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).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

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.
20. Work/life balanceFaster Team Process Location Flexible/Lower Overheads Faster Implementation Better Output Include the right people Cheaper/No Travel Costs/Downtime
Good Morning everyone and welcome to this session. My name is Stephen Partridge and I am a Lead Account Manager for Citrix Online.I am really excited to be here today and have an opportunity to speak to you all, as I am a strong advocate that online collaboration can make a real difference to businesses and people, as it directly meets the needs of today’s environment by enabling people to work more flexibly. So how do you save time and money whilst also increasing productivity through web conferencing?I’d like to set the scene on the various factors both external and internal that are affecting companies whether you are a global enterprise or a local small business, and how there is increasing pressure to reduce costs and improve productivity. I’d like to then demonstrate why tools such as GoToMeeting are a great way to reduce travel costs immediately, and that will increase productivity by your people travelling less and collaborating online.
…we have just launched GoToMyPC® for iPad® in the App Store, giving our customers the ability to easily and securely connect to their Mac® or PC from an iPad. Within 24 hours of launching we were the number 1 App in the Business category!So there are a lot of exciting things happening within Citrix at the moment, but today, we are really here today to talk about web conferencing.
Shift in workforce dynamicsGrowth cannot be limited by geographically restricted talent.Economic crisis, workplace disruptions and next-generation workstyles show the need for maximizing an increasingly dispersed workforceSaaS access and collaboration takes the physical location out of running a business. I’d now like to consider some of the external and internal factors….The impact of the global recession over the past couple of years has caused a shift in how we conduct our business. There has always been pressure to keep costs in check, but now we really need to drive cost out of the business… and this is driving people to change their behaviour and think differently – what is the opportunity cost of you being out of the office visiting a customer, for example?How else could you be using your time, can your business afford for you to be out? Of course we all need to meet with our customers and be out of the office, but when we are can we be more effective and by that I mean with web conferencing it really doesn’t matter where you are. You can now collaborate anywhere – all you need is your laptop and a web-browser.But thinking about your own experiences of travel – how often have you had disruptions that have cost you time and money?How many times has travel disruption such as tube strikes air strikes impacted what you needed to do?
Who could have predicted the Volcanic Ash last year? The volcanic ash cloud caused major disruption to air travel across Europe, paralysing more than 300 airports and leaving an estimated 150,000 Britons stranded abroad. More than 6.8 million passengers were affected. You cannot predict natural disasters, but how did that affect your business? Business cannot stop. I know my targets didn’t change! But what was really interesting for us, was that our usage doubled during the Volcanic Ash weeks as people were forced to conduct business another way…. What is the next event???
Then we have the accelerating trend of mobile and distributed workforces. As businesses become more global and as employees demand more control over where and when they work. This will fundamentally change the business landscape… creating significant implications for organisations and employees.Collaboration technologies can enable businesses to transform to meet this trend. For this model to succeed the organisation must be agile in the tools employed and their cultural environment – no more 9-5 but more thinking around the task, your customers and what needs to be achieved….
Shift in workforce dynamicsGrowth cannot be limited by geographically restricted talentEconomic crisis, workplace disruptions and next-generation workstyles show the need for maximizing an increasingly dispersed workforceSaaS access and collaboration takes the physical location out of running a business. NEW It’s no longer just for the MD now – it is a necessity for all!
The cost of travel as you know is increasing – not just petrol, but train fares, air travel and of course the taxes! Then think about the opportunity cost and the impact to you travelling and the work-life balance cost.HIGHLIGHTS FROM ADVERSE WEATHER PRESS RELEASE (snow in January)78% of British SMBs Say They Were Prepared for the Adverse Weather, yet 57% Admit Their Business Suffered Up to 124 million working hours lost in just one week equalling £1.47bn in lost productivity74% of British workers affected by snow chaos last week
Simplicity = Adoption = ROIWeb-based services have borrowed what make consumer applications such as Instant Messaging, Skype, Hotmail successful and translated it into successful business applications: SalesForce.com, SuccessFactors, Google Apps.What are the drivers of adoption? Ease of use, Ease of use, Ease of use. Also: no capital investment, cost effective and infinitely scalable.NEW But to really drive adoption things need to be simple – for you and your businesses to really change the way you do business even given all the benefits I mentioned previously ….it needs to be simple.Ease of use … without this people just won’t get started and you won’t see the ROI benefits.
Web conferencing enables companies to stay connected internally and externallyLets talk about the how..
With web conferencing tools, such as GoToMeeting it’s easy to conduct on-the-fly or scheduled presentations with customers… perform live demos, collaborate with colleagues or provide training to customers and employees – within seconds you can improve your productivity and be generating more revenue.A great example of this is one of our customers, the Home Group who are one of the UK’s largest regional social landlords. The Home Group are using GoToMeeting to help transform the way they do business. GoToMeeting is enabling 4000+ employees to communicate online across the Home Groups 500+ locations which has reduced their £1m travel expense budget in half! And that’s without factoring the benefits of increased employee productivity customer service and customer satisfaction…A great result!
So with web collaboration you can remove the need for non essential travel by conducting meetings online. Also because meetings can be started instantly from any PC, you can eliminate the time and hassle of organising complex and costly meetings.Sessions can be arranged with ease whenever they are required and at short notice.You and your attendees can join meeting is seconds and simple features let you show your screen, share keyboard and mouse control or switch presenters.. you can even record!Plus free VoIP means no phone charges for you or your clients.
