The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®) released the two-day schedule for CloudNativeSecurityCon North America 2024 happening in Seattle, Washington from June 26-27, 2024.

With 75 sessions, the developer-first conference will offer a vast range of topics for attendees at any stage of their cloud native security journey.

Program co-chairs Rey Lejano, Solutions Architect at Red Hat, Cailyn Edwards, Senior Security Engineer at Auth0 by Okta, and Marina Moore, PhD candidate at NYU led a program committee of 25 to review 284 submissions. The chosen talks will highlight breakthrough technologies and advances in modern security approaches in order to learn from each other and dive deep into topics that include architecture and policy, secure software development, supply chain security, identity and access, forensics, and more.

“As attacks expand and security threats get more sophisticated, the cloud native ecosystem has persistently focused on strengthening project security posture and developing innovative responses to securing challenges,” said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of CNCF. “As cloud native technology matures and AI technology evolves, security has become an even more important topic and will be discussed in-depth at CloudNativeSecurityCon. Join us in Seattle to get up to speed on the latest, most essential concepts in security today.”

The community-curated schedule will feature sessions from open source community members, including:

- A Mouthful of Mayhem: Taste Test and Gut Response to SLSA, GUAC and Supply Chain’s Plat Du Jour – Shane Lawrence, Shopify

- Got Root? Privilege Escalation (and Remediation!) on Kubernetes – Tiffany Jernigan, Independent

- Kubernetes Node Firewalling from the Inside Out – Jef Spaleta, Isovalent & Justin Garrison, Sidero Labs

- Brave New World: Welcoming New AI Identity Challenges – Gabriel L. Manor, Permit.io

- Level up Your Security Career with the TAG Security Community – Andrew Martin, ControlPlane

CloudNativeSecurityCon will also have two add-on events on June 25th:

- OTel Community Day, for maintainers, contributors, and users of OpenTelemetry to come together and celebrate both our open source work and our successes with Observability.

- Secure AI Summit, which delves into the intersection of artificial intelligence and cloud-native security, offering invaluable insights, strategies, and best practices.
