Cloud Native Security at tech events
25 write-ups · 21 events · 2024–2026
Here I collect talks and demos on cloud native and container security: zero trust, runtime protection, identity and Kubernetes attack paths. The events I attend, from AWS Activation Day to the Dutch Cloud Native meetups and security summits, keep returning to how clusters get compromised and how teams defend them in practice.
