[cb22] "The Present and Future of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure" Inter...CODE BLUE
While hackers have known the importance of sharing research to improve security for years, the importance of coordinated vulnerability disclosure is increasingly recognized by governments around the world. The principals of disclosure an protecting security researchers are common across borders, but different countries have some key differences. This panel will present a global perspective that may in turn inform key public policy and company behavior.
ENISA has published 'Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure policies in the EU' in April 2022 . This report not only provides an objective introduction to the current state of coordinated vulnerability disclosure policies in the Member States of the European Union, but also introduces the operation of vulnerability disclosure in China, Japan and the USA. Based on these findings, the desirable and good practice elements of a coordinated vulnerability disclosure process are examined, followed by a discussion of the challenges and issues.
This session aims to share the contents of this report and clarify the challenges and future direction of operations in Japan, as well as national security and vulnerability handling issues in the US, in a panel discussion with representatives from various jurisdictions.
The panelists are involved in the practice of early warning partnership notified bodies in Japan, the authors of the above report in Europe and the contributors to the above report in the US.
In Japan, the issues of system awareness, incentives, increase in the number of outstanding cases in handling and so-called triage in handling vulnerabilities will be introduced.
From the United States, the Vulnerabilities Equities Process for National Security and the publication of a non-prosecution policy for vulnerability research will be introduced, as well as a historical background on the issue.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Role of the Federal Office for Civil Protection
! Chairing the CIP Working Group
! Coordination of the activities based
on the national strategy
Aim and purpose of the CIP Programme
• Development of uniform approach
• Creation of joint basic documents
• Facilitation of dialogue and collaboration
• Protection of the population and its livelihood (Art. 2, Federal CPCD Law)
CIP Programme in Switzerland
3. 5Federal Office for Civil Protection FOCP
National CIP Strategy 2012
Strategic Goal
Basic Principles
• Comprehensive risk-based approach
• Proportionality of measures
• Responsibility of the actors on every level
• Public-private partnership
The national CP strategy aims at improving
the resiliency of critical infrastructures in
Switzerland. It ensures a coordinated and
unified approach of all actors involved.
6Federal Office for Civil Protection FOCP
Resiliency in the National CIP Strategy
Four components of resiliency
1. Robustness of the systems
(CI, state, economy, and society)
2. Availability of redundancies
3. Ability to mobilize effective relief efforts
4. Speed and efficiency of relief efforts
Resilience refers to the ability of a system, an
organization, or a society to withstand internal or
external disruptions and to maintain functionality
as far as possible, or, failing that, to re-attain it.
4. 7Federal Office for Civil Protection FOCP
Measures of the National CIP Strategy
• Improve the general framework of the
cross-sectoral collaboration
• Improve the CI’s resiliency (CI guideline)
• Key points of the strategy
! Identification and compilation of CI objects
(CI-Inventory)
! Establishment of cross-sectoral platforms
! Improving information exchange (incl. risk
analysis and early warning)
! Handling of CI failures (federal support)
• CIP as a permanent process
(inventory, comprehensive protection
concepts, risk dialogue, etc.)

Inventory of Critical Infrastructure Objects
• Aim: Inventory of Swiss Critical Infrastructure objects
! Contribution to the provision of important goods and
services and / or hazard potential
• Purpose: Basis for planning and prioritisation in risk
and disaster management
! Confederation, Cantons, CI operators
• CI Inventory replaces Catalogue to Ensure Basic
Needs (previously operated by the military)
• Extension in terms of CI sectors, operators, threat and
measure spectrum
• Identification of CI objects uses standardised process
• Method elaborated and approved by CIP WG
• 28 committees of relevant actors on national level
10Federal Office for Civil Protection FOCP
Prioritisation process: ID of CI objects
1) Creation of a function structure
2) Determination of relevant object groups
3) Definition of threshold levels
4) Compilation and evaluation of CI objects
a) Output potential
b) Hazard potential
5) Completion with cantonal objects

Conclusion and outlook
• Increasing importance of CIP
• Various actors with diverse interest
• Value added of comprehensive approach
• The aim is not absolute security,
but optimized security
• Resources are increasingly scarce
• Criticality ! vulnerability ! actual threat
• Cross-sector cooperation and coordination
become more and more important
• Cross-country cooperation and coordination as well
