About this event

Topic: OpenStack Security

Security is a primary concern for cloud users and deployers alike. OpenStack in particular has a very active and vibrant community, with over 1800 contributors to the latest release, but also faces the same security challenges that any large software project does. How should we deal with vulnerabilities? What secure configuration choices should I use when deploying a cloud? As a developer what do I need to know to write secure code? Since 2012 the OpenStack security project has existed to help answer these questions and develop tools and guidance. This talk will briefly discuss the various initiatives the OpenStack security project are involved in and provide information for interested developers, security professionals, and students to get involved.
