The Chicken and the Robot or: Why AI is not going to take over the world Recorded: Aug 9 2018 39 mins
Dolf J.H. van der Haven - Quality and Information Security Manager, Verizon Enterprise SolutionsThere is a considerable hype about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential impact on humanity. For some, it is the best thing since sliced bread, bringing eternal leisure and world peace; for others, it is doomsday accelerated, where humanity will either become extinct and machines take over the world or it becomes slaves to the robots.
In this presentation, we will cover an overview of what AI’s capabilities are today, where it may lead us, and what we need to take into consideration in service management of AI. Furthermore, we will present a service management model that shows realistic perspectives on what AI’s capabilities can and cannot be. This leads to conclusions about whether AI is a threat to humanity or not.

A new approach to IT Service Management: Selfless Service Recorded: Jul 18 2018 31 mins
Sanjeev NC, Solutions Architect, FreshworksService desks are closer to the customers than we can ever imagine. With self-service adoption on the rise and Service desks making it easy for their users to reach them, why do we still hear IT agents complaining users don’t raise tickets? Can we get the Service desk closer to the customers? What if the Service desk lives where the customers are already there?
This talk explores the possibility of approaching Service management with a selfless mindset focusing primarily on self-service and customers logging tickets with the service desk. A selfless approach takes a lot of effort but not without its benefits.

How can static analysis help DevOps teams maintain velocity securely? Recorded: Jul 17 2018 46 mins
Meera Rao, senior principal consultant and director of the secure development practice - Synopsys SoftwareStatic application security testing (SAST) is the process of examining source code for security defects. SAST is one of many checks in an application security assurance program designed to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities early in the DevOps process. Integrating SAST tools into DevOps processes is critical to building a sustainable program. And automating these tools is also an important part of adoption, as it drives efficiency, consistency, and early detection.
If you have questions like these, and you’re concerned about integrating SAST tooling into your DevOps process, this session will offer actionable advice to automate security testing that supports DevOps velocity.
But DevOps practitioners looking to integrate SAST tools into the DevOps pipeline often have questions:
How do I manage false positives?
How do I triage the results?
What happens to new issues identified?
How can I use a tool in my DevOps pipeline?
