Integrate IT Strategic Planning with Performance MeasurementYan Zhao
This presentation discusses performance modeling, measurement, and management in the context of integrating IT strategic planning with performance measurement in federal government departments and agencies. It presents a cohesive performance measurement and management mechanism across strategic planning, enterprise architecture, capital planning and investment control (CPIC), and enterprise initiatives, which can be driven down to program and project level details as well.
This paper introduces the notion of Inter-Enterprise Architecture (IEA) in response to the current evolution of business environment and landscape associated with the adoptions of common service, cloud computing, and social networking. The IEA describes the context, business environment, collaboration channels, partnership opportunities, influential components and relationships across enterprises and business organizations in selected business domain or service domain for a targeted enterprise or business organization(s). The IEA enables enterprises and business organizations to understand its position in currently connected and networked business world. Due to the open and dynamic nature of service adoption and collaboration, and the autonomy of current enterprise structure, culture, and operation environment, it is necessary to explore how business should be architected across boundaries to effectively response to the common service and collaboration environment.

Governance and the Cloud
After a few years of hype, Cloud is now becoming part of the mainstream enterprise IT landscape. As with any technology or technology model, uptake demands compliance mechanisms. If you rely on something, you must have the rules and metrics required to set the standards of performance, usage and return.
In this white paper, Getronics examines cloud governance, with particular focus on how cloud-specific governance becomes an integral element of overall IT and business governance models.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).

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).

Proposed Abstract: This paper identifies and analyzes governance roles and tasks in SOA security
governance at macro level. Drawing from Information Security Management standards and frameworks on
one hand and SOA considerations on the other hand, the identified governance elements are mapped to a
governance structure that specifies planning and execution aspects at four organizational decision-
making levels, resulting in a prescriptive model with practical relevance. This constructive study
combines theoretical models and standards with industry experience of the authors.

Conclusion of paper
- Agile Governance Model promotes clarity in the role definition and
requirements management related to the key security elements in
enterprise architecture and SOAs.
- The governance model, combined with suitable industry standards such
as SOGP or ISO/IEC 17799 can be applied to the definition of roles and
responsibilities of security governance activities in complex enterprise
systems.
- Specifically, it helps in positioning the security activities at the right
organizational levels and at each level on either the planning or execution
side so that all security requirements will be addressed adequately
throughout the enterprise.
