All Things Open 2020

All Things Open event format changed this year. Along with the decision to transition to virtual comes a resulting change in format. Consuming content in front of a screen is different than walking around / in-person consumption, so the organizers felt it was vital to change the way in which content was to be delivered.

OASIS Open Executive Director, Guy Martin, spoke during the Inclusion & Diversity in Open Source event and Building Diverse Teams & Projects. The OASIS Open organization was also recognized by Amazon at the event.

Best Practices for eTMF Standards and Interoperability

Zack Schmidt, CEO, SureClinical was joined by Chet Ensign, OASIS Chief Technical Community Steward in a live webinar on Wednesday, 14 October 2020.

Digital transformation is well underway in clinical trial management as most Sponsors and CROs are moving towards electronic Trial Master Files (eTMF) and other digital solutions to manage their trials. But, there is a learning curve to understand and ensure interoperability, eTMF data sharing and standards.  This webinar explored flexible standards-based approaches to consistently and seamlessly share your eTMF data with partners, vendors, Sponsors and CRO’s.

What you will learn

  • Why standards are important to enable eTMF interoperability
  • How standards makes it possible to consistently and seamlessly share your data with partners, vendors, Sponsors and CRO’s
  • Difference between standards and models
  • TMF structures and agency requirements
  • How an electronic filing structure differs from a paper filing plan
  • Introduction to eTMF content tagging using standards-based terms based on standards body definitions by NCI, FDA, HL7 and CDISC and others.

New Project Joins Budding Open Cybersecurity Ecosystem — NIST SCAP v2

Over the last year, the Open Cybersecurity Alliance (OCA) has been working to develop open source content, code, tooling, practices, and patterns that will improve the interoperability of cybersecurity solutions and help solve security complexity and redundancy for clients. During this webinar your hear an update on how OCA is progressing on product interoperability. In addition, OCA just accepted a third project from NIST. This project, the SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol) Data Collection Prototype, was highlighted as it joins current projects STIXShifter and OpenDXL Ontology.

This is an opportunity for you to learn how OCA plans to bring interoperability across these projects and associated products. With a draft architecture defined, now is the time to learn how you can join in and help the Alliance evolve our architecture and projects.

International Cryptographic Module Conference

ICMC is one of the leading annual event for global expertise in commercial cryptography. At ICMC20 over 400 industry leaders from 27 countries came together to address the unique challenges faced by those who develop, produce, test, specify, and use cryptographic modules, with a strong focus on standards such as FIPS 140-3, ISO/IEC 19790, eEIDAS, and Common Criteria. The conference helps to foster a focused, organized community of users. ICMC reviews technical issues underlying cryptographic implementation including physical security, key management, side-channel analysis, open-source development, algorithm testing, quantum threats, embedded applications, standardization, validation programs, government policy, professional ethics, and more.

The event featured a keynote address from our Open Cybersecurity Alliance Chair and presentations from our PKCS11 and KMIP Technical Committee Chairs.

Why TOSCA Continues to be the ‘Go-To’ Choice for Workload Cloud-based Applications & Services Lifecycle Management

TOSCA, the “Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications,” is rapidly becoming the de-facto standard for cloud application and NFV (Network Functions Virtualization). Simply put, TOSCA enables users to deploy and orchestrate the lifecycle of application and network services across multiple clouds (and other environments).

Why is TOSCA so widely adopted?

This virtual event reviewed the current state of TOSCA standard, how it has evolved over time and highlight several use cases. A panel of experts also gave you a preview of the new features added to TOSCA version 2.0 (due to be released in 2021) which will further align it with modern development paradigms, including cloud-native and microservices.

AUDIENCE: This event is suitable for … application providers, tooling providers, service providers, cloud brokers, and so on.
