We are delivering faster than ever, but if security is still the final step before production, your team is at risk.Â
We are excited to announce that Alap Patel is joining us at MoTaCon to show you exactly how to solve this problem. Alap will demonstrate how to use OWASP ZAP to turn your existing functional UI and API tests into continuous security scans without rewriting a single line of your current framework.
What you’ll learn
-  Strength your automation frameworks with a ready‑to‑use blueprint
- Â Enable a true Shift-Left approach to security
-  Learn early‑stage vulnerability detection
This isn't about becoming a security specialist, it is about operationalising meaningful security feedback through the automation you have already built.
