The RCS initiative aims at bringing IP communication services to a state-of-the-art level of maturity where their
usage would be straightforward and their reach would
be ubiquitous.
Providing VoLTE & RCS services and connecting enterprise customers to these new networks and services is an opportunity for the service providers to enhance their services and generate growth. Surveying ways in which this opportunity can be realized.
Rich Communication Services (RCS) is known to be the next generation of SMS. With the world now more in favor of text messaging, RCS will be able to mimic these enriched features for businesses to engage with customers. Let’s get to know the RCS business more!
OTT & RCS:
Telecom industry is being challenged, it is fighting to stay relevant and business viable, required to continue showing growth and profitability. Challenges from players offering - VoIP, chat, video, SIM less devices, BYOD, and other rich media IP based services present a threat and an opportunity.
Carriers considering their strategy have two paths to consider: Internet based communication OTT and RCS by GSMA. Naturally Pro's and Con's for each solution. risks and benefits going hand in hand.
Yet, to large extent, OTT and RCS are complementary from value proposition and product offering. Considering from within Dual spear head approach can be relevant, effective and tangible tactical approach for many carries , MVNOs, MVNes and OEMs.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

Why is PSN so important for UK government? PSN is the foundation of the government’s ICT strategy, at the heart of shared service and cost reduction agendas. The PSN, which is to be governed by a number of standards and protected by high levels of security will rectify these problems. It will also change the way customers procure products and services, as they will no longer require physical network assets. Instead they will buy services such as storage capacity and software applications as and when required – either alone or combined in packages. The result is flexibility and standardisation, which will together deliver the opportunity for interworking and reduced costs.
Drivers - Public Services Network (PSN) is a change programme driven by a need to save money, integrate and join up services. As well as a desire to create new and innovative business opportunities for public service providers and the suppliers of communication services. The Issue - A plethora of public sector telecoms networks have evolved with varying levels of co-ordination. As a result there is a lack of standardisation and variance in costs; interoperability between organisations and sites can be constrained and inflexible. There is duplication of networks and services across the public sector together with an imperative to save money. PSN Objectives Substantially reduce or eliminate duplicated procurements and expenditure on network and associated services Enable anyone connected to PSN to consume any service and access any data that they have the right to from anywhere on PSN Establish a unified market aligned to wider market investments Generate competition and innovation in the provision of public sector telecoms Enable new and creative ways of joining up and delivering shared public services UNCLASSIFIED
PSN customers, suppliers and services must meet PSN technical, security and service management standards. By applying a standards based approach, with assurance through a compliance and accreditation regime, PSN will be incrementally delivered. Some core network services either are or will be delivered centrally: GCN, DNS, PKI, Interconnects WANs can connect directly to DNSPs (without going through a PSNSP) Capabilities: GCF MTCF PSN Connectivity PSN Services
