Building smarter solutions with no expertise in machine learning
ML? API? AutoML? What can we build in only a few hours or days? In this session, we'll see how to benefit from existing ML models and how to create a custom model with AutoML. We’ll also be active players of a live demo, so don't put your smartphone on airplane mode!

MLSec and how your ML applications may be at risk
This talk will give listeners a deep understanding of machine learning adversarial examples. Similar to fuzzing, adversarial samples/examples exploit weaknesses in how input is processed. Adversarial Examples are an inherent weakness in almost every machine learning model. Come to this talk if you are interested in learning more about MLSec and how your ML applications may be at risk.

Faster, Cheaper, Leaner: Horizontally Scaling a... CI Pipeline
We all know CI should be done by the time we’ve made ourselves a cup of coffee. What we don’t always know is how to do that, especially when a single run takes hours or days. In this talk we will walk you through how we made that happen, by horizontally scaling the CI workload for Red Hat 3scale.

Mental Models: Figuring out how life and software work
We make decisions every day, every hour and every minute. They affect every aspect of our life, from how we eat to how we work and even who we make friends with. But do you really know why you make those decisions ?

How King uses AI to test Candy Crush Saga
Candy Crush Saga is one of the biggest mobile games today that has been around for over 5 years. It is increasingly a challenge to test a game that has technical debt combined with new features being added for millions of players. Alexander Andelkovic shows you how King is training artificial intelligence (AI) programs (bots) to test its games by mimicking human players.

Future of Testing
Development practices have tried to replicate, in the past, manufacturing practices. With all the digitalisation that pushed forward the IT industry, can we still have a look at manufacturing, to understand what will be the future of testing?

Just watch and let monkeys test for you
Following an unscripted test path, an exploratory session is always good to identify crashes, hangs or less obvious bugs. The more exploratory testing you do, the better, since your chances of finding a great bug increase. But we don’t really have the time or manpower to do a lot of exploratory testing. In addition, since testers have to sleep and eat as well, we can’t run uninterrupted test sessions for days on end. Still, maybe you wondered fearfully how your app would handle hours long, even multiple days long of continuous usage.

How AI can be used to improve QA
AI is becoming more and more accessible and you no longer have to use specialized tools in order to leverage it. You can now, more than ever, easily use open-source libraries and create your own ML/AI models and use them in your day-to-day job. In this presentation we will quickly go over several applications based on ML that can be easily built and used to improve your work as a QA.

5 reasons why you shouldn't be a test manager
This presentation does not want to focus on the "bad" of test management but wants, through the reasons I will present, to inspire/teach others to thrive as test managers, appreciate more the test managers they worked with and to focus on remaining relevant in their preferred role and becoming better at it, since test management is not necessarily the ultimate finish line even in many cultural settings this is the ultimate goal.

Stopping Cyber Boom
Whenever a user creates a loss, the security profession takes the position that it was an unaware user and the solution is more awareness training. This position is not just specious and too simplistic, it doesn't include the potential for malice and countless other issues. The reality is that the user is just part of a system. Adopting principles from safety science, counterterrorism, and accounting, this presentation shows how to holistically account for what results in 90% of all losses.

Harness Technologies to Prevent Terror and Crime
Part of today’s cyber
landscape involves constant interaction with people - in doing this, we
leave our online history behind, our unique digital footprint. Verint’s technologies analyze massive network
and web-data to reveal the footprints of illicit activities such as crimes,
terror and cyber threats among all of Big Data in motion.

The parts of JWT security nobody talks about
JSON Web Tokens (JWT) have become the de facto standard to transfer application claims between the client and the server. By design, they incorporate the use of signatures to ensure the integrity of the data. However, merely signing the data alone is not enough to guarantee security.

One Phish Two Phish Red Phish Blue Phish
Society is changing, consumers are learning the value of their personal data, and will actively avoid organisations that do not treat their information accordingly. Words alone, are simply not enough. So how, when things feel more like they fail by design, can you improve your ability to protect your critical data? We often say that effective cyber security cannot exist without strong human firewalls. The same holds true for cyber security teams.

Why do most of the SOC projects fail?
Building a Cybersecurity Operations Center it’s an objective for a large number of companies around the world, but it seems that a lot of projects in this area are failing to fulfill initial expectations. We’ll use this session to discuss about some of the most common reasons the SOC projects are unsuccessful (things to avoid) and to present a few tips and tricks aimed to increase the success chances (things to do).

The use of AI for CyberDefense
Name it, and it’s connected! Meet the modern enterprise: from the serves in the datacenter or cloud, to the laptop of the CEO, to the smartphone of new hire, to the Air Conditioning, to the assembly line, to the MRI machine or to the system irrigating the plants, everything is connected!
The common denominator of all devices in the enterprise environment is the network traffic, making network-centric security the most effective approach in defending modern heterogeneous enterprise environments. We will explore how applying machine learning to network traffic enables network traffic security analytics solutions to improve detection of advanced threats that might target the entire range of network-connected devices.

Evolving Business Models of Cyber Criminals and The Industry Response
How end users utilise technology has changed radically in recent years. This has led to a change in aims, methods and technology used by cyber criminals. Changes in the cyber threat landscape have shaped the reaction by cybersecurity professionals, policy makers and product vendors. This talk aims to provide a critical analysis of the evolution of this landscape, how we got to where we are and where we will go from here.

Hibernating in Spring: Unleash the Magic
The most popular Java Frameworks out there: Hibernate and Spring. Both rely on magic to make things *seem* simple to novices, but both also hide dark tenets that only the initiate will discover. When these two sorcerers work together, their spells are incredibly powerful.
This live-coding session will reveal the truth behind the magic at their integration points, discussing transaction propagation, Spring Data Jpa repositories, audit support, proxies, plus a few more aspects useful for any engineer interested to know what’s under the hood. Grab a coffee and join an entertaining, dynamic session full of jokes, metaphors, stickers and other goodies :)
