Announcement of Security focused 157th DevClub.lv

HI!

Are you secure? Is your code secure? Are you sure?
Join us at the next DevClub to look at cybersecurity from three different angles — what attackers can discover about you, how AI can help detect and respond to threats, and what to do when an incident actually happens.

You are welcome to Security focused event on August 20, 18:30, at Hotel “Aurum”Dzirnavu iela 113.

Agenda for “Security focused” 157th DevClub.lv

  • Kristaps Felzenbergs from Routed In will give a talk, “OSINT: Know What Attackers See Before They Do.” Join us to discover why regular open-source intelligence (OSINT) reconnaissance is vital for every organization. Attackers map your publicly exposed IT assets long before they strike — do you know what they can find? Kristaps will demonstrate how exposed services, forgotten subdomains, leaked credentials, and misconfigured infrastructure become entry points into your systems and the software you build. You’ll walk away with a toolkit of free, publicly available OSINT tools that anyone can use to run their own reconnaissance and see their organization through an attacker’s eyes.

    Kristaps Felzenbergs is an accomplished entrepreneur and engineer with a deep passion for technology and cybersecurity. He is the founder of Routed In SIA, a cybersecurity consultancy, and recently established HammerProof EU, a venture focused on automating manual cybersecurity reconnaissance processes. His work focuses on innovation in IT, security automation, and empowering the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

  • Agris Krusts from IT Centrs SIA will talk about practical, low-effort AI usage in cyber security – where AI genuinely helps with detection, rapid response and pen-testing, and where it does not. Presentation will include ideas on how to combine regular tools with AI to take over the work of a junior security analyst.

  • Juris Puce from Peak Defence will give a talk “When to Call Ghostbusters (a.k.a. Your CISO): Security in Software Changes”.
    The presentation is aimed at developers, product owners, and development team managers on when to call in the CISO when making changes to software — how to identify the risky parts of a change, when security involvement is formally mandated, and what secure development lifecycle controls and change risk assessments actually mean in practice. Juris will share hands-on experience from Peak Defence’s work providing outsourced CISO services to global and mostly Nordic companies, as well as from building WINGMAN — a virtual, AI-driven CISO. Drawing on patterns seen across many organizations, he will cover how to separate routine changes from genuinely risky ones and how to keep security involvement proportionate rather than bureaucratic.
