Birthday CTF
Our birthday CTF is a completely FREE to play DevSecOps hacking competition to celebrate our 2nd birthday!
We will be running it from our offices in Northallerton, but anyone can play over the internet.






Head in the Clouds
In partnership with Gravitas Recruitment, Simon is presenting a virtual talk on DevSecOps.
In this talk, we will discuss how security tools and practices can be layered into DevOps to ensure that risk is managed but the flow of work is not unnecessarily constrained. We will talk about how you can automatically scan applications and environments for vulnerabilities, enforce robust frameworks and build better processes so security doesn’t fall between the gaps.


OWASP Newcastle
Simon is giving a talk on “An Intro to DevSecOps” at OWASP Newcastle!
OWASP Newcastle returns with two talks lined up for a fantastic evening.
Robin Fewster will draw on his experience to discuss Threat Modelling approaches and tooling before our very own Simon Gurney discusses how we can reward developers for developing securely, rather than punishing them when they dont!


DTX Manchester
Simon and Daniel will both be attending DTX Manchester and giving their joint talk on automating security through DevSecOps.
DTX has been a fantastic conference for us in the past, and we are looking forward to our return this year!



BSIDES Dublin
Daniel will both be talking about subdomain takeovers, a novel attack where hackers take over your vulnerable subdomains to steal user cookies and impersonate your brand.
We’ve also built a tool to help, see dnsReaper

Having secrets, passwords and certificates in your codebase is a bad idea (even if they’re private!)
Join us as we discuss how can we detect these secrets and how should we handle the secrets we find.




Live Hack Demo (Cloud)
Witness a live cyber-attack simulation and hear from the experts on what you can do to both respond to a cyber incident and protect yourself.

OWASP Newcastle
Simon is giving a talk on “Driving the most out of DAST” at OWASP Newcastle!
Unlike SAST and IAST, DAST can be a difficult tool to implement and configure in DevSecOps pipelines. In this session, we will explore why this is and what the real prerequisites are to getting meaningful results from DAST tooling.
Simon will explore a few different DAST tools, including ZAP, and discuss how using functional testing scripts can help navigate your apps and drive out DAST findings.


DTX
The Team will be out in force to bring our DevSecOps CTF to DTX!
We will have 5 terminals, and plenty DevSecOps puzzles for players to solve! Of course, the prestigious Punk flashy badges will be up for grabs!
