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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Women Empowerment Water Supply
1. Drinking Water Supply
Empowerment of Rural Women
A presentation by
jsWater.in
The One Stop Water Professional's Resource Center
2. Introduction
Of the 1.3 billion people who live in
absolute poverty around the globe,
70 percent are women. For these
women, poverty doesn’t just mean
scarcity and want. It means rights
denied, opportunities curtailed and
voices silenced.
Women work two-thirds of the world’s working hours
Women earn only 10 percent of the world’s income.
Women own less than 1 percent of the world’s property.
Women make up two-thirds of the estimated 876 million adults
worldwide who cannot read or write
3. Women Empowerment
The Constitutional (73rd Amendment) Act, 1992, provides for reservation of elective
posts for women. It has been provided that not less than one-third of total number of
posts of Members and Chairpersons at all three tiers of Panchayati Raj Institutions
(i.e. Gram Panchayat, Intermediate Panchayat and District Panchayat) shall be
reserved for women.
The empowerment of Rural Women is crucial
for the development of the Rural Bharat.
Bringing women into the mainstream of
development is a major concern for the
Government of India, which is why 2001 has
been declared as the "Year of Women
Empowerment".
Women's Empowerment is critical to the socio-economic progress of the
community and, bringing women into the mainstream of national
development has, therefore, been a major concern of the Government.
4. Rural Women & Water
In most societies, women have primary responsibility for
management of household water supply, sanitation and health.
Water is necessary not only for drinking, but also for food
production and preparation, care of domestic animals, personal
hygiene, care of the sick, cleaning, washing and waste disposal.
Because of their dependence on water resources, women have
accumulated considerable knowledge about water resources,
including location, quality and storage methods.
However, efforts geared towards improving the management of
the world’s finite water resources and extending access to safe
drinking water and adequate sanitation, often overlook the
central role of women in water management.
5. Water headloading
the extraordinary amount of time and
energy women expend to collect and
transport water from the source to the
home.
Secondly, the primary means of transporting
water is headloading. In addition, many
villages continually face an acute shortage of
potable water.
Lack of access to safe drinking water, the
effects of headloading on women's health,
lack of access to adequate transport facilities
and the burden of women's household
responsibilities all have a detrimental effect
on women's income earning abilities.
The general welfare of the family suffers as a
result
6. Detrimental effects of water headloading
It limits the amount of water women can
transport at one time
Women are forced to make several daily
trips to the water source
Women lose valuable time and energy in
collecting water
Household duties and children can be
neglected
Women suffer chronic backache, foot
pains and fatigue
Skin and other types of diseases caused by
lack of sanitation
Young girls' growth and development
stunted
7. Global recognition
The importance of involving both women and men in the management
of water and sanitation has been recognized at the global level
1977 United Nations Water
Conference at Mar del Plata
The International Drinking Water
and Sanitation Decade (1981-90)
and
The International Conference on
Water and the Environment in
Dublin (January 1992)
All these explicitly recognizes the central role of women in the
provision, management and safeguarding of water.
8. Millennium Development Goal
Promote gender equality and empower women (goal 3)
Reduced time, health, and care-giving burdens
from improved water services give women
more time for productive endeavors, adult
education, empowerment activities, leisure
Convenient access to water and sanitation
facilities increase privacy and reduce risk to
women and girls of sexual harassment/assault
while gathering water
Higher rates of child survival are a precursor to
the demographic transition to lower fertility
rates; having fewer children reduces women’s
household responsibilities and increases their
opportunities for personal development
9. Issues of Particular Concern
Equitable access to water supply
Providing physically accessible clean water is
essential for enabling women and girls to devote
more time to the pursuit of education, income
generation and even the construction and
management of water and sanitation facilities.
Equitable access to land rights and water
for productive use
Equitable access to water for productive use can
empower women and address the root causes of
poverty and gender inequality. However, lack of
access (ownership) to land may be the underlying
cause of women’s limited access to water and a key
reason for the greater poverty of female-headed
households
10. Issues of Particular Concern
Capacity development
Very few programmes and projects are aimed at
expertise in social development, sanitation, or
hygiene education that emphasizes a gradual scaling
down to those responsible for operation and
maintenance of water supply and sanitation, who are
primarily women.
Targeting women for training and capacity building is
critical to the sustainability of water and sanitation
initiatives, particularly in technical and managerial
roles to ensure their presence in the decision-making
process.
Participation and equity in decision-making
Women are under-represented in the ‘water world’, with careers and training in water
management dominated by men. If water management is to be democratic and
transparent -- and represent the needs of the people -- both men
and women must have an equal say.
11. Recommended Actions
Facilitate access to grants or credit on concessionary terms for women’s
groups for installation and maintenance of adequate drinking water supply
and sanitation facilities;
Allocate resources to civil society organizations and small-scale providers of
water and sanitation services, particularly those that include women as full
partners;
Provide micro-credit and creative alternative financing mechanisms to
gender-sensitive organizations for improving or building community-based
water and sanitation services.
Recognize women’s important role in agriculture, livestock and fisheries,
assist them in gaining access to water for productive uses and accord women
equal rights to land tenure;
Support and promote equitable land and tenure arrangements that enable
female producers to become decision-makers and owners;
Improve women’s productivity in using water for agriculture and small
business through training, market linkages and access to information.
12. Recommended Actions
Introduce affirmative action programmes for training women in technical
and managerial careers in the water and sanitation sector;
Ensure that a minimum percentage of women participate in decision
making from the ministerial down to village levels;
Provide assistance to facilitate research into gender considerations in
water resource management;
Allocate funds to the capacity development of women and girls;
