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

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).

2. PARENT/ STUDENT INFORMATION PACKET
What a science project is: OVERVIEW
A science project is when a student asks a question about the world around them, researches that question and
makes an educated hypothesis about that question. The student then uses prior and obtained knowledge to create
a procedure that can test their hypothesis. The student then follows that procedure to perform their experiment
while collecting data. Each experiment is expected to be conducted atleast 3 times to make sure the data the
student is collecting is accurate. Data cannot be ignored or erased. Mistakes and being “wrong” is an important
part of the scientific method. If a mistake is made, points are not deducted, but the student must be able to
explain the mistakes and how they could be used or corrected in the future. All data from (a minimal of 3
experiments) is put into charts and graphs and interpreted into a formal conclusion. In the conclusion, a student
determines if his/her hypothesis is correct or not and proves it with the data from their experiment.
Science displays are put together representing all the steps that were followed (listed above). The actual
experiments are not to be brought to school. Displays are to be put on Trifolds only and must stand up on their
own. Names are to be put on the BACK of the trifold, and not the front.
What headings must be on the board or display mentioned above.

Title of the Project
The Problem (also known as the question)
Research—tell us information we need to know about the topic in advance. Information is found by
researching the problem/question.
Hypothesis (a testable statement written as an if/then sentence).
Procedure (also known as Experimental Design.)
a. Subheadings: Should include materials needed and safety precautions.(above the procedure)
b. Step by step instructions written in short simple sentences. These sentences are numbered and
written vertically.
Experiment (Photographs which show the experiment. If pictures cannot be taken, they should be drawn.
Pictures which are drawn should demonstrate what was done in the experiment.)
Data: Data Tables, charts and graphs.
Conclusion (A paragraph or more where the student rejects or supports their original hypothesis and uses
data to support their decision).
Academic Vocabulary that should be included on the trifold
Independent Variable - This is the one thing that the scientist changes in an experiment. He knows that his
varying results are due to this change.
Constant/ Controlled Variables– Constants are all the variables that remain the same throughout your
experiment. Since you are only allowed to change one thing (the independent variable), the student must
make sure that all the other variables in the procedure are constants (the same).
Dependent Variable–The results. What the scientist is choosing to observe or measure in his/her
experiment.
Control group –This is the normal group. In a science project, we change one thing to see how our results
might change or be altered in comparison to what is normal.
3. What a science project is not:

3.
4.
5.
Researching a science concept online or at home and writing a report about it.
Following step by step instructions printed in a library book or a science kit bought on line. It is okay to get
ideas from library books and materials online, but students need to determine for themselves what steps
need to be taken to test their hypothesis.
An experiment that is only done once.
Changing more than one variable at a time. This leads to confusing results and there is no way to
accurately create a conclusion.
Models will not be accepted, unless they perform an experiment or actively show a concept.
*students may not use explosives or harm animals in their scientific investigations

6. 2. Form a hypothesis: Choose one cause (from the left side of your cause/effect map) and one
effect (from the right side of your cause/effect map) to develop a hypothesis. Turn it into
your educated guess:
If ___________________________________________________________________________
then________________________________________________________________________
The “cause” you chose is your independent variable—the one thing you chose to change. All
the other causes on the left side turn into constants. Things that must stay the same and NOT
be changed.
The “effect” you chose is your dependent variable—the variable you plan on observing &
measuring
You may only change 1 thing in an experiment. The other possible variables you listed on the
cause side must stay constant! A T-chart helps you separate the independent variables,
dependent variable and constants. It also helps you write a good procedure.
