Let the Robots Help: Protecting the Build and Deployment Chain
12:15—12:35
 

It's not enough to just protect the calls to your APIs, you have to know what code you're running and how it got there. In today's world of dynamic development and deployment, developers are given incredible power to effect change in live products and systems. Code and configuration changes alike can get pushed out worldwide, sometimes to catastrophic effect. With more moving parts comes more changes for human error. So how can we make this better? Get the humans out of the way!

Today's systems allow us to automate many of the security chores that once fell to the wayside as busywork for the most junior sys admins, and the robots don't make the kinds of mistakes people do. Going beyond just checking if a codebase compiles, we can now manage the build path, dependencies, runtime platforms, code quality, configuration, and other aspects of the build and deploy process as it exists today.

We'll walk through each piece of the development and deployment chain and discuss the importance of protecting each step, while showing how to do address security, auditability, and reliability throughout. And most importantly, we'll take a deep look at the human cost of automation, and how bad automation can breed workarounds that can lead to unparalleled global disasters.

Securing Global Supply Chains: Strategies for Risk Mitigation and Resilience
12:35—12:55
 

In today's interconnected world, supply chains span continents, creating complex networks that are vulnerable to a myriad of risks. This presentation, titled "Securing Global Supply Chains: Strategies for Risk Mitigation and Resilience," explores the essential strategies needed to protect and fortify supply chains against potential disruptions.We will discuss the various types of risks that global supply chains face, including geopolitical uncertainties, natural disasters, cyber threats, and logistical challenges. The presentation will highlight the importance of comprehensive risk assessment and management frameworks, the role of advanced technologies like blockchain and IoT in enhancing supply chain visibility and security, and the critical need for developing strong, collaborative relationships with suppliers and partners. Real-life case studies will provide insights into how leading organizations have successfully implemented these strategies to build more resilient supply chains. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge and actionable steps to enhance the security and stability of their own supply chain operations in an unpredictable global environment.
