This document provides an overview and introduction to Splunk. It discusses what Splunk is, how to get started with Splunk including installing Splunk, indexing data, performing searches, creating alerts and reports. It also covers deployment and integration topics such as scaling Splunk, forwarding data, role-based access controls, and support resources. The document is intended to help users understand the basics of using Splunk to explore and analyze machine data.
If you’re just getting started with Splunk, this session will help you understand how to use Splunk software to turn your silos of data into insights that are actionable. In this session, we’ll dive right into a Splunk environment and show you how to use the simple Splunk search interface to quickly find the needle-in-the-haystack or multiple needles in multiple haystacks. We’ll demonstrate how to perform rapid ad-hoc searches to conduct routine investigations across your entire IT infrastructure in one place, whether physical, virtual or in the cloud. We’ll show you how to then convert these searches into real time alerts and dashboards, so you can proactively monitor for problems before they impact your end user. We’ll demonstrate how you can use Splunk to connect the dots across heterogeneous systems in your environment for cross-tier, cross-silo visibility. You’ll have access to a demo environment. So, don’t forget to bring your laptop and follow along for a hands-on experience.

FIDO AUTHENTICATIONDEFINITION· Acronym FIDO stands for Fast IChereCheek752
FIDO AUTHENTICATION
DEFINITION:
· Acronym FIDO stands for Fast Identity Online.
· FIDO Authentication is a set of open technical specifications that define user authentication operations that reduce the dependency on passwords.
KEYWORDS:
· Authentication: Authentication is the act of providing assurance, such as identifying the user of a computer system by matching the credentials in a database.
· Authenticator: A person who authenticates
· Relying Party: Composed of a back-end server and a front-end application
· Server: The user’s public key credential and account information will be stored on the server.
MECHANISM:
In simple terms, a relying party uses APIs to interconnect with a user's authenticator.
User User’s DeviceFIDO Server (Public Key)
(User Authentication) (Private Key per account) (FIDO Protocol)
Fig: Authentication FlowSTEP 1: Registration
The user is signing up for an account on a website, the authenticator generates a new key pair that can only be used on your service. The public key and an identifier for the credential will be stored with the server.STEP 2: AuthenticationIn a scenario, when a user session expires or returns to the service on a new device, the authenticator by responding to a cryptographic challenge issued by the server provides proof of the user's private key. The private key can only be used after successfully authenticating using the registered authenticator, for example by entering a PIN, swiping a finger on the fingerprint sensor, speaking into a microphone, etc. The device then utilizes the user account identifier provided by the service to select the correct key which verifies it with the stored public key and logs in the user.APPLICATIONS:· iOS Touch/FaceId· MacBook's TouchBar· Android's fingerprint/face recognition

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.

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).

Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

• to categorize and make sense of mountains of data
• punctuation helps find events with similar patterns
Search > eventtype=failed_login instead of
Search > “failed login” OR “FAILED LOGIN” OR “Authentication failure” OR “Failed to

Tags are labels
• apply ad-hoc knowledge
• create logical divisions or groups
• tag hosts, sources, fields, even eventtypes
Search > tag=web_servers instead of
