Knowledge * Modern offensive-security methodology and the current exploit / zero-day landscape. * Strengths and limits of frontier vs. local LLMs for security automation (agentic tool-use, reasoning depth, cost-per-task). * Data-egress / sovereignty constraints: why IP and recon-enabling data must stay in-perimeter; private-cloud (AWS Bedrock) vs. rented-hardware trade-offs. * iGaming / regulated-infrastructure context and certification constraints (build-time vs. run-time AI) - strong plus. * Defensive side - SIEM, anomaly detection, incident response - plus. ## Related Videos - [The AI Security Survival Guide: Practical Advice for Stressed-Out Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1015-the-ai-security-survival-guide-practical-advice-for-stressed-out-developers) - [Chatbots are going to destroy infrastructures and your cloud bills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1130-chatbots-are-going-to-destroy-infrastructures-and-your-cloud-bills) - [ Evaluating AI models for code comprehension](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1462-evaluating-ai-models-for-code-comprehension) - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Testing AI Agents: Automated Evaluation for Chatbots & RAG Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100300-testing-ai-agents-automated-evaluation-for-chatbots-rag-systems) - [Speak, Code, Deploy: Transforming Developer Experience with Voice Commands](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1159-speak-code-deploy-transforming-developer-experience-with-voice-commands) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Dev Digest 138 - Are you secure about this?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/486-dev-digest-138-are-you-secure-about-this)
