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.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Editor's Notes
Webinar: my company also has a Creative Services department and specializes in usability and visual design of sharepoint – some of that you’ll see in the slides to come.Speaking:Write email address on the board!
Mention data model here.Point out – compliance, regulatory issues, and validation are not included here. Possibly change slide to include a section “what this model does NOT cover” – public-facing, regulatory & compliance, etc.Point out – not every competency has to be at the 500 level – you have to decide where to make the investments based on your business.If anyone has read the Checklist Manifesto – this model needs to be customizable to your business.Link to 1st publication - http://www.endusersharepoint.com/2010/11/05/the-sharepoint-maturity-model-version-1-0/

Announcements – look nice with the HTML, but no way to find them individually, or archive them – if you don’t want a page that scrolls forever then you’ll have to delete them.Links – handy but not personalized.
Featured story, substories, people profileSites for you - personalizedPolls & recent search activity give a dynamic & interactive component
Not just collab around documents and files but all kinds of collaboration activities – nonlinear included.100 – SPRAWL. Other tools also being used as well as SP. Team site used (which creates problem – hundreds of empty Shared Document libraries)That notion of Progression from Information Management to Knowledge Management comes in here too – often there’s good info buried in collab sites which should be promoted to not only Final but example of work to leverage.Customizations here would be cross-site roll-up, information roll-up / aggregation, custom web parts.
Designed for collab w/external contributors…
No notes.Background - Workflow typesHuman to system – focus here.Scope – DepartmentCross site / cross departmentEnterprise – spans multiple applicationsExternal user integrationHuman to humanSystem to systemTools- OOB workflow – either true OOB or configured- SP Designer / Nintex-- Custom .NET workflow-- Integration to enterprise WF tool. K2, SkeltaAreas of focus:Auditing – on/off in SPMonitoring – build/buyReporting – oob / custom
No notes.Harbridge mentioned personalized search results on 1/29/11 – e.g. sales team gets sales-oriented results - I would make this 500 level but needs research if it will be added.Background - Search –Scope – OOB/customIntegration / connectors (ifilters) – OOB/customSEO – Y/NDisplay – facets / best bets / rankings / federation (separate or merged) / results – tabular, w/images, etc. / Actionability Integration w/automated taggingVolume – SP / Fast or other 3rd party tool.
No notes.Background:Profiles – maturity progresses through out of box, customization, LOB data, self-service.MysitesTemplate - - OOB / Customized Centralization / organization of mysite and profile (multiple MySites based on domain login etc. – ideal is single.)
Distinction between composites/dashboards – dashboards are read-only; composites are interactive.

Lots to consider here.One audience member (Chris M.) pointed out to me on 1/29/11 – the infrastructure maturity is correlated to the degree that IT uses the system.Background - Infrastructure Server config considerations Farm planning - Availability (redundancy / failover)ScalabilityStorage – archiving/de-provisioningLeveraging low-cost storageBLOB integrationBackup & restoreManaged using OOB toolsDefined using 3rd party or custom toolsMonitoring Updates – manual or automatedVirus checking
Mention notion of Support – it is baked in to all the 500-levels – it doesn’t matter what the support system is, what matters is that users have a way to report a problem or make a suggestion, and that this is tracked and responded to in a timely fashion.Communications, Marketing, and Culture / Change Management not specifically called out here but they are also essential to adoption of the system.
Notion of total cost of ownership – costs $ to build, costs $$$ to maintain & update. Spend more up-front to make the application configurable – so that instead of code drop, change requires update to list, XML, or database table.CustomizationsEnvironment – Prod / Prod + Shared Dev QA / Full 3+ env.Source code – none / simple file storage / source code control system.Build – manual / mixed manual + automated / automatedDeployment & rollback – manual / backup & restore / solution package & scripts / feature creationDeployment – farmwide vs. sandboxed solution (impact on overall farm due to minimized priviliges)Tier – middle (Jquery) vs ? (.NET)
Filling out the self-assessment - for you, as an exercise to see how you’re doing. Like taking one of those “am I an alcoholic” quizzes.
