#JuntosContraelCOVID19
Rocío Mosquera | Chairwoman of CSG
TOGETHER AGAINST COVID-19
The international situation generated by COVID-19 poses a series of challenges to which we must act responsibly, respecting the measures and following the protocols indicated by the competent authorities.
From the Saúde de Galicia Cluster we maintain direct communication with the Xunta de Galicia with the aim of communicating any news regarding the evolution of the disease and its consequences to the society and companies in the health sector.
Through this page we seek to inform and help companies in the Galician health ecosystem to face the exceptional and unprecedented situation caused by COVID-19. We are working in collaboration with the administrations to try to minimize the impact on our society and business activity, guaranteeing the future of the sector both in the short and long term.
From the CSG we want to transmit a message of calm and hope that we will soon overcome this crisis together.

Balidea - Webinar - The Benefits of DevSecOps
When software is everywhere, security is everything. Software = Security
In this year 2020, it is expected that there will be approximately 30,000 million devices connected to IOT. In addition to this number of devices, companies make millions of builds per day. With these magnitudes, and the scale of connectivity around the world growing exponentially, it is more important than ever to integrate security into DevOps systems.
In this session, Miguel will give some guidelines on the battle between the DevOps philosophy, which produces results quickly, with slow and sometimes tedious requests from AppSec.
We will present the solution for the coexistence between both areas, and how current tools for integration and automation can help provide more accurate results without stopping this process.
In addition, Miguel will showcase the main benefits for DevSecOps, starting "from the left" by empowering our developers, offering them more automation and evaluation throughout the process, and giving each party involved during development the responsibility of providing safer results.
All of the above are the main reasons why Checkmarx has a base of more than 1,500 customers, to provide products with better integration and automation from all points of view of the SDLC.

Saraiva - New YouTube channel and memory unit at home
Since the confinement began and after the temporary closure of the day centres, the Saraiva team has been working to find solutions and alternatives for our elders.
Knowing that older people who regularly go to Saraiva (memory unit, day centres) are now at home and, perfectly aware of how especially hard it is to be, as well as being alone, now isolated, they thought about how they could contribute a grain of sand from what they know how to do, which is to care for and accompany the elderly.
Thus, the Saraiva technical team was immediately organized from their homes to create a YouTube channel with activity proposals for people to do at home. It is something like bringing a "little" from your memory unit to every home. Every day they upload a video with a proposal, open and share it on their networks. Here's the link to the channel.
On the other hand, they thought of sharing cognitive stimulation sheets to complement these videos and taking into account how difficult it is to reach those without internet access, they have managed to get La Región to share one sheet a day in the newspaper. All sheets are available here.
