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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

18. The Challenges of the EU Directive
• Lack of clarity remains with regards to :
• The definition of highly biodiverse grasslands;
• The definition of a methodology to identify degraded lands;
• Criterias on conservation practices data (re. soil, water, air) which will
be provided
• Guidance as per criteria implementation
• These definitions will be adopted up to 2010
• Despite the timeframe, various countries could initiate the
incorporation of the Directive into national legislation this year,
creating legal uncertainties over required criteria. This is
clearly unacceptable for Brazil !
• The lack of clear definitions prevents the sector to progress in
the development of a certification scheme that responds to
the European demands.

21. The Green Protocol in São Paulo State
Signed between the São Paulo state government and UNICA in June 2007.
Mills and sugarcane suppliers are involved
Protocol Guidelines
Elimination of sugarcane straw burning by 2014. Approximately 50% of the
harvest is already mechanized
Protection of river side woods and recovering of those near water streams
(APPs)
Adoption of technical plans for soil conservation and water resources
Measures to reduce air emissions
New sugarcane areas must be harvested mechanically.
22. UNICA-FERAESP Protocol
Signed in February 2006 with the objective to enhance the working
conditions of the sugarcane sector workers, and to evaluate and
recommend best practices for the following areas:
1. Gradual elimination by 2011 of the practice of outsourcing in the sugarcane
manual cutting
2. Improvement in the transport system for rural workers
3. Transparency in the systems of labor evaluation and payment in the
production of sugarcane.

26. Sustainability Report
Unica launched in 2008 the first
Sustainability Report ever produced
by an Association. The Report is
based on the Global Reporting
Initiative Guidelines (GRI) and the
content was checked by GRI.
The report is a proof of commitment
to sustainability principles by a
growing number of mills and shows
governance transparency.
27. The Challenge of the Sustainability Uncertainties
Despite of present sustainability issues, Unica
believes that any fair evaluation of the Brazilian
sugarcane industry will demonstrate that
sugarcane and its energy by-products are a
viable and sustainable alternative to complement
existing energy sources.
