Hi everyone!

I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend Cloud Native Security Con 2024 in Seattle, WA. It was my first time at the event, and I was especially excited to meet so many passionate individuals in the security space, particularly those working on CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) projects. I was also honored to be a speaker this year!

Day 1: Travel Adventures

The conference was held at the Seattle Convention Center, a two-day event bringing together the best in cloud-native security. My journey from Quebec City to Seattle was a bit of an adventure as I tried to optimize travel costs. The itinerary? Quebec -> Montreal -> Toronto (YTZ) -> Toronto (YYZ) -> Seattle! It was a long trip, but luckily, everything went smoothly without delays.

Day 2: The First Day of the Conference

I started Day 2 bright and early, eager to collect my badge and take full advantage of the networking opportunities during breakfast. The energy in the room was palpable, and it was great to connect with fellow security professionals before the keynote.

Throughout the day, I attended several insightful sessions. Some of my favorites from Day 1 included:

After soaking in a wealth of knowledge, it was my turn to take the stage! I was thrilled to present at such a large and impactful event. My talk, “Threat Modeling: How to Improve Your Kubernetes Security Posture,” was an amazing experience, and I’m happy to share that the recording is available below. I received a lot of thoughtful questions from the audience, which led to some great discussions afterward.

Day 3: The Second Day of the Conference

Day 3 was just as packed with excellent sessions. I had the pleasure of connecting with some truly brilliant minds in the industry, including Dr. Marina More, who shared valuable insights on the latest trends in cloud security. The conversations we had were both enlightening and inspiring.

In Summary

Cloud Native Security Con 2024 exceeded all my expectations. It was a fantastic event filled with people who are just as passionate about security as I am. From the sessions to the hallway conversations, I walked away with new knowledge and meaningful connections. I’m already looking forward to next year!

Hope to see you there in 2025!

Maxime.
