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).

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.

The Vortex® EBR-2C MOA Reticle
Designed to maximize long-distance shooting and ranging abilities,
the EBR-2C MOA reticle can be used to effectively determine ranges,
holdovers, windage corrections and moving target leads. Ultra-precision
laser etching on the glass reticle ensures that MOA specifications
are kept to the tightest tolerances possible. The fine center crosshair
subtensions on the EBR-2C MOA reticle were carefully chosen to
provide the optimum balance between precision aiming and low light
visibility.
— Please read entire manual before using your new optic.
3. 54
EBR-2C MOA Reticle Subtensions
Although 1 MOA
is very commonly
corresponded to 1 inch
at 100 yards, this is not
quite correct 1 MOA at
100 yards equals 1.05
inches. Calling 1 MOA
an inch per 100 yards
may be acceptable at
shorter distances, but it
will cause a five percent
error in ranging and
holdover adjustments.
This will result in
missed shots at longer
distances.
Estimating MOA
MOA Subtensions
The EBR-2C reticle is based on minute-of-angle (MOA) subtensions.
MOA measurements are based on degrees
and minutes: 360 degrees in a circle, 60
minutes in a degree for a total of 21,600
minutes. These angular measurements
are used to estimate range and correct
for bullet trajectory drop in riflescopes. 1
MOA will correspond to 1.05 inches at a
100 yard distance, 2.1 inches at 200 yards,
3.15 inches at 300 yards, and so on.
In the Viper PST first focal plane
riflescopes, the listed MOA subtensions
of the EBR-2C reticle are valid at all
magnification levels. This means the
shooter can use the magnification level
most appropriate for the situation and
still have effective holdover and windage
reference marks. This is also extremely
valuable in a high-stress situation, as the
shooter does not have to remember to
set the scope to one particular magnification to get valid holdovers—an
action necessary with the more common second focal plane reticles.

Ranging a 6-foot target (72 inches) at 12 MOAs yields 573 yards.
Example
72 x 95.5
12 MOA
573 Yards=
Using either the vertical or horizontal MOA scale, place the
reticle on a target of known dimensions and read the number of
MOAs spanned. You will obtain maximum accuracy in ranging by
calculating exact MOA measurements. MOAs should be estimated in
1/4s if possible.
Accurate measuring will depend on a very steady hold. The rifle
should be solidly braced using a rest, bipod or sling when measuring.
Once you have an accurate MOA reading, use the formula to
calculate the distance.
Note: In the MOA ranging formula, a shooter may substitute 100 for
95.5 in the interest of speedier calculations. Be aware that this will
produce a five percent over-estimation error of the yardage distance
obtained.

MOA measurements are very effective for ranging using a simple

target or nearby object in inches.

17.5 MOA reticle holdover at 625 yards. No wind.
Example
Elevation Holdovers
Once the distance has been calculated using the EBR-2C MOA
reticle, or a laser rangefinder, the EBR-2C can be used for rapid
holdover correction for bullet drop of the cartridge being used. To
get the most benefit out of the EBR-2C equipped riflescope, Vortex
Optics highly recommends shooters learn their bullet drop numbers
in MOAs rather than inches.
Since the EBR-2C reticle is scaled in 2 MOA increments, it is an
easy job to quickly select the correct drop reference line once the
shooter knows the bullet drops in MOAs. If the shooter prefers to
dial come ups for bullet drop using the elevation knob, knowing
bullet drops in MOAs rather than inches will allow for much faster
adjustments as the MOAs can be quickly read on the elevation
knob.

Full value wind at 90 degrees
Example
Windage and Moving Targets
The EBR-2C MOA reticle is highly effective when used for wind
and moving target leads. Using the reticle for effective windage
and moving target leads will require thorough knowledge of your
weapons system’s ballistic performance under varying conditions and
experience in reading wind strengths and target speeds. As in bullet
drops, it is important for the shooter to learn a particular weapon’s
windage/moving target corrections in MOAs rather than inches.
Always hold the reticle into the wind.
Basic windage correction on center crosshair
When dialing elevation come ups, the center horizontal crosshair will
be used for windage or moving lead corrections.
7. 1312
Basic windage correction using drop line on reticle
When using the reticle for elevation correction rather than dialing, the
mrad marks on the center horizontal crosshair can still be used to help
visually reference windage corrections.
Basic moving lead correction
When estimating moving target leads, the mrad marks on the center
horizontal crosshair can be used. Estimating moving leads will require
knowing yardage distance, wind speed, moving target speed and total
bullet flight times including rifle lock time. Bullet flight times can be
roughly calculated based on fps velocities or a ballistic calculator.
Note: Correctly estimating moving leads is very difficult and requires
considerable practice and knowledge beyond the scope of this manual.
