Securing the Chain & Practical Tool Evaluation
Join us for an evening of deep-dive technical talks and networking at the Ocado Technology offices in Poblenou. We’re bringing together the local AppSec community to tackle two of the most pressing challenges in modern security: Software Supply Chain integrity and the reality of enterprise tool selection.
🛡️ The Presentations
1. Understanding Software Supply Chain: What it is and best practices to keep it secure
Speaker: Julio Vargas, Head of Solutions Engineering at Xygeni.
The Gist: An essential primer on SSC. We’ll cover why it’s the current "hot" attack vector, explore maturity frameworks, and walk through actionable best practices to keep your pipeline secure.
2. Evaluating security tools in practice: Objectives, methodology, and real-world challenges
Speaker: Fabio Giangrande, Senior Application Security Engineer at Ocado Technology.
The Gist: We’ll get a "behind the scenes" look at how Ocado evaluates Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools while focusing on reachability analysis, architectural fit, and the trade-offs required to reduce noise in a massive enterprise environment.
