Independent Verification and Validation for Agile Projects 1:02:23

לפני 26 weeks1:02:23

1:02:23

Traditionally, independent verification and validation (IV&V) is performed by an independent team throughout a program’s milestones or once the software is formally delivered. This approach allows the IV&V team to provide input at the various milestone gates. As more programs move to an Agile approach, those milestones aren’t as clearly defined since requirements, design, implementation, and testing all happen iteratively, sometimes over years of development. In this new paradigm, IV&V teams are struggling to figure out how to add value to the program earlier in the lifecycle by getting in phase with development. This webcast will highlight a novel approach to providing IV&V for projects using an Agile or iterative software development.

Finding Your Way with Software Engineering Buzzwords 1:01:38

לפני 2 years1:01:38

1:01:38

As a Software Engineering community, we started to hear new words with new definitions to achieve some challenges with deciding the shelf life of said terms. Some examples include: DevOps is dead, long live NoOps, SecOps, NoCode, SRE, GitOps, and recently Platform Engineering. We often confuse these terms in order to achieve certain software engineering job types. Then the organization decides to implement one or a combination of these terms and restructures the engineering team. However, it can often be cumbersome because many tech professionals are still unfamiliar with the technologies and “new buzzwords” are required to implement a complete SW delivery pipeline to meet the business needs. It is becoming very challenging to find the right way. We should all step back and ask ourselves “what is our why” to deliver new capabilities in a timely, affordable, and secure way. Let’s discuss how we can clear up this word puzzle and find our journey. What Attendees will Learn: • How to align your business objectives with your SW engineering practices? • What is the science behind DevOps? • Understand role vs responsibility • How do I get started on implementing true DevOps? • How to become an agile to overcame new obstacles?…

This is accomplished by (1) building virtual architectural models of the CPS’ embedded computing resources early in the system development lifecycle and (2) using these models to predict computing system constraints and component integration issues. They will discuss the cultural resistance to adopting the model-based approach, and how established justification methods, e.g., Return on Investment, are being used to stifle the adoption. Finally, some alternatives to ROI will be proposed that would be more effective justification mechanisms.…

Historically, a lot of discussion in software security focused on the project level, emphasizing code scanning, penetration testing, reactive approaches for incident response, and so on. Today, the discussion has shifted to the program level to align with business objectives. In the ideal outcome of such a shift, software teams would act in alignment with business goals, organizational risk, and solution architecture and would understand that security practices are integral to business success. However, the shift from project- to program-level thinking brings lots of challenges. In this webcast, Hasan Yasar and Joe Yankel discuss the top 5 challenges and barriers to implementing DevSecOps practices and describe some solutions for overcoming them. What attendees will learn: The DevSecOps ecosystem and how it aligns with business objectives The DevSecOps challenges and barriers How to overcome the top 5 challenges Practical solutions for your business needs How your system architecture drives your DevSecOps ecosystem…

Improving Analytics Using Enriched Network Flow Data 1:02:25

1:02:25

Classic tool suites that are used to process network flow records deal with very limited detail on the network connections they summarize. These tools limit detail for several reasons: (1) to maintain long-baseline data, (2) to focus on security-indicative data fields, and (3) to support data collection across large or complex infrastructures. However, a consequence of this limited detail is that analysis results based on this data provide information about indications of behavior rather than information that accurately identifies behavior with high confidence. In this webcast, Tim Shimeall and Katherine Prevost discuss how to use IPFIX-formatted data with detail derived from deep packet inspection (DPI) to provide increased confidence in identifying behavior.…

Addressing Supply Chain Risk and Resilience for Software-Reliant Systems 1:01:31

לפני 2 years1:01:31

1:01:31

All technology acquired by an organization requires the support of (or integration with) components, tools, and services delivered by a diverse set of supply chains. However, the practices critical to addressing supply chain risks are typically scattered across many parts of the acquiring organization, and they are performed in isolated stovepipes. This situation causes inconsistencies, gaps, and slow response to crises. The Acquisition Security Framework (ASF) addresses this problem by combining leading cyber practices that help organizations manage supply chain risk and define the collaborations critical to securely acquiring, engineering, and operating software-reliant systems. The goals, practices, and processes that structure the ASF have been demonstrated as effective for managing risk and improving resilience. The ASF is consistent with published guidelines for supply chain risk management from ISO, NIST, and DHS. What attendees will learn: This webcast will introduce attendees to the ASF and demonstrate the ways in which the ASF provides a roadmap to help organizations build security and resilience into a system rather than “bolt on” these characteristics after deployment. The webcast will also examine how, following deployment, the ASF guides the ongoing management of system risk and resilience as the technology, threats, and requirements evolve over the system’s lifecycle. ASF includes leading security and resilience practices critical to supply chain risk management a pathway for proactive process management that fosters effective collaboration across the range of stakeholders responsible for acquiring, developing, and deploying software-reliant systems…

Does your DevSecOps Pipeline only Function as Intended? 52:40

לפני 2 years52:40

52:40

Understanding and articulating cybersecurity risk is hard. With the adoption of DevSecOps tools and techniques and the increased coupling between the product being built and the tools used to build them, the attack surface of the product continues to grow by incorporating segments of the development environment. Thus, many enterprises are concerned that DevSecOps pipeline weaknesses can be abused to inject exploitable vulnerabilities into their products and services. Using Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), a DevSecOps model can be built that considers system assurance and enables organizations to design and execute a fully integrated DevSecOps strategy in which stakeholder needs are addressed with cybersecurity in all aspects of the DevSecOps pipeline. An assurance case can be used to show the adequacy of the model for both the pipeline and the embedded or distributed system. While builders of embedded and distributed systems want to achieve the flexibility and speed expected when applying DevSecOps, reference material and a repeatable defensible process are needed to confirm that a given DevSecOps pipeline is implemented in a secure, safe, and sustainable way. What Attendees will Learn: an approach to evaluate and mitigate the risk associated with attackers exploiting DevSecOps pipeline weaknesses and vulnerabilities how to structure an assurance case around the core capabilities of a DevSecOps pipeline…
