Your product can pass an automated security check - and still remain vulnerable.

A single overlooked flaw can lead to data leaks, unauthorized access to user accounts, financial losses, or loss of customer trust.

At the new Speaker Talk at Almaty Hub, we’ll explore how to look at your product through an attacker’s eyes and identify vulnerabilities before someone else does.

We’ll discuss why automated scanners don’t catch everything and how to uncover weaknesses hidden deeper in product logic, authorization, APIs, and unconventional attack scenarios.

Speaker - Nurlan Bazarbekov, CISO at Globerce Capital, independent security researcher, and the #1 bug hunter on the Tumar.One platform. Throughout his security research practice, he has discovered vulnerabilities in systems of NASA, Yandex, Toyota Europe, and Dynatrace.

Through practical cases, we’ll explore:
- how to build hypotheses and identify unconventional attack scenarios;
- how to detect authorization issues, IDOR vulnerabilities, and weaknesses in business logic and APIs;
- how to identify SSRF, XSS, and race conditions;
- how a seemingly minor vulnerability can develop into a serious attack chain;
- how to assess the real-world risk to a product and its users.

The session will be useful for developers, CTOs, security professionals, and tech teams looking to build more secure products.

Let's create our own Spider-Man in Blender!

At the workshop, we will be engaged in 3D modeling and sculpting - we will turn a familiar superhero into an original 3D character.

Let's look at how to work with shapes and proportions, create details and give a character character. And the main project will be the Chibi version of Spider-Man.

There will be a lot of practice, work in Blender and the opportunity to go from a simple shape to a ready-made 3D character with your own hands.

If you've been wanting to try yourself in 3D for a long time, it's time to get started!
