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).

The world witnessed significant transformation through 2020, and so has the
construction sector. As the world continues to come out of the pandemic, global
industries need to realign their resources, workflows, and capital to grasp winning
outcomes through the crisis. The construction sector is constantly experiencing
challenges that need effective and long-term solutions including being adaptable
and scalable, reinforced with preemptive processes and tools. Advanced
construction management tools are supporting Architects, General Contractors,
Specialty Contractors, and Owners to stay connected between the back-office and
field to overcome complexities, ensuring cash flow positive outcomes, risk
reduction, and mitigated project delays.
One thing will stay constant – commitment and sustainability to building future
communities whilst making sure the field stays safe and prosperous. iFieldSmart
Technologies will ensure complete support for the AEC sector through data-driven
software technology and construction management tools.
Reliable and sustainable construction in a demanding
and fast-track AEC sector.
Changing priorities, strategies, and directives require construction companies to
embrace changes to resolve challenges. The desire to achieve high-impact
outcomes has led construction firms to adopt advanced construction
management platforms with solutions that include drawings, AR/VR deliverables,
2. RFI and Submittal management, Task and Schedule Management, Finance
Monitoring, and other capabilities.
Regardless of the location, teams and project stakeholders can access a single
source of truth through cloud-based construction management software and stay
connected. Utilizing construction management software for the entire project
lifecycle can help construction firms manage a digital transformation to augment
efficiency and productivity through collaboration – which ultimately reduces
project money and time.
While the industry displays a dynamic behavior, it also witnesses a series of
challenges in the field and requires proactive change management.
PROJECT UNIQUENESS.
Present-day construction projects are highly demanding yet very unique in their
architecture and construction. This includes design, materials, parameters,
personnel, compliance, location, etc.
FRAGMENTED WORKFORCE.
Remote back office and field teams are set into multiple roles and responsibilities.
Traditional processes or legacy software are unable to manage a decentralized
workforce.
COMPLEXITIES IN STAKEHOLDER SYNERGIES.
Project stakeholders display a myriad of interests and work within silo workflows
leading to greater project risks, delays, and cost overages.
EVOLUTION HAS BEEN CONSTANT.
Identifying and resolving unforeseen issues including design, scheduling, costs,
and other resources during actual construction leads to higher rework and costs.
3. Digital collaboration solutions embedded within construction management tools
embrace video communication and conferencing in real time.
“Enhancements in construction to improve life quality by working
effectively can be achieved through construction management
platforms like iFieldSmart Technologies.”
Paper-based solutions or best-in-class construction
management platforms.
PAPER-BASED SYSTEMS CAUSE A HIGHER CARBON FOOTPRINT.
Utilizing paper-based systems or spreadsheets can be cumbersome, inaccurate,
and incomplete. Disparate systems and scattered data streamed through remote
locations can lead to outdated deliverables like drawings can lead to rework and
quality problems.
FRAGMENTED PROCESSES AND SOLUTIONS.
Scattered data across fragmented solutions lead to data or information loss
between exhaustive trail mails, or data moving from one silo tool to another.
Greater third-party integration costs and complex administrative tools can drown
teams and stakeholders across various project lifecycles. Keeping teams
connected enables quick decision-making, error and risk reduction, etc. across
various project stages. This enables construction firms to stay cash flow positive in
the long run.
A True Construction Management Platform.
Myriad construction management platforms claim to deliver features and
capabilities at high price points, yet construction teams and stakeholders fail to
reap the required results from a platform. Construction management platforms
need to be simple, intuitive, flexible, and powerful to address demanding field
4. requirements and for general contractors, subcontractors, and owners to close
the gap and connect through a single unified platform.
WHAT DOES A TRUE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PLATFORM OFFER?
• Quick adaptability to people, processes, and other construction
applications
• Higher consistency to store, process, and manage multiple data sets
streamed into the platform
• Greater third-party integration flexibility for multiple apps to communicate
with each other
More than 30% of AEC companies deploy full-service construction
management platforms and more than 50% have stated integration is
essential to manipulate data consistently within the construction
management platform.
According to Forbes, platforms will play a pivotal role to operate future
businesses. Companies with legacy thinking and technology will continue
to suffer. Getting people and processes on a single screen or online
platform will support greater business development.
4 top reasons why construction businesses need a
platform rather than silo solutions.
▪ Complete data integration: Stream every piece of construction project data
on a centralized cloud platform
▪ Quick customer service: Proactive customer support can save construction
firms hundreds of hours and hassles
▪ Complete visibility: Integrated data indicates that back-office and field
teams can leverage true and complete visibility of the project
5. ▪ Simple dashboard: Implementation improvements, reduction in training
costs, and other features make the platform easy to operate
Why is it so important now?
Construction firms and projects are consistently plagued by challenges that
impede the progress of complex and demanding construction projects. Low
efficiency, inferior communication, and dimming productivity are results of
traditional processes and outdated software. $ 10 trillion or 13% of global GDP is
driven by the construction sector. AEC teams working from remote locations are
at a greater risk of downtime through rework. Outdated processes can kill labor
productivity, consequently, dropping the competitive advantage.
Fully-integrated construction management platforms display collaborative
capabilities, streamline people and data, and integrate solutions on a single
platform to pack in a higher success rate.
What does an Integrated Platform or Solution contain?
Seamlessly information sharing within a single dashboard resolve challenges that
manual and point solutions are unable to achieve.
INFORMATION SHARING ACROSS MULTIPLE SYSTEMS.
The Preconstruction Phase → Project Management → Resource Management →
Financial Management = All in one platform with data under one roof.
6. What are the future construction trends?
The future of construction is uncertain if construction firms continue on the path
of outdated processes and tools. Fully-integrated construction management tools
enable AEC firms to reinforce their businesses better and gain a competitive edge
in the future.
FUTURE DIRECTION # 1: INCREASE IN DATA GROWTH.
As projects continue to be more demanding, fast-track and fully-integrated
solutions need to include higher data volumes and manage real-time data
efficiently. Utilizing project data through manual or legacy systems creates
fragmented or silo systems that offer less to no accuracy, efficiency, or
improvements in project results. Being able to stream data into a fully-integrated
construction management solution can support firms to perform better in
comparison to other firms.
FUTURE DIRECTION # 2: CLOSING THE GAP WITH PEOPLE, PROCESSES,
AND DATA.
Connecting people, processes, and data within a single construction management
platform is critical to achieving an overview of project performance, improved
alignment, greater productivity, lower risks, and greater profits.
FUTURE DIRECTION # 3: DATA AND PROCESS INTEGRATION IS KEY.
Data streaming and management on multiple systems can be error-ridden with
higher fragmentation, data loss, etc. By encapsulating data and tools into one
cloud-based platform firms can streamline communication, lower duplicate
entries, and leverage solid analytics and reporting. The growth and evolution of
projects and businesses require flexibility through construction management
platforms.
FUTURE DIRECTION # 4: COMPLETE PROJECT VISIBILITY IS CRUCIAL.
The construction sector is highly fragmented. Integrated construction
management platforms offer transparent visibility, greater data accuracy, real-
time data streaming, and improved decision-making. More than 40% of
7. construction costs have been attributed to last-minute rework and material
waste.
FUTURE DIRECTION # 5: GAINING A COMPETITIVE EDGE WITH TECH.
Labor shortage is a serious challenge impeding the performance and progress of
present-day complex construction projects. Firms offering best-in-class
construction management solutions maximize efficiency and reduce field hassles.
