We often hear about chaos engineering in the context of reliability, but what if we applied that same philosophy to security? In this session, I’ll explore the emerging field of Security Chaos Engineering. In this innovative practice, we intentionally inject failures and simulate attacks to uncover hidden security weaknesses before adversaries do.

Using open source tools like ChaosMesh, LitmusChaos, and KubeArmor, I'll demonstrate how teams can proactively test assumptions about their security posture. From simulating pod compromise in Kubernetes to testing firewall rule effectiveness under duress, the session will walk through real-world scenarios where controlled chaos leads to deeper system hardening.

Rather than reacting to incidents, what if we could break things on purpose—and make our systems safer.
