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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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.

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.

3. What have you learned from mistakes on the Desktop field?
a. Answer tips
Here you have to come up with something or you strain
credibility. Make it small, well intentioned mistake with a
positive lesson learned. An example would be working too
far ahead of colleagues on a project and thus throwing
coordination off.
Everyone makes mistakes, of course, but some companies
are more willing to learn from them than punish those
involved.
You’ve learned that when you do make mistakes, someone
is usually disappointed in the choice you made, but you have
to figure it out for yourself, they might help you decide what
‘s right and what ‘ss wrong, but you’ll be the decider on
which you choose. You’ve learned that people do care about
you, and to not do it again if you don’t want to.
b. Answer samples
Every one makes mistakes but only few people can realize
there mistakes and they don’t want to repeat those mistakes
again….. I am the one in those few people, I don’t want to
repeat the mistakes which had done by me in my job/work.
7. Interview questions and answers- Page 7
4. What have you done to improve your Desktop knowledge in the last year?
a. Answer tips
• Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job.
A wide variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-
improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.
• Employers look for applicants who are goal-oriented. Show
a desire for continuous learning by listing hobbies non-work
related. Regardless of what hobbies you choose to
showcase, remember that the goal is to prove self-
sufficiency, time management, and motivation.
b. Answer samples
• Every should learn from his mistake. I always try to consult
my mistakes with my kith and kin especially with elderly and
experienced person.
8. Interview questions and answers- Page 8
5. What are your career goals?
a. The reasons of this question:
This question will test your ability and ambition to develop
yourself as well as the ability to plan for the future.
b. Levels of career goals:
• You are not sure about your goals, then answer: I’m rather
busy with my duties and goals of the Company; as a result, I
haven’t focused much on my long-term personal goals.
• You have goals not or very little relating to the current job:
For example, you are applying for a sales manager, but your
career goal is to become the head of marketing department
in the next 5 years.
• Current job oriented career goals: For example, you are
working as a sales manager, you goal is to become the area
sales manager in the next 2 years and in the next 5 years,
you will be the regional sales manager.

6. Why did you leave your last job?
a. Some sample answers to the interview question:
“Why are you leaving your last job?”
• There is no opportunity to promote in my current job and
I’m ready to face a new challenge;
• I have worked there for 04 years with much experience and
skills. I want to be promoted but the Company do not offer
me that opportunity;
• The company has cut down with its focus on the business
line my job is responsible for;
• My family transferred to another region, or, my current
workplace is too far away from my home;
• My old company often paid late and had inadequate
compensation policy.
b. You should avoid answers that:

• They punished me many times for…
• I did not complete my job.
10. Interview questions and answers- Page 10
7. What is your greatest weakness?
Ways to answer:
a) First way: Turning your strong point into weak point.
For example: I am a perfectionist and therefore, I rarely
believe in anyone who can work as well as me. As a result, I
am afraid to delegate important tasks to others.
This approach has a weak side as that if you are not clever,
you will cause the employer to believe that you are cheating
him.
b) Second way: Solving your weakness absolutely.
A better approach is that you state one point which was once
your weakness, but you have done well to resolve it.
For example: I tended to be a perfectionist, therefore I didn’t
like to delegate to others. But I have found out that in order
to develop the organization, everyone in the organization
must be experienced with many tasks and this is very good
for an efficient team work.
11. Interview questions and answers- Page 11
8. What do you know about this organization?
This question is one reason to do some research on the
organization before the interview. Find out where they have
been and where they are going. What are the current issues
and who are the major players?
Sample answers:
a. A good organization with perfect management. I heard that in
this organization i can gain knowledge and good atmosphere.
b. If its for a good renowned company then its better to go
through the company website and know what’s the company
profile and what’s their achievements/successes and branches
& other details.
c. According to me this is one of the best company. It has a
good Environment, We feel good working in companies, which
has good growth in the IT Industries. This Organization has all
the qualities like good growth, good Environment, maintaining a
best level in the IT Industries, etc.
