, assessing changing customer needs/priorities and
expressing this information using PESTLE and SWOT analysis, amongst others.
This research confirmed my belief that an organisation that has engineering and technical
capabilities as their core business is ideally positioned to put energy at the heart of the business,
thereby demonstrating a clear business differentiator from its competitors.
Energy & Environmental Manager at Imperial College London
July 2003 - October 2006
I developed energy and environmental strategies and policies to ensure the College was
compliant with legislation and the requirements of students, academics and estates staff. I was
responsible for the development and delivery of the College-wide awareness campaign, which
ultimately led to me being receiving the ‘Hero of the Year’ Award – something never achieved by
an estates staff member before.
I was responsible for the £22M energy budget, which was spent across eight campuses, which
comprised eight campuses, ~350 buildings, 500,000sqm of floor space. It is one of the largest
academic institutions in the UK with 12,000 students and 6,000 staff.
I coordinated the efforts of the outsourced Utility Bureau Service Provider and was the
appointed ‘Responsible Person’ for the South Kensington Campus Combined Heat and Power
plant and our involvement with the CHPQA.
During my time at Imperial, I identified over £2,500,000 of energy-related savings, with a further
£5,000,000 ongoing savings from proposed improvements to refurbishments and new build
projects.
Senior Energy Consultant at Johnson Controls Limited
September 2001 - July 2003
I managed energy efficiency-related projects for JCL's extensive client base and developing new
business. I was the energy efficiency good practice adviser to JCL Facility Managers.
Consultant/Project Manager at AEA Technology
4. Phil Evans
September 1998 - September 2001
I was part of the International Consultancy Team, concentrating on projects that required energy
surveys/audits and M&T experience. I was responsible for ETSU's energy efficiency work in the
technology of boilers and heat distribution systems, which was at that time, known as the Energy
Efficiency Best Practice Programme (The forerunner of The Carbon Trust).
Bureau Manager at EnTech Energy Consultants
June 1997 - September 1998
Full responsibility for monitoring and targeting of 1200 sites of a major high street retailer,
leading to the identification of retrospective and projected savings via invoice data and tariff
analysis. I undertook surveys of energy inefficient sites including commercial, retail and
residential properties.

April 1989 - September 1992
My first job after leaving school. It was during this time, whilst working with M&E design
engineers and attending day-release College, that it became apparent that my talent and
enthusiasm lent itself to the energy and environmental sector.

Interests
SCUBA diving & Underwater Photography – I have been lucky enough to dive in exotic locations
throughout the world, which I appreciate every time I dive in the UK.
I played rugby for 20 years in south Wales and for whichever local club was closest as I moved
around the country for work. Since retiring, I now confine myself to supporting from the comfort
of my armchair and occasional live matches during the Six Nations. I have become one of the
3,000,000 Welsh rugby ‘Armchair Experts’.
