DevSecOps Productivity: Driving Security with Ethical Hacking & OWASP Top 10 for Apps, APIs, LLMs, and Mobile

As a software architect, you're at the forefront of building scalable, secure, and resilient systems that drive innovation while safeguarding critical digital assets. This workshop is designed to equip you with actionable strategies, cutting-edge tools, and deep technical insights into embedding security into every phase of the software development lifecycle.
In this immersive, hands-on session, we will explore how to elevate your DevSecOps practices to meet the challenges of today’s evolving threat landscape while ensuring productivity and operational excellence.

What You'll Learn:

• Integrating Security into CI/CD Pipelines:
Discover how to build efficient, secure workflows that empower teams to deliver faster without compromising security. Learn to implement security gates and automate vulnerability detection with tools like SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning.
• Tracking Metrics for Success:
Understand key DevSecOps metrics such as lead time, deployment frequency, mean-time-to-recover (MTTR), and change fail rate. Learn how observability tools provide actionable insights to optimize performance and reliability.
• Proactive Security with Ethical Hacking:
Dive into penetration testing and simulate real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities in your systems before attackers do. Get hands-on with industry-standard tools such as OWASP ZAP.
• OWASP Top 10 for Applications, APIs, LLMs, and Mobile:
  • Applications: Learn to identify and mitigate risks such as injection flaws, broken authentication, and misconfigurations.
  • APIs: Secure APIs with best practices for authorization, schema validation, and rate limiting to combat vulnerabilities like excessive data exposure.
  • LLMs: Explore unique challenges in securing Large Language Models (AI-driven applications), including prompt injection and data leakage.
  • Mobile: Address mobile app vulnerabilities such as insecure storage and transport layer protection, ensuring your applications are robust across platforms.
• Aligning Security with Business Outcomes:
Bridge the gap between technical practices and business goals by aligning DevSecOps with operational KPIs. Demonstrate how secure development drives measurable business value, customer satisfaction, and operational excellence.

Why You Should Attend:

• Hands-On Experience: Participate in live demonstrations of vulnerabilities, attacks, and their mitigation across applications, APIs, LLMs, and mobile systems.
• Cutting-Edge Tools and Techniques: Gain exposure to the latest tools and practices in CI/CD, ethical hacking, and observability.
• Business-Driven Approach: Learn how to connect DevSecOps efforts to organizational success, making security an enabler of productivity.
• Collaborate with Experts: Engage with peers and experts to discuss real-world challenges and share actionable solutions.

Who Should Attend:
This workshop is ideal for:

• Software Architects seeking to embed security into every layer of system design.
• Senior Developers striving to deliver secure, high-performing applications.
• Technical Leads responsible for ensuring compliance and operational excellence in development pipelines.

Join us for this transformative session to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to design secure, scalable, and resilient systems that protect your organization and enable innovation.
