TeleSign Opening Keynote, The Evolution of CPaaS, TADSummit 2018Alan Quayle
The Evolution of CPaaS
Stacy Stubblefield, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at TeleSign
As a two-factor authentication pioneer over a decade ago, TeleSign introduced new ways to verify online identities using the mobile phone number. The company grew to partner with the world’s largest digital enterprises in providing reliable one-time passcodes through their SMS and Voice APIs to global end-users. Through optimized routing operations, compliance expertise, strategic carrier relationship building and analysis of phone number data, the company became the trusted source for delivery of mission critical messaging.
Recognizing the value of the data behind a phone number, sourced through direct carrier connections, TeleSign evolved to offer additional APIs that enhanced the identity verification process by sourcing phone type, contact information, device info, deactivation status and other attributes that customers now use to support instant authentications of news users, further reduce fraud, and enhance their communications.
Bolstered by a 2017 acquisition by BICS, a leading international communications enabler, TeleSign now connects and protects companies and their end-users with accelerated and unmatched access to carrier data and reach for SMS, voice and data solutions around the globe.
Working consultatively with the product teams at the most prominent technology companies in existence, Stubblefield will discuss how she finds innovative ways bridge the digital and telco worlds to solve complex challenges and open endless possibilities.

Telestax Keynote: API and Fly: CPaaS enablement, creating a B2B ecosystem with Applications and Networks using APIs
Kevin Nethercott, VP Business Development at TeleStax
We are now in the midst of a major industry transition as communication becomes a feature built into a wide range of apps, experiences, and services, rather than simply a product unto itself. With key enterprise customers increasingly seeing new CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) companies as a means to more efficiently consume carrier resources, while enabling innovation - traditional carriers and service providers are keen to add API driven solutions to their own portfolios. Faced with the choice of buy, build, or partner, one of the strategic trends is the emergence of marketplaces where carrier service providers and app developers can join forces to deliver exciting solutions for customers. Will CPaaS put even more competitive pressures on service providers, or give them new ways to compete, collaborate, and innovate?
This presentation will discuss
* What key problems CPaaS solves for service providers
* What are the technical skills CPaaS demands
* Why a marketplace for CPaaS enables innovation
* How to successfully embrace the CPaaS opportunity and thrive

Cloud-based Communications Platform-as-a-Service (CPaaS) technology is helping enterprises consume carrier resources in totally new ways through programmable interfaces. Through CPaaS, Enterprises can add real-time voice, video, and messaging into their own applications and systems without taking on a hefty infrastructure build. They can often reduce costs by selecting resources and features from self-service portals that offer instant provisioning and allow unprecedented integration and customization.

A multi sided marketplace platform for telco enabled products Werner EriksenAlan Quayle
TADSummit EMEA Americas 2021
A multi sided marketplace platform for telco enabled products
Werner Eriksen, CTO WorkingGroupTwo
Why has there been so much more innovation in the web- and mobile than other industries? One reason is that the internet and the two major mobile platforms have been great at enabling third party developers to build a wide range of products, as well as offering a great distribution channel towards end-users.
We believe this multi sided marketplace approach is the next step for the telecom industry as well. WGTWO has created a programmable mobile core network, built as a platform, API’ed and delivered as-a-service, along with marketplaces where operators, developers and end-users interact.
This enables 3rd party developers to create great products that people love – helping operators to start using and redistributing these products – and allowing subscribers to find, add, and manage extra products on top of their price plans.Making this a reality is not straightforward.
Let us share our journey, where we started – where we are right now – and the direction we are heading.
Mobile UCaaS Unified Comms as a Service - Disruptive Analysis Oct 2013Dean Bubley
Presentation on the growing practical reality of operator-provided UCaaS propositions. Enterprises are finding it ever-harder to manage mobility & voice/video communications, given device diversity, BYOD and employee behavioural changes in using UC. Hosted options may allow greater flexibility - and also a better platform for future innovations such as app-embedded comms and WebRTC. Carriers can also blend in service value-adds such as roaming deals and WiFi access. Working with a 3rd-party UC vendor is likely to be a better bet than trying to implement UCaaS in an IMS.

tyntec Keynote: Building the foundation for programmable telecoms mashups
Marco Lafrentz, Director of CPaaS Business Line, tyntec
Programmable telecoms is a complementary element in many enterprise mashups that typically require accessing external platforms, data and web content. A roundup of pre-mashup essentials.
The current telecom ecosystems, especially the SMS ecosystem, need to evolve to facilitate and accelerate the new innovations coming from these mashups.
There’s an urgent need for a new participatory platform built for matching the two-sided market (enterprises and telcos). Alternative visions – to vote on. Welcome to CPaaS 2.0.
I presented at a recent sales conference for a large security / IT solution provider on the evolution of the telco industry and the role security and protection plays in that evolution.
In summary: customer data, trust, security and protection are critical for operators to get right in this emerging environment.
Operators need an integrated security and protection layer, not point solutions for each service as is the case today. Protection from malware across all network services e.g. IP, SMS, MMS, WAP push, widgets, apps, etc. Protection in the network, in devices and in services.
SDP vendors need integrated security solution across network, services and end-points, which means a partnership with security / IT providers is key. Its a rapidly growing problem as its a highly profitable and more importantly safe criminal business compared to drugs smuggling or prostitution; hence a specialist security/protection partner is essential.

