Security Native Europe is a community-driven meetup series dedicated to bridging the gap between critical infrastructure and cloud-native security. Whether you are a seasoned expert or a newcomer, we invite you to join our community to network, learn about emerging projects, and share real-world production lessons.

We meet quarterly to discuss the industry’s most "burning problems," latest security research, and runtime protection strategies. We encourage you to get involved: share your feedback, tell us what topics matter to you, or step up to the stage.

As a CNCF-affiliated community, all participants are required to adhere to the CNCF Code of Conduct.

  • Critical Infrastructure Use Cases: Real-world accounts from operators on how modern tooling is solving traditional infrastructure challenges.
  • "Burning Problems" in Security: Unfiltered discussions on the unsolved gaps in runtime protection, supply chain security, and zero-trust implementation.
  • Latest Security Research: Deep dives into emerging threats or novel defensive strategies within the cloud-native ecosystem.

By submitting the session, you agree to the CNCF Code of Conduct.

Please note that as this is a community-run, not-for-profit event, we are unable to cover speaker travel or accommodation expenses. We look forward to reading your submission!
