Presentation:
"Automating Protocol Security Testing: Building a Scalable Testing Framework"
w/ Gurdeep Gill
Manual security testing creates bottlenecks in modern software delivery. This talk presents a practical case study of building an automated security testing framework that significantly reduced validation time while dramatically expanding test coverage.
Drawing from experience validating TLS/SSL security across thousands of protocol scenarios, this session covers the complete automation journey: architectural decisions, implementation challenges, unexpected failures, and lessons learned from production deployment
