We will be meeting remotely this month, so make something delicious for lunch and participate from home! Networking will be from 11:30-12:00 and the session will start promptly at 12:00.

Troubleshooting Performance Issues in SharePoint Online Sites

Since its introduction, the growth in popularity and compelling value of Office 365 have resulted in many organizations adopting SharePoint Online rather than building an on-premises implementation. Building SharePoint Online sites shouldn't be approached with the same mindset as on-premises site construction, though. In this session, we'll explore some of the key differences between SharePoint Online and SharePoint on-premises that impact performance and affect site design. We'll examine why developing for the cloud is different, identify common performance issues/concerns, and demonstrate some good (and not-so-good) site construction approaches.

We'll also look at some hands-on troubleshooting techniques that are available for diagnosing common SharePoint Online performance issues, as well as some solutions that can be applied. At the conclusion of this session, participants will have a greater understanding of SharePoint Online, how to build snappy sites in SharePoint Online, and how to conduct basic performance troubleshooting in the cloud.

Presented by: Sean McDonough

Sean is a consultant for Bitstream Foundry, a Cincinnati-based provider of SharePoint solutions, services, and consulting. Microsoft certified MCP, MCTS, and MCPD, Sean has over two decades of experience developing software, building infrastructures, and solving technical problems. Unable to take anything except the deep dive into any role, Sean has acquired a diverse and expansive skill set as consultant, product manager, solution architect, team lead, administrator, and platform evangelist through the years.

Code Tampering: 4 Keys to Risk Reduction

IF YOU'D LIKE TO JOIN LIVE AND/OR GET A COPY OF THE RECORDING, MAKE SURE TO SIGN UP HERE (AND NOT JUST ON MEETUP): https://cycode.com/risk-reduction

Thur, July 28th, 2021
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PST

Code tampering is a software company's worst nightmare. Unfortunately, 2021 has been the year that this nightmare has come true from many organizations. In fact, code tampering has led to new major supply chain attacks nearly every month: SolarWinds, Accellion, Mimecast, Click Studios, PHP, CodeCov, and Kaseya.

These incidents make it clear that the attackers are targeting DevOps tools and infrastructure just as hard as production applications. Attackers are now looking for any entry point into the victim's SDLC and then seeking to expand laterally across each phase to tamper with code and push it live into production without detection. Ironically, DevOps automation that increases release efficiency also makes it easier for attackers to move laterally as each system becomes more tightly interconnected.

After an overview of code tampering, and learnings from recent incidents, this webinar will propose a four-pillar approach to reducing code tampering risk:

Increasing integrity: Confirming files & artifacts across each phase of the SDLC
Anomaly detection: Connecting dots from disparate systems to identify breaches
Critical code monitoring: Determining which code to monitor for any and all changes
Defense in depth: Applying security and governance policies across DevOps tools and cloud infrastructure.

1 out of 3 organizations that deploy a SIEM deem them non-functional and ignore them or are partially used or configured. Does that sound like your organization?

Join us on Wednesday, July 28 at 10:00 am PT | 1:00 pm ET for a quick 30-minute workshop with Aaron Kornhauser, Senior Solutions Engineer at Lacework, as he goes over common dos and don'ts of scaling your SIEM. He will go over with you the common SIEM challenges and pains you're going through as you work to set up your SIEM.

You'll walk away knowing how to:

Progress SIEM adoption and implementation
Improve context on alerts to save you time and help you focus on what matters most
Eliminate manual rule creation leading to a smaller number of alerts

It's common to work with inputs and forms in React, but there aren't any good solutions from the big 3 libraries. Many times, it's just simpler to write your own simple wrapper.

Even still, it'd be nice to have something super simple to help manage forms and that's what I built: OneForm; the one form library you'll need. It does everything for you, and allows you to extend it as-necessary.

Every year we are thrilled to partner with Walkin' and Rollin' Costumes to provide a venue for one of their amazing Costume Building events.

Every child deserves a cool costume. Sometimes, though, that's a little more challenging, especially for those in walkers and wheelchairs. That's why Walkin' & Rollin' Costumes was born: to be able to create something truly unique and custom-made for these special kids … something that's free of charge to the family. Thanks to a nationwide network of volunteers, sponsors and donors, they are able to bring smiles to kids' faces around the country and bring their imaginations to life.

Today the shop will be busy with volunteers working to create these costumes. If you would like to find out how YOU can help, please visit https://www.walkinrollin.org/ for details or to make a donation to their wonderful cause
