Think2018 2314-Microservices and BPM-can they coexist?Brian Petrini
Business processes span multiple business areas, breaking barriers between teams and automating communication with siloed systems. By nature, business processes depend on multiple influences. Microservices are at the heart of modern application design, heavily focused on decoupling. Microservices architectures require the creation of truly independent components to enable greater agility, elastic scalability, and differential resilience. These are the same benefits that organizations seek for their business processes. This session discusses the implications of microservices architectures on BPM solutions: from how business processes interact with microservices, to how BPM implementations can leverage microservices principles.

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

37. How do I integrate with my other systems?
Security
§ SAML for enterprise directory integration
– Users must be pre-loaded to directory (at
present)
– Customer must provide SAML Identity Provider
§ Integrated LDAP
– Self-service user registration or data load via
LDIF/API
– Schema customization allowed
§ Public cloud identity providers
– Facebook
– Yahoo
– Google
Application integration
§ In general, all Portal/WCM features are
available
– Some restrictions in content-focused offering
§ REST Services, Web Services
– Any Javascript client-side framework
– Custom portlets (Plus offering)
– Portal AJAX Proxy
§ XML Data Feeds to DDC
– Cast Iron Live to consume other cloud services
(eg Salesforce)
– On-premises integration via Bluemix
§ Site-to-site VPN available (IPSec)
