OPEN Session: Navigating the Edge-Cloud Bridge: Building Resource Optimized IoT/Edge Assistants with LLMs

Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

David vonThenen, DigitalOcean, Senior Developer Advocate II, AI/ML

The future of IoT and Edge devices lies in seamlessly integrating voice-assisted AI interfaces with cloud capabilities. This session provides a hands-on exploration of how to architect efficient, voice-driven solutions using Large Language Models (LLMs) while balancing the demands of edge computing and cloud resources.
Key takeaways include:
Making informed decisions about where to run GPU-intensive AI processes, weighing edge performance against cloud scalability, privacy, and security.
Designing modular, voice-first AI architectures that adapt to diverse IoT/Edge use cases.
Practical demonstrations showcasing designs that perform tasks with voice-driven AI in hybrid edge-cloud environments.
Attendees will gain practical insights into choosing the right workloads to deploy on resource-constrained edge devices versus the cloud, leveraging open-source tools and frameworks. By the end of this session, you’ll leave equipped to build smarter, voice-enabled IoT/Edge systems with architectures that maximize both resource efficiency and innovation.

OWASP Security Summit: 30 Tips for Secure JavaScript

Wednesday February 12, 2025 3:00pm - 3:25pm PST

Tanya "SheHacksPurple" Janca, SheHacksPurple, Secure Coding Trainer
OWASP Certified

In this talk, we will cover 30 tips for writing more secure JavaScript, emphasizing what to do, what NOT to do, and utilizing open-source tooling to enhance security. JavaScript is not only the most popular web programming language, but it also faces security threats like XSS and code injection, meaning we need to ensure our JavaScript is tough, rugged, and secure. We’ll touch only upon items that are specific to JavaScript, as opposed to agnostic topics that apply to all languages, such as encryption or authentication. By the end, you’ll gain insights into selecting the best framework, adopting secure coding practices, and leveraging tools for web application security, catering to both seasoned developers and beginners seeking practical guidance.
