The Security Slam is a new event for CNCF projects to improve their security posture while attracting new contributors through a fun and collaborative event leading up to KubeCon, with recognition, awards, and giveaways at KubeCon. We will leverage CNCF’s CLOMonitor that measures each project’s progress toward meeting CNCF project standards. Maintainers and contributors will work together to raise their score and win prizes for their effort.
