Let’s Talk Security

DevOpsDays Ukraine is a part of the global DevOpsDays community. This June, we will have two evenings of online talks from speakers, іgnites from community and Open Space Discussions.

What is DevOpsDays?

The term ‘DevOps’ was popularized thanks to a series of ‘DevOpsDays’ conferences.
The first edition of this Conference was held in Belgium in 2009. Since then, DevOpsDays conferences have spread across the globe.

Welcome speech
Even a seemingly innocent piece of code can contain several vulnerabilities that might take down an entire system. We all know how to deal with SQL-injection and cross-site scripting, but why is this not enough? On the latest OWASP Top 10 list, insecure design has emerged – a strong indication we need a new approach. In this session, I will explore several vulnerabilities, mitigate them, and show how to achive defence in depth using interlocking patterns of Secure by Design.

Sun Tzu, DevOps, and the complexities of cyber warfare in Ukrainian realities

How, what, and why? Russian hackers vs Ukrainian IT companies.

 

During the presentation, Nazar will share optimal strategies and tactics for preparing to defend against cyberattacks. After this talk, you will understand step-by-step how to act and how to protect yourself from cyberattacks.

Extension Unlocked: Granular Secret (Service) Dist. with HashiCorp Vault
HashiCorp Vault offers a robust solution for secrets segregation through App roles. But what happens when a centralized agent (like Airflow) handles requests for multiple clients? Should it retain all the App roles? Should this logic even reside on the client side? Enter Secret-Service—a Python service that embodies centralized logic for seamless Vault secrets management. Clients approach with an ownership tag, and Secret Service takes care of the rest. Join us to explore the logic defined within the Secret-Service and discover how you can leverage it for a streamlined, centralized approach to distributing & segregating Vault secrets.

The Strongest Defense against S3 Ransomware

Context-Based Security: What Your Cloud Native Apps Really Need

We’re all way past understanding why security is a critical piece in our product stacks – from the code, APIs, to the workloads, and runtime. The next step was choosing the scanners and tooling, to ensure a guarded fortress, however all of these come with their own chaos of CVEs, compounding cognitive load. This is where context matters in cloud native security.We’ll dive into how you even get started with what matters, from prioritization, daring to remediate – without breaking prod, how to apply better component security, anomaly detection & how eBPF is simplifying this on all the layers.Come armed with tough questions and come away with good practices for ensuring your security choices are always in context.


Security is becoming de facto in cloud native stacks, however the output of the common tooling requires a lot of context for these complex stacks, and can lead to production breakage and other issues if not properly handled. These security experts will take a look at a different perspective when it comes to security, unpack the still challenging parts, and provide real tips to help you overcome the hard parts and achieve greater security and guardrails for your organization.

Cloud Hacking Scenarios

You’ve been hearing a lot about security best practices, but you’re not convinced they can really make a difference? Do you think your resources are safe only because nobody would notice your random IP address?

 

In this presentation, I will share real-life attack scenarios to convince you that misconfigurations can have dire consequences.

 

Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of real-world examples, complete with screenshots.

I will discuss multiple different attack vectors to demonstrate the diverse range of threats organizations face in today’s digital landscape.

 

As an AWS Ambassador, I will focus on AWS-specific scenarios, but it’s crucial to note that similar risks apply to all major public clouds. Don’t miss this talk on cloud security and how to protect your organization’s valuable assets.

#Talk
Simon Shkilevich
Exploring key OWASP Web Application security Risks and effective ways to minimize them
In his talk, Simon will be discussing the OWASP Top Web Application Security Risks, a comprehensive guide that highlights the most critical security threats to web applications. He will provide insights into each risk, offer recommendations for mitigation, and emphasize the importance of proactive security measures in protecting web applications from potential vulnerabilities.

Generative AI. Why do we need to care about Security

As generative AI technologies become increasingly integrated into our daily lives and business operations, understanding and mitigating their security risks is very important.

 

In this talk we will observe vulnerabilities introduced by AI systems, potential data privacy breaches, prompt injections, data poisoning, deep fakes, and others.


We will take a look into proactive security measures and the role of regulatory frameworks in maintaining safety in the age of generative AI

Worst Practices in DevSecOps
Quite often when we read best practices we are told ‘what’ to do, but not the ‘why’. When we are told to ensure there are no false positives in the pipeline, the reason seems obvious, but not every part of DevOps is that intuitive, and not all ‘best practices’ make sense on first blush. Let’s explore tried, tested, and failed methods, and then flip them on their head, so we know not only what to do to avoid them, but also why it is important to do so, with these DevSecOps WORST practices.

Building Security Protections for Robotic Devices
“No humans – no problems” It is critical to ensure the security of autonomous and robotic devices as they become more integrated into our daily lives. We will talk about building of defence-in-depth, ranging from OS hardening to signed over-the-air updates, as well as the implementation of effective security measures throughout the SSDLC. We will focus on automating common security procedures, as minimising human involvement reduces the chances of mistakes.

Fundraising for surgical aspirators purchasing
Alongside our friends from the UA Responders Foundation, we raise funds for a surgical aspirator for Dnipro University Hospital.
A surgical aspirator is a crucial medical device which removes fluids, mucus, and other substances from the surgical field ensuring proper visibility for surgeons during operations, and reduces the risk of infection and other complications.

Our aim is 1 aspirator which is €1000 or 40,000 UAH
