SPEAKERS AND TALKS

Daniil Orlov | Infrastructure Security Engineer | Exness
Host Base Firewall: Our Way
We'll share our HostBaseFirewall solution. We'll discuss how we approached the solution, the interesting features we tried to implement, and the challenges we encountered during development and implementation.

Andrei Abakumov | CISO | Yandex Fintech
Investigation of the SMS relay incident
This talk will focus on the investigation of an SMS relay incident, specifically a 3-party supply chain attack. We will detail how the incident was discovered, the steps taken, a timeline with technical descriptions, and future action items.

Ivan Agarkov | Infrastructure Lead | Wargaming
Writing nginx Module for Security Mitigations
We will explore how to patch tricky vulnerabilities that can't be fixed on the app side, but can be resolved with an interim proxy. Using a high-level language like Rust, we'll cover when and when not to use this approach, environment setup, module development, testing, deployment, and potential caveats.

Jessica Velonis | Information Security Analyst | QIC Digital Hub
Remote and Resilient: Why Secure Remote Work Still Works
This talk demonstrates how modern security practices, such as identity management, zero-trust architecture, and proactive monitoring, can make remote work sustainable, dispelling the myth that it compromises security or collaboration. Attendees will gain actionable strategies for maintaining security and operational efficiency in distributed teams, making it ideal for those championing remote or flexible work.

After the presentations, we organize drinks and snacks to chill and start insightful conversations with like-minded people. Join us, and let's enjoy a fantastic evening together!
