Because the entire AWS cloud platform is programmable, it turns out that you can program security and compliance in advance of actually instantiating any actual workloads. In this session, we show how you can design a secure and compliant workload and even have it audited by a third-party auditor before creating it for the first time! Once it's created, other facilities provide mechanisms for detecting and alerting a drift from your baseline, and even automatically remediating the drift. Learn how the comprehensive automation available in AWS provides security and compliance professionals an entire new, more efficient, and more effective way to work.

Secured Hosting of PCI DSS Compliant Web Applications on AWSGaurav "GP" Pal
Protecting card owner information has become very important for e-commerce companies as they have become frequent targets for hackers. In order to safeguard the interests of the card owners, four industry majors, VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express, joined hands to create a set of policies and procedures to protect the debit, credit and cash card transactions and to safeguard the personal information of the cardholders. These policies and procedures are collectively known as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). In simple terms these standards alert companies that they are wholly responsible for the credit card information of their customers. The PCI directs companies to use the information diligently and to store only that information that is required for their business. This white paper provides an overview of architectural features in the AWS cloud that ensure the hosting of e-commerce web applications that are PCI DSS compliant. This stackArmor white paper provides an overview of hosting PCI DSS compliant applications in AWS.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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).
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.
