Meet GDPR ‘Right to Erasure’ Requirements: Erase Customer Data Permanently & ...Blancco
Enterprise businesses trust ITADs to securely destroy their IT assets to the point that data cannot be recovered. Adding an additional level of security with software-based data erasure guarantees that even the most challenging IT assets (like SSDs) are completely wiped prior to destruction. Erasure also fits within Article 17 of GDPR requirements, the ‘Right to Erasure, ’ which requires businesses to permanently remove customer information upon request. Learn how you can prepare your organization to meet these requirements in this session with Fredrik Forslund, Director of Cloud and Data Center Erasure Solutions for Blancco Technology Group.
We are excited to talk to you about our new and upcoming features and enhancements in our data erasure products.

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.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery.

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
What I want to build out for each Solution we are going to take for each vertical.
How can we broaden our relationship with ITADs – one of the key areas is in approaching the data center.
We want to pass this down to Ingram micro itad – to give them a better view into the full capabilities that we provide in the data center.
All existing tiered data centers need to achieve a Power Effectiveness Rating (PUE) of 1.5 and all new data centers must have a PUE of 1.2. The GAO predicts a savings of $8.2 billion.
53% of respondents said technical difficulties are delaying decisions on consolidation projects – SafeNet Research Study (add or mention??)

NVMe-enabled storage infrastructures are not only seeing wide deployment, but they’re now entering other data center areas that were once typically reserved for legacy HDDs and SSDs. (DataCenter Journal)
NVMe will continue to replace SAS and SATA as the interface for enterprise drives. RAID is succumbing to the inevitability of all-flash arrays and SSD storage appliances. (Network Computing)
By 2019, SSDs are expected to be in about 56% of notebooks and desktops. (ComputerWorld)

Other stats to mention:
By 2020, 86% of companies will be interconnecting multiple clouds across multiple locations and over the next five years to realize a lower Capex. (Equinix)
Gartner says that “a multicloud strategy will become the common strategy for 70% of enterprises by 2019, up from less than 10% today.”[1]
Question: In 2018, what is the top challenge facing your data center(s)?
Answers (select one):
Data Security / Data Loss
Increasing infrastructure complexity
Staff Issues (talent shortage, training, retaining)
Increasing infrastructure complexity
Reduced budgets
NOTES FROM RUSS:
Have to pass the security requirements, but that isn’t the day job
Their biggest concern is they have this stuff piling up but they can’t do anything because of these strict security rules
Erase or fails on the erasure side and report back to security/compliance teams
Need least friction as possible as they go through this process
A lot of big providers of cloud (microsoft and salesforce) – if a company is going to store data in their cloud,

What is data sanitization?
The process of deliberately permanently and irreversibly removing or destroying the data stored on a memory device to make it unrecoverable
The process of ensuring all incorrect, duplicate or unused data is properly classified and migrated into the appropriate lifecycle stage, archival or destruction on an ongoing basis through automated policy enforcement
The process of ensuring shared company data is clear of viruses and malware that can compromise the network, creating areas for breaches
ANSWER: A
What data sanitization method are you using to meet your data protection regulations today?
Physical destruction
Encryption
Data Erasure
Outsource to Third Party
Not Sure
Other: Please specify
Best practice is a combination of these (physical destruction is part of it, but should do erasure/encryption with certificate of sanitization you can show auditors at will)
Very good slide for most erasure presos
Get this done week of 21st.
A lot of big providers of cloud (microsoft and salesforce) – if a company is going to store data in their cloud,
Poll question:
What is your process when you are decommissioning servers to bring in new hardware?
Pull drives manually and wipe them one by one
Pull each server out of the rack and wipe on a per server basis
We erase servers while in rack and wipe a rack at a time
Other
Need to understand how they connect the servers to the MC – need to be clear HOW we do this.

What data sanitization method do you use to erase advanced media like NVMe, m.2 SSD drives?
Destruction
Standard overwrite
We don’t sanitize, but store instead
Other (specify)
Speak to Verification step! Certification (so they don’t store it in their storage and think that is OK)
Reference NIST 800 80R1 that on the slide.
What is your data sanitization process to avoid data spillage or to securely move customer data in a live system?
We would remove the hardware, the destroy it and rebuild the system
We don’t do anything
We have a home grown system that sanitization the data
We delete the virtual machines
Other: Please specify
You will not get serial drive numbers in the report or execute hardware erasure commands (no purge on SSD) – you aren’t running dialog with the drive directly, you are running on the operating system.
Connect Blancco and easily target data on logical level within the cabinet that needs to be erased – without removing drives or risking system functionality (can be done in the operational environment systems can be online)
We sit on top of the server (you don’t need to reboot), we will list everything that is available
You can target all LUNs and erase them (no cables, no appliance). The software can be deployed remotely or locally with admin account
Erases the mounted user accessible part of functional drives and assemblies of drives
Erase any type of disk drive supported by Microsoft Windows, including IDE, SCSI, FC and iSCSI in both 32-bit and 64-bit systems
Erase disk drives supported by the Unix operating system in hand, including IDE, SCSI, FC and iSCSI
De facto standard in data erasure
