Keynote 1: Securing the Container Lifecycle – From Dockerfile to Running Pod in a Kubernetes Cluster

Speaker - Goran Bogojevic

This session will delve into the security risks and challenges encountered across the entire container lifecycle, from writing a Dockerfile to running a pod in a Kubernetes cluster. Drawing from real-world customer experiences, we will examine common vulnerabilities at each stage—whether in the GitHub repository, during CI/CD automation, or while pushing to container registries. Attendees will gain insights into how organizations in the field are addressing these challenges, ensuring that each step, from development to deployment, maintains the integrity of their security posture. This talk will offer practical strategies and industry best practices to safeguard cloud-native environments against evolving threats

Keynote 2 :Beyond the Black Box: AI's Role in Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity

Speaker:

This presentation covers the most recent topics in adversarial machine learning, AI in quantum cryptography, and explainable AI to demonstrate how AI makes security both better and worse. We will also be taking a deeper look at ethical considerations, threat hunting proactively, and integrating AI into autonomous systems to bring about a complete picture of the transformation that AI brings into safeguarding digital assets.
