Speaker Presentation

  • Data, Security and DevSecOps - How cyber risks can be managed

    Speaker: Stephen Ramey, VP Cyber Risk Engineering, Sompo International Stephen will review how Sompo has evolved its cyber risk insurance products in the wake of the President's 2021 executive order on cybersecurity, recent high-profile vulnerabilities including Log4j and the Microsoft Exchange Zero Day vulnerabilities, and how financial firms can best embed security into their DevOps platforms and processes. These major cybersecurity events generate countless data points that can be aggregated, analyzed, and interpreted to assess the maturity of cybersecurity practices within an organization or as an industry whole. Structuring the information is critical to the successful detection of trends and improvement of cybersecurity practices.

Anupama will explain how adoption of a customer-centric approach has impacted on the organization of Quality Engineering, helping deliver measurable business outcomes. A particular focus on how S&P Global Ratings has changed its benchmarking for Test Coverage and its measures of success. She will also take a deep dive into the approach of determining the Quality Sentiment map for end-to-end business processes, making smarter automation investments, and how complex test data management is organized to support a global business.

  • Automating data migration testing: A case study of an investment banking merger

    Speaker: Sandesh Gawande, CTO, iCEDQ Recent history has taught us that major data migration programs following banking mergers can be hugely challenging and problematic. In this session Sandesh Gawande, will take us through a detailed case study involving a major investment bank which had acquired a brokerage firm. Following the merger, the bank decided to maintain an independent order management system, but merge the trading and settlement systems into a single platform. Sandesh will explain how iCEDQ's automated test creation platform - helped certify the data migration. The need to run both settlement systems in parallel during the migration was one key challenge. A tight timeline was another. And Sandesh will demonstrate how the migration was accomplished in record time, with minimum resources and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

  • Automate test data management (TDM) to enable quality-CI/CD software releases, while eliminating regulatory and security risks and reducing the environmental impact of IT

    Speaker: Aaron Jensen, Senior Manager Solution Engineering & DevOps Advisor, Delphix Aaron will discuss how you can strike the balance between DevOps Enablement and security to securely fuel cloud pipelines with the best possible (production realistic) test data to maximize application development value. He will also discuss how organizations are extending data governance to enable automated / secure delivery of appropriate data across hybrid (cloud/on-prem) environments. Finally he will share some ways the leading companies are enabling ephemeral data to both reduce costs and reduce the environmental impact of IT operations.
