Cisco Trustsec & Security Group TaggingCisco Canada
This presentation covers the protocols and functions that create a trusted network. We will discuss the best practices when deploying this tagging ability using campus switches including migration techniques from non-SGT capable to devices to a fully SGT capable network deployment. For more information please visit our website here: http://www.cisco.com/web/CA/index.html
Cisco Trustsec provides a virtual VLAN solution using Security Group Tagging to simplify network segmentation and policy enforcement for PCI compliance. The Cisco Identity Services Engine profiles devices and users to assign them Security Group Tags, which are then propagated through the network using inline switches and routers. This allows firewall and other security policies to be applied based on the SGT rather than the traditional VLAN method, reducing costs and complexity of maintaining separate physical networks. While router and switch support needs verification, when used with the Cisco ASA firewall and a SIEM for log monitoring, Cisco Trustsec can help streamline PCI compliance using an identity-based virtual segmentation approach.
This session explains how the combination of IEEE 802.1AE (data link encryption) with the power of Session Group Tags achieves trusted security in a network. It covers the protocols details as well as use case and more importantly how CTS can be deployed in a network. This session is targeted mainly to enterprise customers.
As service providers increasingly provide cloud-based services to enterprises and small businesses in virtual and multi-tenant environments, their security strategies must continually evolve to detect and mitigate emerging threats. In the VMDC reference architecture, physical and virtual infrastructure components such as networks (routers and switches), network-based services (firewalls and load balancers) - and computing and storage resources are shared among multiple tenants, creating shared multi-tenant environments.
Security is especially important in these environments because sharing physical and virtual resources increases the risk of tenants negatively impacting other tenants. Cloud deployment models must include critical regulatory compliance such as Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
The VMDC Cloud Security 1.0 solution enables customers to:
• Detect, analyze, and stop advanced malware and advanced persistent threats across the attack continuum.
• Consistently enforce policies across networks and accelerate threat detection and response.
• Access global intelligence using the right context to make informed decisions and take fast,
appropriate action.
• Comply with security requirements for regulatory requisites such as FISMA, HIPAA, and PCI.
• Support secure access controls to prevent business losses.
• Secure data center services using application and content security.
As more enterprises and small and medium (SMB) businesses move critical data and applications over to virtualized, multi-tenant systems in public and private clouds, cyber-criminals will aggressively attack potential security vulnerabilities. Security strategies and best practices must evolve to mitigate rapidly emerging, increasingly dangerous threats. The Cisco VMDC Cloud Security 1.0 solution protects against such threats, and provides a reference design for effectively and economically securing cloud-based physical and virtualized cloud data center deployments.
This design guide describes how to build security into cloud data center deployments. The VMDC Cloud Security 1.0 solution integrates additional security capabilities into data center design with minimal deployment risks, addresses governance and regulatory requirements, and provides improved technical controls to reduce security threats.
Providing end-to-end security for multi-tenant cloud data centers is a critical task that challenges service providers (SPs) and enterprises. However, deploying successful cloud data centers depends upon on end-to-end security in both data center infrastructures and the virtualized environments that host application and service loads for cloud consumers.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
This talk will cover ScyllaDB Architecture from the cluster-level view and zoom in on data distribution and internal node architecture.

QA or the Highway - Component Testing: Bridging the gap between frontend appl...zjhamm304
These are the slides for the presentation, "Component Testing: Bridging the gap between frontend applications" that was presented at QA or the Highway 2024 in Columbus, OH by Zachary Hamm.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
