Change means giving up old behaviors and adopting new ones.

When organization or teams start on a journey to adopt agile, both practices and mindset, these new behaviors can create some friction with established and comfortable behaviors.

Recognizing where these “rubs” will occur and the all too common anti-patterns typically adopted to address them can prepare managers and teams for this change.

If you’ve ever been in a discussion and found yourself saying, “But we can’t do that here.” or Yeah, we tried that too; didn’t work for us, either!”, then you have experienced either a rub or an anti-patterns.

Teams and organizations that are new to Agile often face some common challenges.

Through trial and error they attempt to adjust and resolve these issues.

Agile will challenge existing policies and processes that are comfortable but may not be getting the desired results. Often, what seem to be logical and prudent responses actually produce a result that is the opposite of the desired outcome creating more problems than it solves.

These solutions that seem to make sense but in practice don’t work are called anti-patterns.

In this session Fissure will examine numerous Agile Organizational Rubs and Anti-patterns that are commonly encountered, why they would seem to work and why they don’t, along with suggestions for solutions that truly do work.

Don Shafer (LinkedIn profile) is a “top gun” in cyber security and known world wide for his expertise in computer engineering, computer science, information technology, information systems, and software engineering. (Past VP PAB IEEE)

Don was an expert witness who represented Dillards in 2010. A jury verdict awarded Dillards 238 million dollars in the software fraud case against their supply chain software provider.

Don does a wonderful job of outlining critical lessons learned in CyberSecurity that can be applied to any software organization!

In this webinar Don Shafer highlights the growing importance of cybersecutiry in the oil industry, especially after Stuxnet.

Stuxnet is a computer worm  that specifically targets PLCs, which allow the automation of electromechanical processes such as those used to control machinery on factory assembly lines, amusement rides, or centrifuges

Even after Stuxnet and Exxon’s Torrance explosion, the oil and gas industry, on shore and off, executive to deck hand, believe that cyber threats are the stuff of science fiction.

The rapid drop in oil prices plus Middle East and South Asia political instability are setting the stage for cyber disasters in the oil and gas industry.

Equipment manufacturers, drilling contractors and oil majors have cut project and people investments to the point that cybersecurity is not even an afterthought.

So what could go wrong?

In just the US, more than half the imported oil comes through the Gulf of Mexico. 15% of the US daily oil supply coming through the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port system 20 miles off of New Orleans won’t be shut down by a bang but by a keystroke!

Thunder Horse, BP’s premier drilling and production platform in the Gulf of Mexico – and the largest semi-submersible built to date – won’t have it’s 250,000 barrels of daily oil stopped by a cigarette boat full of Semtex but by a laptop in Peshawar.

The mitigation strategy centers around implementing NIST CyberSecurity Framework at all asset and governance levels.

Webinar attendees will take away:

• An Understanding that the control software running on and off shore oil and gas drilling and production platforms is extremely vulnerable to cyber attack and has been attacked
• An Understanding that based on the rapid decline of the price of oil and layoffs, equipment manufacturers, drilling contractors and oil company operators have very little incentive to fix the vulnerabilities
• A proven list of the known set of engineering risk mitigation solutions to the vulnerabilities
• A method for applying the NIST CyberSecurity Framework to any industry
