Abstract: While engineers are increasingly aware of security requirements, in many organizations security remains the responsibility of Òthose security peopleÓ and is not tightly integrated into the development cycle. Productivity and feature goals can result in engineers focusing on deployment rather than on fixing non-critical security issues or on building security into a product, resulting in an increase of security technical debt. Attackers eagerly exploit the vulnerabilities lying in the security technical debt pile. Organizations can benefit from risk-based practices for shrinking this debt. This talk will present two research projects in which risk is being used to prioritize security mitigations. The first project is focused on reducing secrets and credentials that have been checked into a code base. The second project relates to the prioritization of patching the continuous onslaught of vulnerable components and libraries that comprise a product.

Abstract: ARM dominates the processor market as it is used in all mobile phones. This domain has become more established now that Apple has announced that it will start using its own ARM processors in all of its computers. Some of us will remember how only a decade ago this was not the case and rather CISC, through Intel, is what predominated. In this talk, we will talk about how the architecture of processors has evolved since the 50s, placing special emphasis on architectures that were thought for decades and that are re-emerging or that have simply been forgotten, but that could have a great impact on the future. During this 60-year journey, we will discover fascinating things that will help us better understand what is ahead, including the new quantum processors.

Abstract: DevOps is a discipline used in the field of ICT that suggests the use of certain techniques, technologies and tools to productively and efficiently manage the process of development, testing and deployment of computer applications by automating processes and optimizing others. . For several years, this discipline has become relevant in the field of Software development and involves practices that ensure the generation of higher quality Software, such as continuous integration, continuous deployment, peer review flows in versioned and managed code in branches, and the automation of the execution of unit tests, among other mechanisms closely related to the concept of devOps. On the other hand, educational programs in general should bring students closer to the reality of our current performance context. In particular, students of ICT-related careers must know, understand and practice what the current market is demanding, since with a typically traditional training their technological offer could be uninteresting for their future employers. In this talk, the inclusion of the devOps discipline in the academic curriculum is proposed, such inclusion is justified and a tentative study program for this discipline is offered.

Daniel De León is a Mexican expert in computer and digital electronics technologies. In his early years, as soon as he learned to read, he asked his parents for children’s computer books while he took apart his toys to see how they work. His first software into a business production environment was released in 1995, just like Windows ‘95, that was cool for a young boy! Today Daniel is still pushing the creation of Mexican technologies, refusing to accept job offers from Google and Amazon, because he believes that Latin America will soon wake up as a great technology provider and want to be part of it!