Welcome to TADSummit Asia 2020 by Alan QuayleAlan Quayle
Welcome to TADSummit Asia 2020. The focus of TADSummit is programmable communications / telecoms. Some people prefer communications, others telecoms, we do not mind either is OK.
Thank you to our sponsors for making TADSummit Asia 2020 possible: Sangoma, Asterisk, VoIP Innovations (Apidaze), and TeleSign. We’ll be featuring the TeleSign TeleTalks through the year in the TADSummit agenda, with the first presentation on the 30th April about Digital Identity For Seamless Onboarding April 30 @ 10am CET I 4pm CST.
Why TADSummit is Unique
TADSummit is unique because we explicitly have a no BS policy. The telecoms / enterprise communications industry is filled with nonsense, and we try to cut through that for the benefit of everyone involved.
TADSummit's sister event is TADHack, largest global programmable telecoms hackathon for 7 years straight. This which enables us to demonstrate year after year the massive social and commercial impact of programmable communications; and bring innovative new blood into the real-time communications industry.
If you are a CIO trying to understand CPaaS, UCaaS, CCaaS, chatbots, cloud communications, omni-channel communications. TADSummit will provide clarity and independence of insight.
If you are a technology or service provider in this segment you will learn from peers with a track record of success. To help you create the future faster.
For Telcos / CSPs (Communication Service Providers) it provides independent thought leadership on the future of telecoms today.
For developers and students, TADSummit provides an insight to an exciting technology space that can set your career on a fast-track.
For regulators and thought-leaders you’ll learn from the brain trust of the growth engine revolutionizing communications / telecoms, a $1.2 Trillion industry.

Beyond the Hype: How to Avoid Common IoT Monetization MistakesGotransverse
Despite the dizzying promises of profit surrounding the Internet of Things (IoT), companies are shying away from pursuing the new revenue opportunities projected. Their reasons, according to a recent KPMG Technology Innovation Survey, include technical complexity, lack of organizational experience, potential disruption and security concerns. These concerns have also led many organizations to make a series of serious mistakes when considering IoT monetization opportunities to pursue.

Supercharging CPaaS Growth & Margins with Identity and Authentication
Aditya Khurjekar, GM Prove Protocol
Mobile networks were designed for communication, yet commerce is driving most of the demand for mobile connectivity today
The growth segments in today’s digital economy benefit from CPaaS APIs for Identity verification, authentication, proofs & claims
Commerce-enabling CPaaS APIs rely on the intrinsic security of mobile network and devices
Deterministic (rather than probabilistic) authentication drastically reduces fraud, hence increases margins
The secure element in mobile devices has been under-utilized by carriers
FIDO standard presents a horizontal application opportunity for hardware based (deterministic) authentication
Authenticated ID verification is key to secure yet seamless digital onboarding, leading to financial inclusion & consumer protection
The needs of the new crypto-based (web3) economy can also be satisfied with smart CPaaS offerings that preserve anonymity/pseudonymity
The imminent ubiquity of eSIMs is timely to fight fraud in the increasingly sophisticated digital & crypto-enabled economy
It’s time for a purpose-built global payments network!

Ben Waymark, Chief Technology Officer, Webio.
CPaaS players are doing the low hanging, simple conversations via their conversational design and plug in’s to the messenger layer, but what are they really hoping to achieve, and should they be aimed at the developer community?
No-code low-code configurable conversational customer support have done really well by integrating with customer ticketing, and integrating other platforms into their workflows. Kustomer.com was bought for a billion, something is going right there.
Conversational experiences are becoming part of the digital customer experience. What does this look like and why might this be important for other companies to understand?

Time to ditch the ‘dumb-pipe’ – reinventing the core mobile network, to put developers first.
Mike Bromwich, CEO / Co-Founder Stacuity & Tim Dowling, Co-Founder Stacuity
The emergence of public cloud has revolutionized the way developers can muster and deploy virtual infrastructures, as and when required.
In contrast, mobile networks are still rigidly defined and protected by operators, who are unable or unwilling to offer such control and flexibility.
As a result, the mobile network operates as little more than a dumb-pipe (unless you have lots of patience and deep pockets).
Addressing this problem requires a different approach, not just the creation of a thin façade over legacy network elements.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
