The Role of NGOs in Data Collection and Management in the Mekong BasinFISHBIO
Many Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are actively gathering biological, environmental, and social data in the Mekong Basin, but do not always have the capacity or resources to effectively manage, analyze, and share these data. NGOs often gather data in the form of rapid surveys and interviews, or through participatory methods. This information can address topics such as food security, livelihoods, biodiversity assessments, and environmental monitoring. For example, FISHBIO, a private fisheries company in Lao PDR, has conducted a number of studies with other NGOs. These projects include assessments of fisheries, household food consumption, and market sales in the Nam Kading Basin; movements of tagged fish from Fish Conservation Zones in the Nam Kading River; and surveys of fishing practices and local knowledge in Xayabouri and Luang Prabang provinces. Collaborations with NGOs can strengthen government and academic research, and fill in data gaps. However, many regional organizations and institutions often face a number of challenges, such as the lack of personnel and staff time to analyze collected data; loss of data or institutional knowledge with staff turnover; and a lack of outlets for disseminating the results of their data collection. FISHBIO is currently working to build the Mekong Fish Network, a resource that strives to address some of these challenges by building the capacity of all types Mekong Basin institutions to conduct research, and by providing an online platform to share research findings and communicate with other researchers.

Asset information and data management smart railJames Nesbitt
The convergence of technology and infrastructure has the ability to transform our communities and economy, reduce emissions as well provide an opportunity for business leaders to optimise asset performance and reduce cost.
Asset information and data management will allow more precise decisions to be made to balance cost, risk and performance, supporting operational effectiveness and efficiency.
We will be addressing how the European rail sector are developing and implementing asset information strategies, managing data across multiple disparate systems and leveraging new technologies to succeed.
Assessing, developing and managing a growing supply chain is a central point in the success of organisations. This is where KFS GROUP maintains its core focus to continuously support our clients.

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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
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
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
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!

RLX Survey: This work will provide a valuable resource for the industry and key partners (including government, road, rail and transport agencies). It will also provide a basis for identifying further research opportunities. Safety Culture Change: The broad aim of this project is to build a best practice model for safety culture management within the rail environment through the evaluation and development safety cultural metrics and the development of new techniques for the dissemination of cultural information. Analytic tools: Rapid advancements in train control and in-cab technologies provide opportunities for rail operators to improve efficiency and enhance operations. However, new technologies are a significant form of risk. This project aims to develop a toolkit of methods that human factors specialists can use to evaluate new technologies before they are implemented.
