Cyber Security Now meets DevOps

IntaPeople

We are pleased to announce the return of Cyber Security Now; a free annual independent meet-up in South Wales. Due to the success of last year’s event we are delighted to reveal that this year there will be two tracks of content running simultaneously; cyber security alongside DevOps.
Throughout this collaborative event a panel of experts will be presenting talks and workshops on a variety of topics including effective microservices architecture, why Erlang is awesome and security breaches in the news.
<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">DevOps track</H2>
Session 1 - Jeremey Barrett, Principal Engineer
Microservices are becoming a popular paradigm in software engineering; they sound compelling on paper and provide many obvious advantages for separation of concerns, system availability, and enabling devops practices. However, they come with a set of foundational challenges that must be addressed in order to realise those benefits.  
In this talk Jeremey will present what we have found to be the cornerstones to an effective, practical microservices architecture and our specific choices for implementation of each. 
Session 2 - Jakub Kubiak, Senior Engineer
Many modern development technologies tend to claim their functional orientation, optimisation for concurrency, high-availability, fault tolerance, etc. Nowadays developers meet all those buzz words almost everywhere even when it comes to what is naturally a scripting language. However, do we really have good examples of having that mix implemented in the same core technology and available to you out of the box? Erlang is not the ideal instrument though, but may serve as a good example of such a thing.
Jakub will take a deep dive into the question of “Why Erlang is awesome and why companies chose it”. 
<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">Cyber security track</H2>
Session 1 – John Davies, Director at Pervade Software 
This presentation will explore the latest trend in intelligent attacks that are invisible to modern threat detection technologies. 
Since 2010 we have seen an increase in the number attack vectors that are specifically designed to evade traditional corporate security strategies. This talk will look closely at the anatomy of 2 example attacks, explain why they would go undetected using today’s threat detection technologies and explore enhancements that could be made in order to detect such attacks. 
Whilst this talk will provide a technical “deep dive” into each attack based on the research of Mendicant/FireEye and Pervade Software the talk as a whole will be suitable for people of all levels of technical knowledge and will finish with a question and answer session.
Session 2 - Industry experts
A live demonstration of what a cyber-attack looks like.  How do hackers do it, how easy it is to find information, what toolsets are out there and more importantly why do they do what they do?  
This session is an informative, open discussion and we welcome the views and opinions of anyone who would like to attend.
The content of these sessions are individual opinions and not the view of the companies the individuals work for.
