OpenStack Security Team Update

In this session, Rob Clark and Jeremy Stanley of the OpenStack Security Team offer an update and talk about the team’s priorities for the year ahead. Then, they will engage in a pointed conversation with Sean Michael Kerner, security writer for eWeek, eSecurity Planet, Server Watch, and Enterprise Networking Planet.

Attend this session if you’re interested in agile infrastructure security generally, and OpenStack security in particular. Bring your questions about best practices and architectural/operational choices that can help—or harm—your organization’s attack surface, exposure to vulnerabilities, and ability to respond when an incident occurs.

Sean Michael Kerner will serve as moderator for this session. 

Tuesday, May 9, 3:40pm-4:20pm (7:40pm - 8:20pm UTC)
