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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Several organizations today are consistently using Sitecore Content Management systems(CMS) for
building and managing multiple websites. While both, building and managing sites on Sitecore has its
own set of challenges and considerations, they remain significantly different from a single website
implementation. This paper reflects on considerations alerting organizations regarding prior, during
and after, multi-site implementations.
Reasons for Multiple Sitecore CMS Websites
Organizations that own multiple brands— such a situation can lead organizations to creating
multiple websites, with each site supporting a unique brand with its own inimitable content and
presentation.
Organizations with one brand catering to different audiences— this situation can compel
organizations to creating multiple websites wherein each site uses common content and a unique
presentation or device support.
Organizations providing private customer portals— a situation like this can coerce organizations to
potentially create hundreds, even thousands, of websites that provide common functionality and
content, while providing a selection of presentation options per individual website.
Organizations providing audience offer-specific micro-sites—a situation like this can drive the
organization to creating dozens of websites at the drop of a hat; of course there lurks the need to
remove old and add new websites quickly, each potentially with its own content and presentation.

Multi-site Sitecore implementations have different considerations and opportunities along the
lifecycle of the application—during all its phases; namely, planning, build and maintenance phases of
the websites. In this next section, we explore some of the best-practice considerations and
opportunities within each phase.
Key Consideration & Opportunities
1) PLANNING PHASE: The planning phase, the most pivotal to the success of any CMS
implementation project, can often be the most neglected. This is the phase were key decisions
are made that can affect the application and your organization for years.
Roadmap
A roadmap is a common planning tool to provide a long-term perspective on the organization’s
expected capabilities, supporting technologies and staffing around internal initiatives.
An ideal roadmap should provide a clear line-of-site from concept to deployment with the objective
of alienating the guesswork as at each phase of the project. Developing a roadmap should be a
collaborative effort across business and technical stakeholders -creating common plan for the
initiative.

Call us at: 1-877-EDYNAMIC (339-6264)
Enlisted below are some of the common items identified within a roadmap:
Expected Capabilities — Driven by business requirements and objectives, capabilities need to be
thoroughly understood, for comprehending business expectations, as well as the required
technologies and architectural approach.
Supporting Technologies — Understanding the prerequisites of technology and identifying the
dependencies that require planning, forms the crux of this criterion.
Content Migration — Often existing, legacy websites moved to a new platform, like Sitecore, will
continue to possess timely, relevant content that organizations would want to move to a new
platform this migration must be planned for, within the roadmap.
Staffing — As the lifecycle for a website initiative unfolds, staffing requirements will change in
support of the planning, build and maintenance phases.

How can eDynamic be a strong partner during the Planning Phase?
When thoughtfully performed, the planning phase provides the essential foundation for the success of a
multi-site initiative. For many organizations, a single Sitecore CMS implementation provides sufficient
challenge, while a multi-site implementation provides another level of concern.
eDynamic can complement an organization’s internal team during the planning phase in several areas:
Roadmap planning — working with both business and technical stakeholders eDynamic can facilitate the
process of developing a roadmap that reflects the intent of the organization.
Technology evaluation — custom multi-site development, Sitecore Multi-site Manager, Sitecore Foundry—
making the correct decisions can be challenging! eDynamic provides a process to capture requirements,
verify the support of requirements, outline options and then develop a proof-of-concept for final
Verification of the selected technology.
Content migration strategy and execution — Developing a migration process that aligns with an
organization’s content inventory is important; while using the best approach requires the previous
experience of a partner.
Conclusion: The planning phase for a Sitecore CMS multi-site initiative is critical—partnering with a
seasoned player that has ample experience in delivering multi-site solutions on SitecoreCMS and related
technologies. In the presence of an experienced hand, the organizational so gains confidence as they plan
their roadmap.

2) BUILD PHASE:
Approach
The development approach of multiple websites on Sitecore CMS is dependent on a number of
factors, including the type of multi-site technology chosen, the planning of a multi-site
framework, and the total number and complexity of the websites. The possible approach includes
the following:
o Discrete Approach
o Holistic Approach
Common multisite framework
The knowledge that there is a series of Web applications that must be built and deployed on Sitecore
CMS provides organizations with an opportunity. This opportunity is to build an application
framework in support of the capabilities specific to the organization, but common to all its Web
applications.
The common application framework, once developed, provides a lever to more swiftly deliver new
Web applications with radically less work and risk. Organizations reduce market time and cost of
deployment by developing such a framework that incorporates common functional elements
used by all or some of the Web applications.

Here are some examples of potential opportunities of leverage. These include:
Improved quality — reduced development and debugging
Reduced maintenance — common code base for all applications
Common assets — content types, controls
Shared functionalities – pluggable framework and Information bus — leverage common back-
end integrations
eDynamic recommends the development and use of such a common framework within multi-site
projects.

Multi site implementations – Typical Engagement Model:
eDynamic recommends that organizations consider two possible options:
Transactional Engagement
Retained Engagement
Internal plus outsource
Fully outsourced model
Multi site implementations – Typical Team Structures:
The team structure for a transactional or retained engagement will be similar, with the exception of the cost
and flexibility associated with a long-term retained team.
Onsite/Onshore team—a typical onsite/onshore team will minimally involve a project lead, but as projects
get more complex, could also include a business analyst and technical architect. The project lead acts as the
key contact for the customer, who coordinates all communications, manages the project and may also provide
technical consulting.
Core offshore team—the core offshore team provides all the functionality necessary for any project—
technical architecture, business analysis, Sitecore development, .NET development and web front-end
development.
Extended offshore team—the extended offshore team extends the core team with additional resources
during high-demand initiatives, while quickly shrinking back to the size of the core team when no longer
needed.

We’ve now gone through what considerations you should look at when selecting a WCM for your website. Beyond just specific technology and a features list for the product, you need to consider total cost of the website, implementation options, and the vendor profile.
Beyond choosing the right WCM, we also have material that will help you apply best or breed processes to implement the WCM, as well as tips from the Trenches, to make sure you’re not falling into the common mistakes that are often made on WCM projects.
For more customized information, you can talk to one of our consultants for a free evaluation on how to select a WCM solution or around the implementation process. We’d love to hear from you. You can reach us at........
