The Next-Gen Security Engineer: Mastering DevSecOps & Secure AI Development
17 November 2026 | Bucharest
Build fast, secure everything
As organizations accelerate software delivery and integrate artificial intelligence into their products, traditional security measures are struggling to keep up. This workshop solves that problem by equipping attendees with a modern, dual-focused skill set.
First, it tackles the secure Software Development Life Cycle. Participants learn how to shift security left by embedding threat modeling and automating critical controls, including SAST, DAST, SCA and secrets management, directly into CI/CD pipelines without slowing down development.
Second, it addresses the complex frontier of AI security. The workshop dives into the main vulnerabilities of AI systems and teaches attendees how to defend against emerging attack vectors. Finally, it explores the essential legal and ethical considerations required to develop responsible AI solutions.
What makes this workshop unique is its end-to-end approach, transforming attendees into engineers capable of securing both today’s automated pipelines and tomorrow’s AI-driven applications.
Why is this workshop relevant?
As organizations race to adopt artificial intelligence and accelerate their CI/CD deployments, the attack surface is expanding faster than traditional security can manage. This workshop directly addresses the two biggest challenges in modern engineering.
It provides attendees with a dual skill set: the ability to automate SDLC security, and the expertise to protect AI systems against threats and compliance risks. It is a session for professionals looking to future-proof their security skills and safely scale next-generation applications.

- application security specialists
- DevSecOps engineers
- software developers
- cloud engineers
- technical leads or architects
- anyone building software or working with modern AI solutions

GEORGE SAFTA
George Safta is a Security Engineer at ING Hubs specializing in DevSecOps and modern application security.
His work focuses on embedding automated security checks into development pipelines and implementing practical defenses for AI-driven applications.
Key learning objectives:
✔ Implement SDLC security: embed security controls such as threat modeling, SAST, DAST, SCA and secrets management directly into modern development workflows.
✔ Develop secure AI systems: understand secure-by-design principles for AI applications.
✔ Mitigate AI vulnerabilities: identify and remediate top AI and LLM attack vectors such as prompt injection, training data poisoning, and supply chain risks in AI dependencies.
✔ Navigate AI governance: apply the essential legal, ethical and safety frameworks when deploying production AI solutions.
Other information & prerequisites
- Software development: a basic understanding of the software development process.
- Cybersecurity: general awareness of common security risks, such as the OWASP Top 10 concepts.
- AI knowledge: no advanced machine learning or data science background is required. Basic familiarity with how AI models and LLMs are used in applications is sufficient.
Technical requirements for attendees:
- Attendees must bring their own laptop running Windows, macOS or Linux.
- Pre-installed software: Git and a code editor such as VS Code.
- An active free GitHub or GitLab account for the pipeline exercises.
