Security is the backbone of any robust AI application. As we build increasingly complex agentic workflows, the challenge of protecting API keys, tokens, and sensitive credentials becomes critical.

Join GDG Essex for a practical, implementation-focused workshop where we bridge the gap between "coding an agent" and "securing a production app." This session is designed specifically for developers and cloud engineers who want to master secure secret handling in Python applications on Google Cloud.

What’s on the Agenda:

• Deep Dive into Google Secret Manager: Move beyond hardcoded strings and learn to manage sensitive values like a pro.

• Real-World Integration: See how to seamlessly plug secure secret handling into your existing application workflows.

• Engineering Truths: Get the "inside scoop" on common mistakes and practical recommendations based on real engineering experience.

• Agentic Focus: Specialized insights into handling the diverse credentials required for modern AI agents.

Why Attend?

This isn't just a lecture; it's a guide to making your applications useful, accessible, and directly applicable. Whether you’re a veteran cloud engineer or a developer just starting with AI, you’ll walk away with the code patterns and confidence needed to secure your next big build.

Description: This practical workshop will focus on secure secret handling in Python applications on Google Cloud. The session will show how developers can manage API keys, credentials, tokens, and other sensitive values using Google Secret Manager, and how to integrate this approach into real application workflows.

The workshop will be implementation-focused and will include practical recommendations, common mistakes, and lessons from real engineering experience. My goal is to make the session useful, accessible, and directly applicable for developers and cloud engineers.
