TALKS

OWASP Introduction, Welcome and News - Vladislavs Kolosovs, Andrey Gubarev - OWASP Riga Chapter Leaders

Threat Modelling Workshop - Andrey Adamovich
In this workshop, we’ll collaborate live on a Miro board to analyze a simple system architecture, uncover potential threats, and propose mitigations. We’ll demystify threat modeling using the STRIDE framework to identify risks and the DREAD methodology to prioritize them.

Applying OWASP to GraphQL - Gvido Bērziņš
A lot of people still don't know what is GraphQL and refuse or don't know how to hack it, so let's try to change that, by demistifying it and applying OWASP Top 10 techniques and tools to test it just like a regular old REST API.

GraphQL is still a relatively new technology that is still worth hacking with many implementations and not enough security controls built in, that's what we're going to talk about.
