Analysts are of the opinion that the most important trend in DevOps today is to integrate cybersecurity to give way to DevSecOps.

Within the hour we will be speaking with one of Africa’s thought leaders in the DevOps space to share insights with us on DevOps and Risk management in Africa.

Also, we shall share insights into career progression for young south African Software developers and/or aspiring business IT entrepreneurs as to what institutions in the private sector are doing OR should be doing to assist the economy grow from a Digitalization campaign point of view

Also, we look into the Election Hack Report of the United States: What You Need to Know as a politician, as an individual who may have a website or webservice who has some “things” from the DHS?FBI report found in your service.

We look at the Top 17 Security Predictions for 2017; What will happen in 2017? Whether you prefer to call them cybersecurity forecasts or doom and gloom , it is a compilation of predictions from the world’s leading security firms around the world and the predictions. We may see one of the first Ransomworm attacks in 2017, we may also see the first state The first nation state cyber-attack will be conducted and acknowledged as an act of war

This session we look at two main issues:

1. We look at the Top 17 Security Predictions for 2017; What will happen in 2017? Whether you prefer to call them cybersecurity forecasts or doom and gloom , it is a compilation of predictions from the world’s leading security firms around the world and the predictions. We may see one of the first Ransomworm attacks in 2017, we may also see the first state The first nation state cyber-attack will be conducted and acknowledged as an act of war

2. Also, we look into the Election Hack Report of the United States: What You Need to Know as a politician, as an individual who may have a website or webservice who has some “things” from the DHS?FBI report found in your service.

"Every minute, we are seeing about half a million attack attempts that are happening in cyber space."

-Derek Manky, Fortinet global security strategist

Headless worms, machine-to-machine attacks, jailbreaking, ghostware and two-faced malware: The language of cybersecurity incites some levels of fear and 2016 has been execptional.

Arguments about what really is "responsible" disclosure. Web security researchers being dragged off in handcuffs for "knocks on the door," while software security researchers gleefully post proof-of-concept exploits publicly. Vulnerability researchers rallying to the cry of "no more free bugs," while software vendors waffle between "sure, we'll pay you," "no, but we'll send you a nice thank-you," and "that's extortion."

Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance. We explore some possible vulnerability bind spots that may constitute serious problem.

Researchers at Norway-based security firm Promon have demonstrated how thieves with the necessary hacking skills can track and steal Tesla vehicles through the carmaker’s Android application.

Researchers at Israel’s Ben Gurion University have created a piece of proof-of-concept code they call “Speake(a)r,” designed to demonstrate how determined hackers could find a way to surreptitiously hijack a computer to record audio even when the device’s microphones have been entirely removed or disabled.
