NEC Backup as a Service reduces administrative tasks, helping it departments...InteractiveNEC
Cloud solutions continue to grow not only in adoption but also in importance in customer IT strategies. In typical risk-averse practices, cloud solutions were initially used near the fringes of IT environments, delivering test and development functions far outside most of the core mission-critical workloads sustaining internal and external business operations. Likewise, customers in regulated industries such as healthcare or government were initially wary of the security and performance of services delivered from third-party data centers. These dynamics are changing rapidly, however, as both the customer and vendor behavior around cloud have matured considerably. Cloud providers have expanded their data center locations, added almost every flavor of regulatory compliance, and enhanced security capabilities. These developments have dramatically lowered the traditional barriers to cloud adoption, allowing customers in almost any industry to have at least the possibility of deploying most of their workloads through cloud delivery methods.

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.

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).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.

Deliver a seamless user experience for Windows apps on Chromebooks
Chromebooks allow IT to escape the high cost of traditional
PC buying cycles by capitalizing on employee desire for simple
application access from sleek form factors. The widespread
adoption of Chromebooks for business use has brought key
challenges to light, however. While the Chrome OS computing
platform is ideal for accessing Google Apps™
, SaaS and other
cloud-based services, Microsoft®
Windows®
applications
continue to play an essential role in most organizations.
IT needs to give people a way to access these applications
within the Chrome environment—without sacrificing its
seamless simplicity.
Citrix and Google work together to help organizations simplify access to business-critical
Windows applications on Chromebooks. With Citrix XenApp, the market-leading application
virtualization solution, people can launch centrally hosted Windows applications alongside
other cloud services within the same Chrome environment. In this way, they can enjoy all the
benefits of a fast, lightweight, web-based notebook computer for personal use, and still have
easy, secure access to business applications, desktops and data at any time.
These user benefits are complemented by increased simplicity for IT, which can leverage the
cost and manageability benefits of Chromebooks without having to migrate business-critical
applications to the cloud. This modern approach to app delivery enables people to be
productive from anywhere, on any device.
The rise of a new business computing platform
Chromebook adoption has surged among organizations of all kinds. According to IDC,
“By 2018, a quarter of all Fortune 500 companies will have IT-supported Chromebooks
deployed within their organization.”1
The continued acceptance of Chrome devices has
been driven by both IT and user considerations.
For IT, the traditional PC refresh cycle can be a constant source of pain. Replacing full-featured
desktops and laptops every 3 – 5 years is a costly and labor-intensive project, diverting
resources from more strategic work without delivering any real innovation to the user. By
moving to the browser-based Chrome OS, organizations can modernize their approach to
user computing while reducing costs by eliminating the need for frequent hardware refresh
or operating system migrations.

More broadly, the popularity of Chromebooks reflects a new way of thinking for IT, in which
organizations look beyond traditional models and sources for service delivery to support
productivity in the way that best fits peoples’ needs. This can include choosing best-of-breed
solutions of any type, whether on-premises, web or SaaS, as well as empowering people on
a broader range of devices.
The needs and expectations of employees are evolving as well. People now want to be able
to work from anywhere, using any device that suits their needs—especially with convenient,
lightweight devices like Chromebooks and tablets. Mobility is often more important than
access to a complete Windows desktop. What matters most to people is the ability to access
the applications they need quickly, wherever they work, so they can become fully productive.
To accommodate this desire for choice and flexibility, many organizations have introduced
bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives, allowing people to bring a variety of new platforms
into the enterprise. This underscores the need for a new approach to providing users with the
resources and services they need.
The move from a Windows-based computing environment to the Chrome OS platform offers
transformative benefits for both IT and users—but it can also present a new challenge. Even with
mobile, web and SaaS apps now in common use, the majority of business applications still run
on Windows. IT needs a way to provide people with continued access to these applications from
their new Chromebooks—without sacrificing the seamless simplicity and productivity of the
Chrome OS platform.
Chrome and XenApp redefine Windows computing
Citrix and Google have been working together since the introduction of Chromebooks to more
easily deliver business apps to the Chrome OS platform. XenApp enables customers to deliver all
types of Windows apps to Chromebooks without first having to migrate them to the cloud, and
without the need for users to launch a full Windows desktop. Windows applications appear in
the same type of Chrome tab as any cloud-based service, such as Google Apps, SaaS or web
apps, and can be accessed in a single step with a like-local user experience. With millions of
Windows applications already hosted on XenApp, this capability further accelerates the
adoption of Chromebooks for business.
Simplify device support
The Chromebook support model is highly appealing for IT. Compared with complex, full-
featured desktop and laptop computers, the Chromebook is a simple device optimized to run
the Chrome OS and access services remotely in a browser-like experience. With apps executed
in the datacenter rather than locally, Chromebooks have fewer moving parts, fewer points of
failure and much lower maintenance needs. IT can also choose to have the entire device lifecycle
managed by Google as a service. Devices can be switched among users easily without the
need to re-image desktops or transfer user preferences. The long life, obsolescence-proof
architecture and low initial and ongoing management cost of Chromebooks fundamentally
changes the economics of the endpoint environment. IT can provision, maintain and refresh
a fleet of Chromebooks at a fraction of the cost of traditional computers.

