• Securing CPS
  David Ong, Excel Marco Industrial Systems
  Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are integration of Industrial Controllers, computers, networking, and physical processes. Using Information Technology (IT) approaches to secure CPS may be seem intuitive at first. Many would dive straight in it without in-depth understanding the key differences between IT and Operational Technology (OT). David shared the converging of IT and OT and highlighted the consideration in securing CPS.

• High Resilience by Improving Test Maintenance
  Steve Neo, Parasoft South East Asia
  Steve presented a lite introduction to techniques for improved Application Resiliency. When it comes to testing large and complex applications, the biggest issue is really maintaining the test suite, because of the noise potential. There is no reason to create a test if you are unable to maintain it. If you get a task to fix a bug, would modification to the existing test catch the bug in the future?

• Security at DevOps Speed
  Stefan Streichsbier, Vantage Point Security
  More and more companies are switching to Agile and DevOps methodologies to enable continuous delivery. And while development is becoming faster and faster and new features are released on a daily basis, application security is struggling to keep up. For the most part application security seems to be stuck in the dark ages of waterfall. Stefan discussed a new approach to application security that would enable Agile development teams to ship software at DevOps speed.
