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).

Design with bold, vibrant and crisp colors and images that go beyond the limits of real world material.Win as oneLeverage the ecosystem and work together with other apps, devices and the system to complete scenarios for people.Fit into the UI model to reduce redundancy. Take advantage of what people already know to provide a sense of familiarity, control, and confidence.
Clean and open layoutMinimize distraction and help people get immersed in the content by leaving only the most relevant elements on screen.Give content breathing room by removing lines, boxes, and unnecessary graphical effects like blurs and gradients. Use open space to frame the content.Limit navigational chrome that is persistently on screen, such as tabs. Let people focus on the current content, and avoid distracting them with way-finding chrome.Clear information hierarchy The Microsoft design language is founded on clean, beautiful typography that helps users understand the hierarchy of the content. Use typography in place of lines and boxes to help establish structure and hierarchy.Use size, weight, and color in text consistently to convey information on a piece of content's importance. The set of variations should be small, so people can easily see how content fits together in the overall hierarchy. See Guidelines for text and typography.Use the default stylesheet to get the predefined type ramp for your text.Leverage the edge Some actions can't be accomplished with direct manipulation. For those, show commands contextually, only as needed, to avoid cluttering your canvas. Leverage the screen or device edge so people can confidently find commands.Place commands in the app bar, which can be brought up on demand through a swipe from the top or bottom edge, and can be dismissed when users have completed their actions.Leverage the charms, which can be brought up on demand through a swipe from the right edge, for invoking the Search, Share, Devices, or Settings charms.Avoid placing commands persistently on screen, and avoid showing duplicate entry points for contracts that are accessed with charms.Design for comfort and put frequently used interaction surfaces near the edges.
People often touch with more than one finger and don’t even realize it.
Scaling to multiple form factors Your app has the opportunity to be used on hundreds of millions of PCs running Windows 8. These PCs will have a wide range of screen sizes and resolution, ranging from <10" tablets to >27" screens.Make the best use of on-screen real estate by using the fluid layout support built into platform controls. For example, the ListView will automatically reflow content based on available space.The platform provides automatic scaling based on device screen size and resolution. Provide 3 sizes of assets, or use Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to ensure your app always looks crisp and polished. See the Guidelines for scaling to screens and Guidelines for scaling to pixel density.Keep in mind that turning on Make everything on your screen bigger in Ease of Access effectively lowers the current resolution and you need to ensure that all UI is still visible and usable. To learn more, see Verify your app with "Make everything on your screen bigger".Use the simulator in Microsoft Visual Studio to see how your app will look on different form factors.