XenApp virtual Windows application delivery
XenApp, the industry-leading solution for application virtualization, empowers new levels of
mobility and productivity by providing a streamlined way to deliver Windows applications and
data securely on any device, anywhere people work. A single, centrally managed image supports
users in any location, increasing IT efficiency. XenApp also provides powerful performance
benefits. Because applications run in the datacenter rather than on the device, XenApp cuts
transaction times of client/server applications by as much as 300 percent for an optimized, local-
like experience. At the same time, it aids security and compliance by making it possible to keep
sensitive information protected within the datacenter rather than on endpoint devices. Seamless
quarterly updates provided by Citrix in collaboration with Google keep the solution at the leading
edge of mobility and remote access.
Citrix HDX technology ensures a rich, high-definition experience by intelligently analyzing
the capabilities of servers, networks and Chromebooks to determine the optimal method for
rendering and delivering apps and content. For organizations seeking to implement VDI on
Chromebooks, Citrix XenDesktop™
offers the option of delivering a full, hosted Windows
desktop to a Chromebook tab, or delivering both independent apps and desktops, through
the same solution.
XenApp provides unique benefits for people accessing Windows apps on Chromebooks, including:
• One-step app access – As the types of business apps people use continue to diversify,
XenApp eliminates the need to launch a virtual desktop wrapper, then navigate within it
to their applications. Instead, they can just click on the app and get to work.
• Seamless usability – Files linked within a document in a XenApp tab will launch a session
for the relevant app in a new Chrome tab. Users don’t have to first save the file to a directory,
launch the app separately and then navigate to its location.
• Device optimization – People can leverage the full capabilities of the devices they use, going
beyond the native functionality of their Windows apps. The solution automatically detects the
type of device being used and touch-enables Windows apps accessed on touch-screen
Chromebooks for a fully mobilized experience.
A foundation for secure enterprise mobility
The benefits of using XenApp to deliver Windows apps to Chromebooks extend beyond this
initial use case. While addressing an immediate user need for access to Windows apps on
the Chrome OS platform, IT is also implementing a critical element of business mobility.
Chromebooks aren’t the only fast-growing device in the environment. As people and
organizations make broader use of a variety of Android devices, iPads, smartphones, thin
clients, PCs and Macs, XenApp powers centralized app delivery across the entire next-generation
computing environment.
• Security – The inherently secure nature of the Chrome OS with Citrix solution, encompassing
both the stateless Chromebook device and the centralization provided by XenApp helps
organizations maintain security and compliance—especially those in highly regulated industries
such as finance, healthcare and government. For Chromebooks and any other device used for

remote access, all company data remains in the datacenter, where it can be audited, controlled
and secured more easily. Granular access control policies let you determine exactly how and
where it can be used. Support for all popular security standards, including being FIPS compliant
and Common Criteria certified, provides an additional layer of data protection.
• Low TCO – The low initial cost and much lower maintenance and replacement costs of
Chromebooks compared to standard PCs offer immediate cost advantages. Centralized app
delivery further reduces management costs by allowing IT to support a relatively small number
of servers rather than thousands or tens of thousands of traditional endpoint devices.
• Simple BYOD – IT can use the same XenApp implementation to deliver Windows apps as
a service that can be accessed even when people are away from their Chromebooks, on
any laptop, tablet or other mobile device they choose.
• A future-proof architecture – Citrix application and desktop virtualization solutions provide
an architecture that’s ready for any new applications and services people may need. IT can
consolidate and deliver Windows apps and desktops, web apps, SaaS solutions and other
cloud services through a single solution, and make them easy for people to consume on
Chromebooks or any other device.

Chrome and XenApp at work
Randstad is one of the world’s leading recruitment and human resources (HR) services
companies, with over 600,000 employees placed on any given day. Kevin O’Neill, Randstad
CIO for the AsiaPac region, is constantly pushing for more innovation, agility and mobility for
Randstad’s employees in the region—which is why O’Neill initiated Randstad’s transition to
Chrome devices with Windows apps powered by XenApp. O’Neill reports fantastic results
ranging from trusted security, increased processing speeds, low maintenance requirements,
happier helpdesk staff, a paperless office, more collaboration and improved productivity—all for
a lower TCO. “Our employees saw this solution as very innovative but still familiar, so they picked
it up quickly. They really wanted to be part of a more collaborative, productive, mobile
workforce,” said Kevin O’Neill, AsiaPac Region CIO, Randstad.
Shelton Public Schools faced an enormous feat: Level the educational playing field for students
of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds while moving toward an environment where web-based
and Windows-friendly applications can work together. Rather than continue to invest thousands
of dollars in high-priced laptops, the school district needed a cost-effective alternative that
would provide teachers and students with access to Google Apps for Education, a free online
suite of productivity tools for classroom collaboration, as well as support differentiated
learning in the classroom. At the same time, the solution needed to offer the familiarity
of a Windows-based operating system and remote access to applications such as Microsoft
Word and PowerPoint. Shelton was able to completely transform what it was able to offer
“Our employees saw this solution
as very innovative but still familiar,
so they picked it up quickly. They
really wanted to be part of a
more collaborative, productive,
mobile workforce.”
