Cross Process Governance: How to Balance Agility & ComplianceJason Bloomberg
Organizations have numerous, disparate ways of leveraging IT to automate or otherwise support the variety of business processes that constitute the operation of the business, typically focused on achieving business outcomes through continual optimization.
But when the organization seeks to be innovative, the story gets tricky when they treat innovation itself as a set of business processes. Innovation requires disruption, thus requiring a different management approach from traditional BPM-friendly "better-faster-cheaper" management techniques that drive optimization but limit innovation and resilience.
As a result, we're faced with the dilemma: invest heavily in custom integration to govern all our processes, thus sacrificing the agility drivers of innovation and resilience, or govern many of the processes manually in a piecemeal fashion, risking holes in our compliance.
The answer: cross-process governance that leverages dynamic constraint satisfaction. Implement technology that is able to interpret and apply diverse metadata across the organization, including policies, rules, and other governance-related information, maintaining compliance "on the edges," while disruptive innovation takes place as needed across the organization.

Digital Transformation is a systematic approach to your business that applies digital thinking across everything you do, from the front office to the back office. It’s what we refer to as “The New Business of Digital.” The quote you see summarizes that thought well.
This is an important distinction because not only is there a direct, tangible improvement to the specific area that you change through digital technology and digital thinking—for example, replacing hard-copy documents with electronic documents—but there is a significant value-add as well.
Through Digital Transformation, your processes are:
Optimized through intelligent information capture
Streamlined by removing time-consuming steps
Replaced with a new, simpler way of doing things

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.

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.
