### Talk 1: Catch What E2E Tests Miss: Real-World Security Testing with ZAP

Speaker: Marcel Haag (IT-Security Consultant @ CGI)
In modern software projects, it’s no longer enough to rely solely on end-to-end tests to ensure functional correctness. Security must become an integral part of the development workflow.
Marcel will demonstrate how to evolve existing E2E testing strategies into a robust approach for Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST). Using ZAP (zaproxy.org), he will show how to uncover vulnerabilities the way an actual attacker would—fully automated and integrated into your GitHub Actions workflows. This session is packed with hands-on examples of API and full-scan capabilities, making it valuable for DevOps teams and developers alike.

### Talk 2: DevSecOps and AI – Secure software development in the age of artificial intelligence

Speakers: Andreas Falk (Executive Consultant @ CGI) & Dominik Pabst (Executive Consultant @ CGI)
As AI transforms how we write code, it also changes how we protect it. Andreas and Dominik will dive into the evolving landscape of DevSecOps, discussing how to maintain a high security posture while leveraging the speed and power of artificial intelligence.

And of course there will be Drinks and Pizza between the talks :)
