Securing the Fast Lane: Accelerating SOC Defenses with DevSecOps Magic
My session is focused on secure the Developer Operations and strategies that can help integrate integrate solid security practices to secure the DevOps pipeline in the context of a SOC environment.
Here is a breakdown of my session:
- Introduction to DevSecOps and the need for it in a Security Operations Centre (SOC)
- Overview of DevSecOps and the SOC perspective
- Benefits of adding DevSecOps to SOC environments
- Strategies for integrating Security into the DevOps pipeline
- Case Studies and Examples of Shift to DevSecOps
- DevSecOps tools for SOC
- Collaboration between Security and DevOps Teams
- Challenges faced and Solutions for Effective Implementation
- Continuous Improvement in DevSecOps processes
- Q&A session with attendees
If you are a developer who wants to understand cybersecurity and security monitoring better, then this session is for you. With your code and some best practices around security, we can build better processes to secure our systems and build effective and efficient defense strategies.
Securing Tomorrow: Harnessing the Power of AI in a DevSecOps World
My session is focused on exploring the intersection of DevSecOps, Large Language Modeling (LLM), and AI to create a holistic and intelligent approach to system security. The session aims to empower attendees with the skills to command AI tools effectively, integrate them into a DevSecOps pipeline, and ensure that both AI and systems are in synchronized control.
This training session aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively command AI tools within a DevSecOps framework, ensuring a secure and synchronized control chain for systems. The hands-on exercises and practical examples will empower participants to apply these principles in their own security practices.
Golang for Beginners
Go is a light-weight programming language that is multi-functional and is being used across several domains in the world. Because of its attractive features like ease of writing, learning, and concurrency, it has gained popularity in the development of blockchains, cybersecurity, and gaming.
In this session, we will be talking about the prospects of Go and how to learn it as a beginner, while showcasing some code bases and fun projects that I have built with Go.
We will end this session by building a small and fun project written in Go that you can use for your future learning too.
Blue Teaming in CyberSecurity
A session of blue teaming in Cyber Security will explore the defense side of cybersecurity.
The world of attackers is evolving each second with new threats and risks and with me, you will explore how smartly these attacks are being tackled on a daily, weekly and monthly basis by cybersecurity companies in the world.
During the session we will discuss some red teaming v/s blue teaming , the defense tactics used by security experts and cybersecurity tools that companies and hackers use.
Additionally, we will also dive into some DevSecOps and the advantage of coding in the field of security.
We will equally discuss some career paths in the cybersecurity field, specially for beginners and intermediates who wish to switch to security with their existing experience.
At the end of the session, some important resources will also be shared with attendees as to how they can start learning real world blue teaming and get to defend against real world hacks.
