Yuri van Geest: Exponential Organizations - The New Normalsinnerschrader
The world is changing exponentially due to technology, Singularity and globalization. We see the emergence of a new kind of organization: the exponential organization. This is complete reinvention of all building blocks of a classic, linear organization. Why is it here today? Why is it so successful? What is it? How does it organize to scale? How will exponential organizations evolve into blockchain startups (DAOs)? Learn practical insights from not only startups like Slack, Uber, Xiaomi, Airbnb, Waze, Local Motors, Quirky, Github and Tesla but also large organizations like Google, Amazon, Haier and General Electric.
If your organization was built in the 20th century it is doomed to fail in the 21st century. Why? Nobody uses s a mobile phone of 15 years old to survive in todays' business world but we do use organizational models which are 100 years old in todays' exponential era. This does not make sense and explains disruption in each and every vertical market.

Using Chatbots to Assist Communication in Collaborative Networks: 19th IFIP W...Christian Zinke-Wehlmann
Novel technological possibilities enable a better communication and
knowledge exchange within collaborative networks. The paper indicates that
the potential of enterprise social network is by far not exploited yet. Although
systems are connected to each other, and the conditions for frictionless data
exchange are created, there is a lack of flexible possibilities to use the data
stock within the network efficiently and user-friendly. Chatbots provide a
possibility to meet this challenge. Nowadays, chatbots are used to improve
customer communication and simplify the daily routine in consumers’ lives.
Within collaborative networks, their use and benefits had not been fully
discovered yet. This paper examines current chatbot technologies and
implements a use case driven prototype to show the benefits of chatbots within
enterprise social networks for (internal) communication by smart combining
data across collaborative networks.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
