This video provides an introduction and a brief overview of the Rust Programming Language. It covers the prerequisites required for getting started. This includes: the setup of a development environment using Visual Studio Code, and the Rust package manager and build tool known as “Cargo.”
Series: The CSIAC Podcast
The CSIAC Podcast features discussions with Subject Matter Experts on emerging topics in the fields of cybersecurity, modeling and simulation, software engineering and knowledge management. One-on-one and round-table discussions are held to provide insight into highly technical topics and increase user awareness.
C++ Templates and Conclusions – C++ Models Part 6 of 6
Part 6 of this 6-part video series describes templates with a focus on the code generation model. Template function overloading and template class specialization are discussed. The conclusions section provides information on where to find the models presentation and the example code.
C++ Polymorphism – C++ Models Part 5 of 6
Part 5 of this 6-part video series discusses methods for building code with the flexibility to support change. Public inheritance coupled with pointers and references, support type substitution and provides one method to enable code to change without breaking existing package dependencies. The virtual function dispatching model is described with an exemplar.
C++ Object Model – C++ Models Part 4 of 6
Part 4 of this 6-part video series provides a conceptual overview of the C++ object model with description and exemplars that illustrate the layout of code in memory, and how the layout of memory affects object construction.
Memory and Class Models – C++ Models Part 3 of 6
Part 3 of this 6-part video series discusses the memory model paradigm, and foundational concepts behind the usage of memory: static, stack, and heap. The Class Model is described using illustrations of the relationships between code residing in static memory, and instances of objects in stack memory.
Beyond the CIA Triad
In this CSIAC podcast, Jim West discusses how the CIA triad has played a part in the management of risk, but lacks the details of considering all aspects of risk. West, describes a 9-point core security principles star that will better prepare many organizations to seek out possible solutions to risks, and provide senior leadership a more detailed visualization of what principles are acceptable risk and which ones are not.
Compilation and Execution – C++ Models Part 2 of 6
Part 2 of this 6-part video series discusses the compilation process model, the preprocessor, and operations of the compile-link-load tool chain. The Execution model is described with a focus on function stack frames, memory, and use of streams.
Code Structure – C++ Models Part 1 of 6
Part 1 of this 6-part video series discusses techniques for structuring code to support an effective code management strategy (specifically with regard to readability and maintenance) as software systems become large and difficult to understand. The use of packages with object factories and interfaces is discussed with an example.
Risk Management Framework (RMF) Categorization Part 4 of 4
In part four of the RMF Categorization podcast series, the SMEs discuss the various roles and responsibilities as well as the operating environment. Any individual that interacts with a system has a certain role or responsibility in the implementation of the system security program. These roles and responsibilities are propagated across three tiers: 1) the organization, 2) mission/business processes and 3) information systems. The operating environment consists of the system authorization boundary as well as all external entities interacting with the system information types. The operating environment should result in a specific implementation of prescribed security requirements and provide a measurement of a security program's effectiveness.
Risk Management Framework (RMF) Categorization Part 3 of 4
In part three of the RMF Categorization podcast series, the SMEs discuss the process of aligning the security objectives. The security objectives provide a common understanding of the impact levels on the information types as well as a common viewpoint of a system compromise and its organizational impact. The security objectives allow the system owner to identify security requirements in order to mitigate and reduce risks to the system.
