Enterprise Ethical Hacking and DevSecOps for Cloud Applications Workshop
Securing a web application is an enormous task. In this talk, we will explore how to protect enterprise applications. Can we shift left and do continuous exploitation testing while the code is still in development?
We will explore different kinds of vulnerabilities and how to secure your applications properly. Security patterns need to be understood by first wearing a hacker's hat and then putting the hat as a defender. In this workshop, we will explore different security patterns and determine how to prevent attacks.
We will be using OWASP ZAP to exploit applications.
Metrics are essential to measuring success for DevOps. In this talk, we will explore different dimensions and measure the Metrics and apply quality gates for DevSecOps projects.
As part of our exploration, we will look at how businesses can connect DevOps with Business Metrics. Ultimately Business value is critical for survival for any business. Management needs to realize that keeping DevSecOps will help in the speed of development and track how well the company is doing.
Key takeaways for this workshop is:
Threat Modeling techniques using the Threat modeling tool
Reconnaissance to gather information, Google hacking database, Exploit Database
Scanning for vulnerabilities using OWASP ZAP
Exploitation with DOS attacks
Lead Time: The time from code written to entering production
Deployment Frequency: How often deploys happen
Mean-Time-To-Recover (MTTR): How quickly can teams restore service after production outages
Change Fail Rate: What percentage of deploys result in service impairment or an outage
What will benefit from this course?
Developers and Architects who want to shift left for Ethical Hacking
Some knowledge of Linux
This talk is ideal for the following roles:
Architects
Technical Leads
Programers
Integration Architects
Solution Architects
About Rohit Bhardwaj
Rohit Bhardwaj is a Director of AI & Data Architecture at Salesforce, where he focuses on enterprise AI, agentic systems, cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, data platforms, security, and large-scale transformation.
Over his career, Rohit has designed and led complex enterprise platforms across AWS, Google Cloud, microservices, real-time data, API ecosystems, resilient distributed systems, and AI-enabled architectures. His work increasingly focuses on the challenges enterprises face as software evolves from deterministic services to AI-native and agentic systems—particularly around reliability, governance, evidence, security, observability, cost, and safe autonomy.
Rohit is the author of System Design with AI Interview Guide: Designing Scalable, Agentic, and Defensible Systems, published by Apress. The book presents a modern approach to system design covering scalability, distributed systems, AI architecture primitives, security, reliability, economics, agentic systems, and real-world architectures including e-commerce, ride sharing, payments, fraud detection, messaging, video streaming, file storage, and search.
