This talk was given at Future Tech 2026.
Hacks, data breaches, ransomware... you keep hearing about it in the news. To effectively protect your business and/or software, you need to know where the vulnerabilities are. And what better way to find out than by attempting to hack yourself? In this session, we will explore how hackers operate and which tools you can use to hack (your own) applications. Additionally, we will examine the most common types of vulnerabilities, how to practice exploiting them, and what measures can be taken to prevent them. Checking the security of your software is an ongoing process. Therefore, we will also explore options for integrating ethical hacking tools into pipelines to repeatedly assess your application for vulnerabilities. Last but not least, I'll share tips on keeping your colleagues sharp by applying Social Engineering.
