This document summarizes Joseph Kim's presentation on STMicroelectronics' Advanced System Technology research group and their work on next-generation optical access network architectures. The presentation introduced ST's SUCCESS project, which aims to develop a hybrid WDM/TDM passive optical network with a ring topology that provides backward compatibility and a smooth migration path from current TDM-PON networks. Key aspects of SUCCESS include flexible remote nodes using thin-film tunable filters and splitters, cost-effective ONUs using optical bursts instead of local light sources, and an integrated OLT leveraging tunable laser sources to support both TDM and WDM networks.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

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.

Advantages of fiber as a transmission
medium
• Greater capacity (100s of Tb/s*)
• Smaller size and light weight
• Immune to electromagnetic interference
Fiber penetration in the networks
• Already deployed in the backbone, the WANs, and
the MANs.
• Optical Ethernet is being introduced in LANs and
will spread to MANs and WANs.

27. ADVANCED SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY
TDM-PON Example - EPON
Proposed 1490nm downstream and
1310 nm upstream (1550 free for WDM
overlays)
Data is transmitted in variable-length
packets of up to 1,518 bytes (i.e.,
Ethernet frame)
Some packets may be intended for all
of the ONUs (broadcast packets) or a
particular group of ONUs (multicast
packets)
Upstream traffic is managed utilizing
TDM technology, in which transmission
time slots are dedicated to the ONUs
Time slots are synchronized so that
upstream packets from the ONUs do
not interfere with each other
The synchronization marker is a one-
byte code that is transmitted every 2
ms to synchronize the ONUs with the
OLT

Summary
Mismatch between current service/usage model and
network infrastructure is a driving force behind the
paradigm shift in optical networking
• Towards flexible dynamically-reconfigurable optical networking
• Rapid developments in tunable optical components, CWDM, and
BMRs make such dynamically-reconfigurable optical networking
feasible.
• Advances in architectural study push those enabling technologies
towards the edge of the network.
SUCCESS is a joint research initiative for a next-
generation optical access architecture
• Exploiting the benefit of flexible, dynamically-reconfigurable
optical networking in access
• Guaranteeing smooth transition paths from current TDM-PONs to
future WDM-based optical access
