21stC CyberSecurity Defence: Next 7 Years - 2018 to 2025!Dr David Probert
This presentation provides a personal vision of trends in Cybersecurity during the coming 7 years - 2018 to 2025. We start with focusing on the Board Level Agenda for the newly appointed Chief Security Officer (CSO/CISO) and then briefly discuss the TOP 10 Cybersecurity Threats that include Ransomware, DDos Attacks, SQL injection, Social Media Phishing, Toxic Cookies, Classical Malware, Authentication Hacks, Stealth Monitoring and Advanced Persistent Attacks. We group these generic cyber threats under Exploration, Penetration and Real-Time Attacks! We then discuss the need for new Cyber Tools that will provide effective defence against such threat since classical tools such as anti-virus & firewalls will no longer stop the "bad guys" - CyberCriminals, Cyber Hacktivists & CyberTerrorists! We describe scenarios for 2018 (Integrated Security - Cyber & Physical Security), 2020 (Adaptive Security for the Internet of Things) and 2025 (Intelligent Security based upon Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning). These tools are all available today and yet most organisations are still relying on the classical AV/Firewall Solutions and hence are highly vulnerable to cyberattacks. We wrap up the presentation with a brief look at Security for Critical Sectors such as Banking/Finance & Government. We suggest ways in which business can prioritise and organise CyberSecurity based upon frameworks such as those from NIST, SANS and the UN/ITU. Finally we return to the metaphor that Classical Physical Attacks & Warfare occur at the "Speed of Sound" whilst Global Cyber Attacks & CyberWarfare take place 1million times faster @ the "Speed of Light". This provides the key motivation for significantly upgrading our CyberDefences to provide Security within our 21stC Neural Society!
Energising Cybersecurity with Biometrics & Digital ForensicsDr David Probert
Fighting Cybercrime and Cyberterror requires Business & Government to integrate Biometrics (Pre-Attack) and Digital Forensics (Post-Attack) in order to both mitigate & diagnose attack vectors. This presentation was given @ the East-West International Security Conference in Prague - June 2016. It includes a 25 year Cyber Vision of Future Adaptive, Intelligent & Neural Cybersecurity Tools.

From Hughesovka to Donetsk (Translated to Russian)Dr David Probert
Donetsk, Ukraine is at the core of regional issues between Russia & the West. In the 19thC my Great Great Grandfather worked for 25 years in Hughesovka which was created as an Industrial Public Private Partnership (PPP) between the Russian Government & Welsh Entrepreneur - John Hughes with the "New Russia Company Limited" registered in 1869. This 19thC Company Town was renamed Stalino in 1924 & Donetsk in 1961. Here is the Russian Translation of my Personal Thoughts & Family Story relating to the historical journey from Hughesovka (1870) to Donetsk (2022) .
Some Personal Reflections on the Evolution of the 19thC Industrial Complex set up by John Hughes in 1870 by the New Russia Company in the City known then as Hughesovka and since renamed as Donetsk in Donbas - Eastern Ukraine. The article includes some family history and connections with Donbas and a Personal Postscript & Analysis of current events.
We compare the challenge of the current COVID-19 Bio-Pandemic with the potential of Global Cyber-Pandemic during the coming decade! Bio-Events are Spatial whilst Cyber-Events are Temporal & require "Defence in Time" We speculate on the emergence of "Silicon Life" and the possibility of autonomous cyber-attacks by networks of AI-Bots & Drone Swarms upon Critical National Infrastructure. The paper assumes some understanding of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Cybersecurity. Enjoy!

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).

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.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
