Announcing the First-Ever Open Cloud Security Conference – CFP Now Open!

— This is a repost from OpenCloudSecurity.org —

If you care about securing cloud environments with open-source tools, this is the event you’ve been waiting for.

On April 8, 2025, we’re launching the inaugural Open Cloud Security Conference (virtual, because global problems need global solutions). Expect real technical insights, deep dives into security tools, and zero vendor nonsense.

This is a conference for people actually doing security—not just talking about it.

🎤 Call for Papers – Bring the Good Stuff

We’re looking for practitioners, researchers, and open-source builders to share their knowledge. If you’re doing something interesting in open-source security, cloud pentesting, compliance, or threat detection, we want to hear from you.

Suggested Topics (but not limited to):

✔️ Open-source security tools & best practices (the ones that actually work)
✔️ Cloud pentesting methodologies & real-world case studies (not just theory)
✔️ Threat detection & response in cloud-native environments (because attackers aren’t waiting)
✔️ Lessons learned from securing multi-cloud environments (yes, we know it’s painful)
✔️ Open cloud governance & policy considerations (how to secure cloud infra without being a compliance bottleneck)

If you’ve got something that doesn’t fit neatly into these categories but still pushes the conversation forward, submit it.

📅 Submission Deadline: March 20, 2025
📩 Submit your proposal here: Submit now

🛠️ Why You Should Attend
✔️ Deep dives into security tools and strategies you can implement immediately.
✔️ Live Q&A and discussions—because security is a team sport.
✔️ A global community of engineers, researchers, and defenders who care about Open Cloud Security.
