Milic Vuletic’s Security career recipe: throw in 10 years of development, mix with 10 year of testing experience, spice it with a lot of passion for Security; bring offensive security into the pot and add commitment to explore new things. And here you are leading Cyber Security Team in Levi9. Join his session and find out more about phishing, how it is done and how to avoid it.

Data is a new security boundary

Modern application platforms gather, process and store data everywhere: from mobile apps and web to backend services, data warehouses, ML models, and BI analytics tools. The data protection approach has switched from “protect the data where it’s stored” to “protect the data wherever it exists”.
We will talk about data security 101: application level encryption (ALE), end-to-end encryption (E2EE), searchable encryption, and zero knowledge / zero trust architectures. Then we will discuss how data security is combined with traditional security controls (appsec & infrasec) to build secure & resilient systems.

Anastasiia Voitova builds security tools for protecting data during the whole lifecycle (encrypt everything!). She shares a lot about “boring cryptography”, end-to-end encryption, data security, zero knowledge / zero trust systems, software security architecture. She speaks on international conferences, conducts workshops and training for developers, and co-organizes cybersec events.

Blockchain security through transparency

Together we will look into how blockchain works, what are the new security paradigms, what are weak points and how security in blockchain is achieved through transparency.

The Red Cross of the Internet

The Dutch Institute for Vulnerability Disclosure (DIVD) scans the internet for vulnerabilities and reports these to people who can fix them. Shairesh will go into some of the recent cases, ranging from KaseyaVSA, to Log4j in 2021 and shares some of the 2022 highlights. He will also give an introduction on how the DIVD has professionalized vulnerability disclosure and why they are allowed to somewhat break laws on computer crime and privacy.
