 us before the competition\n   for an introductory session designed to help
  newcomers get up to\n   speed. We'll walk through the challenge format\, 
 the secure development\n   lifecycle it simulates\, and the tools and tech
 niques you'll use - from\n   finding vulnerabilities and implementing secu
 re fixes to leveraging\n   OWASP open source tooling and AI-assisted secur
 ity workflows. Whether\n   you're brand new or just looking for a refreshe
 r\, this session will\n   help you feel prepared and confident before the 
 CTF begins.\n\n   Speakers:Diego Cotelo\,Chris "dafinga" Maenner\,Christia
 n\n   "DeadlyFluVirus" Nuss\n\n   SpeakerBio:  Diego Cotelo\, Staff Cloud 
 & Security Engineer\n\n   I'm a cloud and security engineer working at the
  intersection of\n   infrastructure and security. I harden AWS\, Kubernete
 s\, and GitOps\n   pipelines\, and build tooling that surfaces misconfigur
 ations\, drift\,\n   and blast radius before an attacker finds them first.
  I treat security\n   as an architecture problem\, not a checklist — bre
 aking systems to\n   understand them\, then designing secure-by-default pl
 atforms. I write\n   about offensive and defensive cloud security at dcote
 lo.dev.\n\n   SpeakerBio:  Chris "dafinga" Maenner\, Board Member at BSide
