OWASP Dublin Chapter

OWASP Dublin are delighted to announce Workday will be sponsoring & hosting the next OWASP Dublin chapter meetup.

We will have two great talks from industry experts, details can be found below:

Speaker 1: David Robert
founder of SecurityArchitect.AI. With over two decades of experience in application security, he previously served as Principal Application Security Engineer at Amazon, including work with the Secure AI foundations and payments teams. His work focuses on the core challenge of scaling security reviews without compromising on the security bar.

**Talk Description:
The Human Side of Threat Modeling, and How AI Can Help.

In this talk, we’ll explore the human side of threat modeling: why focusing on attacker goals and business logic is essential, how to capture that in simple, actionable ways, and where automation falls short. We’ll then look at how AI, particularly foundation models, can help bridge the gap, not by replacing instinct, but by scaling it, making those insights more accessible to teams and less experienced practitioners.

We will also have a second talk on Scaling Security for Non-Human Identities: A Zero Trust Approach.

**Talk Description:
At Workday, we've built a comprehensive, proactive security program to address this challenge head-on. In this presentation, we will share how we successfully implemented a scalable security framework that integrates with our diverse ecosystem of SaaS and IaaS platforms. We'll detail our approach, which includes automating alerting to platform owners to ensure accountability and enable rapid response.

Speaker 1:
Sai Charan Goud Alligeri: “Sai Charan Goud Alligeri is a Senior Cyber Security Engineer at Workday with over 10 years of experience protecting digital environments.
