How to Make a Unicorn: Finding Cybersecurity Talent in the Real World (Boston)Franklin Mosley
Another day, another high-profile security incident. Forty percent of all data breach incidents occur from attacks on web applications. With DevOps accelerating the pace at which software is developed and deployed, it’s critical to integrate proper security thinking into the DevOps process. Without this, rapid software development can introduce security flaws.
The cybersecurity labor crunch is expected to hit 3.5 million unfilled jobs by 2021. So where do you turn for help when the demand for qualified cybersecurity professionals is high, but the supply is low?
In addition, all security professionals aren’t created equal. How do you identify the security skills needed in DevSecOps?
AppSec engineers have been called unicorns, and in this talk we will make these mythical creatures a reality and discuss:
* The skills needed to be a successful AppSec engineer
* Scenarios in which these skills are used in DevSecOps
* How to identify and groom talent within your own organization
* Ways to scale your team

Feature Engineering - Getting most out of data for predictive modelsGabriel Moreira
How should data be preprocessed for use in machine learning algorithms? How to identify the most predictive attributes of a dataset? What features can generate to improve the accuracy of a model?
Feature Engineering is the process of extracting and selecting, from raw data, features that can be used effectively in predictive models. As the quality of the features greatly influences the quality of the results, knowing the main techniques and pitfalls will help you to succeed in the use of machine learning in your projects.
In this talk, we will present methods and techniques that allow us to extract the maximum potential of the features of a dataset, increasing flexibility, simplicity and accuracy of the models. The analysis of the distribution of features and their correlations, the transformation of numeric attributes (such as scaling, normalization, log-based transformation, binning), categorical attributes (such as one-hot encoding, feature hashing, Temporal (date / time), and free-text attributes (text vectorization, topic modeling).
Python, Python, Scikit-learn, and Spark SQL examples will be presented and how to use domain knowledge and intuition to select and generate features relevant to predictive models.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
