LikedTraditional banks often lack personalized service, and local businesses struggle to find true partnership in financial institutions. Meanwhile, higher education faces scrutiny over relevance and ROI in a world where information is nearly free. Harry Allen helped launch Studio Bank to blend technology with high-touch service, fueled by community investment. At Belmont, he's applying the same entrepreneurial mindset to modernize university operations and embed practical learning experiences, like a one-of-a-kind partnership with Dolly Parton, into academia. In this episode, Harry L. Allen, co-founder of Studio Bank and now CFO at Belmont University, unpacks the bold vision behind launching a community-first bank in a city dominated by financial giants. He shares the leadership lessons that shaped his journey, how to lead through crisis, and why mentorship is the key to filling today's leadership vacuum. Key Takeaways Leveraging both financial and social capital creates a unique, community-first banking model. High-tech doesn't mean low-touch, Studio Bank fused innovation with personal relationships. Leadership means showing up, especially during crisis. Universities must shift from being information hubs to delivering real-world experience. Succession and mentorship are vital to cultivating the next generation of leaders. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Harry L.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHistorically, a lot of discussion in software security focused on the project level, emphasizing code scanning, penetration testing, reactive approaches for incident response, and so on. Today, the discussion has shifted to the program level to align with business objectives. In the ideal outcome of such a shift, software teams would act in alignment with business goals, organizational risk, and solution architecture and would understand that security practices are integral to business success. However, the shift from project- to program-level thinking brings lots of challenges. In this webcast, Hasan Yasar and Joe Yankel discuss the top 5 challenges and barriers to implementing DevSecOps practices and describe some solutions for overcoming them. What attendees will learn: The DevSecOps ecosystem and how it aligns with business objectives The DevSecOps challenges and barriers How to overcome the top 5 challenges Practical solutions for your business needs How your system architecture drives your DevSecOps ecosystem…

1 Improving Analytics Using Enriched Network Flow Data 1:02:25
1:02:25 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked1:02:25
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedClassic tool suites that are used to process network flow records deal with very limited detail on the network connections they summarize. These tools limit detail for several reasons: (1) to maintain long-baseline data, (2) to focus on security-indicative data fields, and (3) to support data collection across large or complex infrastructures. However, a consequence of this limited detail is that analysis results based on this data provide information about indications of behavior rather than information that accurately identifies behavior with high confidence. In this webcast, Tim Shimeall and Katherine Prevost discuss how to use IPFIX-formatted data with detail derived from deep packet inspection (DPI) to provide increased confidence in identifying behavior.…

1 Addressing Supply Chain Risk and Resilience for Software-Reliant Systems 1:01:31
1:01:31 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked1:01:31
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedAll technology acquired by an organization requires the support of (or integration with) components, tools, and services delivered by a diverse set of supply chains. However, the practices critical to addressing supply chain risks are typically scattered across many parts of the acquiring organization, and they are performed in isolated stovepipes. This situation causes inconsistencies, gaps, and slow response to crises. The Acquisition Security Framework (ASF) addresses this problem by combining leading cyber practices that help organizations manage supply chain risk and define the collaborations critical to securely acquiring, engineering, and operating software-reliant systems. The goals, practices, and processes that structure the ASF have been demonstrated as effective for managing risk and improving resilience. The ASF is consistent with published guidelines for supply chain risk management from ISO, NIST, and DHS. What attendees will learn: This webcast will introduce attendees to the ASF and demonstrate the ways in which the ASF provides a roadmap to help organizations build security and resilience into a system rather than “bolt on” these characteristics after deployment. The webcast will also examine how, following deployment, the ASF guides the ongoing management of system risk and resilience as the technology, threats, and requirements evolve over the system’s lifecycle. ASF includes leading security and resilience practices critical to supply chain risk management a pathway for proactive process management that fosters effective collaboration across the range of stakeholders responsible for acquiring, developing, and deploying software-reliant systems…

1 Does your DevSecOps Pipeline only Function as Intended? 52:40
52:40 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked52:40
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedUnderstanding and articulating cybersecurity risk is hard. With the adoption of DevSecOps tools and techniques and the increased coupling between the product being built and the tools used to build them, the attack surface of the product continues to grow by incorporating segments of the development environment. Thus, many enterprises are concerned that DevSecOps pipeline weaknesses can be abused to inject exploitable vulnerabilities into their products and services. Using Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), a DevSecOps model can be built that considers system assurance and enables organizations to design and execute a fully integrated DevSecOps strategy in which stakeholder needs are addressed with cybersecurity in all aspects of the DevSecOps pipeline. An assurance case can be used to show the adequacy of the model for both the pipeline and the embedded or distributed system. While builders of embedded and distributed systems want to achieve the flexibility and speed expected when applying DevSecOps, reference material and a repeatable defensible process are needed to confirm that a given DevSecOps pipeline is implemented in a secure, safe, and sustainable way. What Attendees will Learn: an approach to evaluate and mitigate the risk associated with attackers exploiting DevSecOps pipeline weaknesses and vulnerabilities how to structure an assurance case around the core capabilities of a DevSecOps pipeline…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedAs a Software Engineering community, we started to hear new words with new definitions to achieve some challenges with deciding the shelf life of said terms. Some examples include: DevOps is dead, long live NoOps, SecOps, NoCode, SRE, GitOps, and recently Platform Engineering. We often confuse these terms in order to achieve certain software engineering job types. Then the organization decides to implement one or a combination of these terms and restructures the engineering team. However, it can often be cumbersome because many tech professionals are still unfamiliar with the technologies and “new buzzwords” are required to implement a complete SW delivery pipeline to meet the business needs. It is becoming very challenging to find the right way. We should all step back and ask ourselves “what is our why” to deliver new capabilities in a timely, affordable, and secure way. Let’s discuss how we can clear up this word puzzle and find our journey.
