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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

6. • 80% of COOs highlighted the need for predictive operations in their enterprises within the
next two years. However, accessing and provisioning the data needed remained the
biggest technical barrier, in achieving this vision.
• Airlines and airports have typically relied on monolithic systems to achieve
interconnectedness and data integration. While data integration systems have been
developed to achieve shared data and to connect separate systems, such as AODB,
today’s marketplace need is more dynamic—requiring nimbler systems that can scale as
per market demand.
• As data volumes increase significantly, cloud potential is massive, across areas such as
passenger handling (esp. as PAX throughput ramps up), real-time crew collaboration,
cargo operations to increase turnaround times, predictive MRO, real-time inventory and
theft management and predictive F&B operations in-flight.

13. • 73% of airline CMOs and CSOs desire multi-channel capability to target consumers.
Additionally, 70% of CMOs/CSOs desire the ability to dynamically innovate their offerings,
i.e., innovate new products and packages during new time periods.
• Today, as companies seek to target consumers ‘on-the-go’, focus on direct channel
capabilities (omnichannel), especially mobile, remains high. However, current legacy
systems are limited in their ability to dynamically construct such offers—requiring
incumbents to seek intelligent, scalable solutions such as cloud.
• At the same time, it is imperative to have an ecosystem focus, for example the ability to
cross-collaborate with other entities to develop interoperable solutions. Cloud will also
enable the airline to be closer to MAAGs and Meta search engines (by having apps on the
cloud) and unlock the full potential of online shopping and e-commerce engines.

16. • Today, historical data in revenue management is
less powerful than before. However, the
fundamental principles underlying revenue
management remain valid.
• With passenger volumes down, traffic mix has
shifted more toward leisure, VFR, and shorter
haul business. Identifying key attributes and
leverage these in differentiated product
offerings will give airlines more chances at
meaningful segmentation opportunities.
However, the data challenges will also increase.
• The cloud allows more holistic and integrated
near-term pricing and longer-term
developments to harness improved offer
capabilities and new order capabilities.

20. • In an environment where long-haul travel is under severe pressure (especially business
travel), it is important to tackle depleting margins through technology. A key play is
ancillary revenue, and airlines’ ability to offer more choices to customers, by playing the
role of a retailer.
• As NDC takes flight, airlines will have more control over offer construction and retailing.
• Cloud can overcome current limitations and chart the journey towards ‘Airline as a
marketplace,’ to capture loyalty. The vision of being the ‘Amazon of the sky’ is possible, by
integrating e-commerce solutions with duty free and in-flight inventory, for end-to-end
experience.
• Cloud also has great potential in full content agreements with external partners (e.g.,
GDS). Historically, full content agreements were always a legal challenge, with significant
associated time and costs. Cloud can help relieve these cost pressures.
