Improving Software Fuzzing with AI and ML
Tuesday, 5:00 PM EST
What if we could achieve completely ‘contactless’ software security scanning? As the lines between physical and digital security become blurrier and blurrier, software quality standards and testing methodologies must continue to keep pace. Software fuzzing has long been a trusted method for finding vulnerabilities that are difficult to discover using traditional methods.
The application of AI and ML to this field has already begun to bear very promising results. By leveraging deep learning techniques to improve our input corpus and better understand our program's states, we can shine areas on the code logic that would be hidden by approaches like vulnerability scanning and static code analysis, and even traditional software fuzzing.
DevOps, 12-Factor, and Open Source
Wednesday, 5:00 PM EST
A barrage of software philosophies have hit the industry over the last few years, all claiming to reduce friction in digital transformation. But what does that mean organizationally and where does open source play into all of this?
We'll talk about the roots of DevOps in the Theory of Constraints, how 12-Factor principles can guide your microservice and cloud migration refactor efforts, and how building an optimal strategy for the use of open source within your organization can tie all of these concepts together.
