RECAP at ETSI Experiential Network Intelligence (ENI) MeetingRECAP Project
This presentation was delivered by Johan Forsman (Tieto), Jörg Domaschka (UULM) and Paolo Casari (IMDEA Networks) at the ETSI Experiential Network Intelligence (ENI) Meeting in Warsaw, Poland, on April 12th, 2019. ETSI Experiential Networked Industry Specification Group (ENI ISG) work on defining a Cognitive Network Management architecture using Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and context-aware policies to adjust offered services based on changes in user needs, environmental conditions and business goals. The intention is that the use of Artificial Intelligence techniques in the network management system should solve some of the problems of future network deployment and operations.

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. 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 also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Editor's Notes
La transposition complète et correcte des dispositions de la directive dans les systèmes juridiques nationaux est essentielle pour assurer le développer des SER. La soumission des rapports de progrès nationaux est prévue par la Directive ENR. Tous les rapports d’avancement nationaux reçus par la Commission à ce jour (incluant le rapport soumis par la France) sont disponibles en ligne sur le site de la DG Energie. Le rapport soumis par la France indique que la part totale des sources d’énergie renouvelables en 2010 s’élevait à 12.8%. La France suit donc la trajectoire prévue vers son objectif de 2020. Sur la base des informations fournies par les EM, la Commission rédigera un rapport d’avancement européen d’ici la fin de l’année 2012 ll appartient aux Etats Membres de décider des mécanismes de soutien aux énergies renouvelables, notamment financiers. Néanmoins, la Commission a récemment rappelé l’importance de garantir un cadre stable et sécurisé aux opérateurs économiques (cf: Communication de janvier 2011 intitulée " Energie 2020: Stratégie pour une énergie compétitive, durable et sûre « ). Dans ce contexte, la Commission maintient une surveillance des mécanismes de soutien dans l'ensemble des EM et entretient un dialogue régulier avec les EM sur ces questions.
Research will cover: Electric vehicle – performance, range, safety, energy efficiency and compatibility with smart grids Vehicle batteries – safety, durability and charging time as well as their performance under different environmental conditions cooperation between the JRC and the Argonne National Laboratories in the US will promote global standards and address the interoperability issues between electric vehicles, smart grids and recharging systems.
Future and Emerging Technologies ( FET )
Co-operation between the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission and the United States Department of Energy (DoE) DoE and the JRC intend to take the following steps: Establish two Electric Vehicle / Smart Grid Interoperability Labs, Such twin centres could: play an active role in standardization, promoting a common approach between the US and EU testing of relevant electric vehicle and smart grid equipment, and the fostering of global standards; address the interoperability issues between e-vehicles, smart grids and recharging systems, including all connectivity and communication capabilities required for the joint work of all components; provide testing facilities for electric vehicles and the related supply equipment, and participate in each others' inter-laboratory comparisons ("ring tests"/"round robins"); ensure a permanent link with US and EU car industry. Establish a small DoE-JRC task force to prepare a work plan for these interoperability hubs outlining common goals and final targets.
