The Immediate and Lasting Benefits of TAG Security Assessments - Eddie Knight, Sonatype & Ben Hirschberg, ARMO

Thursday April 3, 2025 11:00 - 11:30 BST

Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 3-4

The CNCF community has been doing security assessments through TAG security for years, and the value is clear.

Individual assessors are leveling up their skills, getting more connected with projects, and advancing their careers. Projects are reaching graduation faster, improving their development processes, and finding new ways to provide security features for end users.

This talk from a TAG leader and project maintainer will explore the inner workings of self- and joint-assessments, the value these bring to projects and assessors, as well as the difference between a security assessment and a threat model.

Thursday April 3, 2025 11:45 - 12:15 BST

Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 3-4

Kubernetes SIG Security takes a community-building approach to improving security for end users, project maintainers, and the Kubernetes project itself. Much like a garden thrives with careful planning, diverse plants, and collaboration, we use the same techniques to ensure our community is well tended and blooming. Join us as we introduce the next generation of SIG Security leadership and talk about succession plan(t)ing to ensure a smooth transition, encourage growth, and maintain the values that cultivate and foster the community we’ve built together.

Come learn what we’ve been working on, what we have planned for the future, and how you can get involved. We will go over the many roles required to create a rich community, from the gardeners to the pollinators - it really does take a village! Everyone is welcome: we all have something to teach and something to learn, and we would love to learn from you!

Bring questions, share ideas, and let’s plant some seeds. See you there!
