Security breaches are becoming more common in today’s world, from large vulnerable corporations being attacked to cyber attacks causing physical damage. With Drupal becoming increasingly more popular, it has become a perfect target for these automated attacks. Last year's SA-CORE-2014-005 vulnerability has demonstrated that hackers have learned how to take advantage of Drupal’s functionality to infect a site and remain unnoticed.
Site builders and maintainers have a large role to play in preventing these kinds of disasters. With a solid knowledge base of the most common security threats, developers can quickly identify those security issues and learn how to address them. In this webinar, learn about how to protect your Drupal site against security threats, with topics including:
- How Drupal can protect against DDoS attacks
- Configuration mistakes that make you vulnerable, and how to avoid them
- Fast updates: the single most important security element
Security improvements in Drupal 8
- Modules to enhance security and evaluating contributed module quality
In the Juno summit, Symantec presented it's perspective on securing Keystone. Security is really a mindset and process. We proposed a layered security approach starting with the process for securing Keystone architecture, followed by securing the environment where Keystone is deployed and configured. Since then we have been implementing those security measures in our production environment. In this talk, we will discuss exactly how we have made our Keystone deployment secure and what we have learnt along the way.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
