Hacking the Juice Shop en

Capture The Flag is both fun and educational at the same time, and a great tool to raise security awareness. You can do it by yourself, together in a team, or in competition mode against others.
The OWASP Juice Shop is a site that you can set up and use for this. It has a great Tutorial mode for beginners and a lot of challenges at all different levels as well as a scoreboard where you can track your progress. You can also set up a scoring-server for competitions, like getting the highest score or doing it jeopardy-style.
In this session, you will learn how to set it up, and how it works, and get a kickstart on the hacking. After this session, you will have the knowledge to host your own CFT event.

Code Your Cloud: Terraform on Azure en

In this session, we will explore the benefits of using infrastructure as code (IaC) through Terraform. By utilizing Terraform, you will have full control and visibility over your cloud environment, enabling you to easily trace, preview, and approve changes using the same tools you already use for your application code. We will cover the basics of writing Terraform using HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) and demonstrate how to provision resources in Azure, one of the many providers available through Terraform. Additionally, we will delve into common scenarios and discuss the best practices for implementing and running Terraform in your own environment.

Securing the Agile Development Process: Practical Ideas and Implementation Strategies en sv

Security is often treated like the forgotten ingredient in the recipe for agile software development. It's crucial, but too often overlooked. This session will give you some practical ideas to improve your security work as well as provide you with the means to continue to do so. From the very start with an idea for a change or a new feature, to the end when the software is in production, as well as all the steps in between, we will look at the big picture of what kind of security activities fit where, as well as some concrete examples on every step that you can take with you and start implementing right away.

Managing your settings in a secure way using Azure App Configuration en

The settings matrix can become quite complex but with Azure App Configuration you can manage your apps settings in one place for all apps and all environments. No need for transforming config files at deployment and forget about ever viewing your secrets anywhere. Azure App Configuration is also backed by Azure KeyVault when you have the need of storing secrets as settings but still have easy access to them. And as a bonus, it also has great support for feature flags.

Säkerhet i agil utveckling en sv

Säkerhet behandlas ofta som den glömda ingrediensen i receptet för agil mjukvaruutveckling. Det är avgörande, men alltför ofta förbises det. Denna session kommer att ge dig några praktiska idéer för att förbättra ditt säkerhetsarbete och ge dig möjlighet att fortsätta göra det. Från allra första början med en idé för en förändring eller en ny funktion, till slutet när mjukvaran är i produktion, samt alla steg däremellan, kommer vi att titta på helhetsbilden av vilken typ av säkerhetsaktiviteter som passar var, samt några konkreta exempel på varje steg som du kan ta med dig och börja implementera direkt.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud: Simplifying Cloud Security en

Microsoft Defender for Cloud is your guardian for digital infrastructure, offering a centralized hub for all security-related concerns making your job of improving your security easier with best practices recommendations and alarms.
With Microsoft Defender for Cloud, you can not only discover and enhance the security of your Azure accounts and various resources but also manage other cloud platforms. Additionally, it also extends to also monitor your pipelines and source code within Azure DevOps and GitHub.

Mastering the art of prompting en

Ever asked ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot a question and got a surprising answer? It happens a lot, and it might make you think these AI systems aren't that smart. But actually, the problem is often how we ask the questions.

Learning to ask the right way is just like getting better at searching online. It's a key skill for anyone in tech today. In this session, we'll look at what large language models (LLMs) can and can't do, and how to guide them to give us the information or results we need.

Come find out how the right techniques in prompt engineering can make AI work better for you in the world of tech.
