THE LINEUP
We're featuring two incredible speakers who are deep in the trenches of cybersecurity:

• Talk 1: Breaking Free: Container Escape Techniques for Beginners
• Presented by: Dejan Zelic, Senior Penetration Testing Engineer at AWS
• In this talk, we'll demystify container escape techniques for security professionals new to container technology. Starting with the fundamentals of how containers work — covering namespaces, cgroups, and isolation mechanisms. We'll build a solid foundation for understanding container security boundaries. We'll then explore common security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities that can lead to container escapes, including privileged containers, exposed runtime sockets, and shared Namespaces.
• Talk 2: Secure by Design: DevSecOps in practice for financial transactions in the cloud
• Presented by: Shrini Kulkarni, Senior Architect/Principal Engineer at FastSpring
• Ever wonder what it takes to secure DevSecOps for financial transactions in the cloud? Shrini Kulkarni takes us behind the scenes of his expertise with the practical application of DevSecOps principles, and the application of OWASP principles. This is a real-world look at security in action where every transaction counts.
