June Meetup: The hidden dangerous default container configurations, plus Drupalcon discussion!

User group meeting
Thursday, June 15, 2023
7-9pm
University of Waterloo, HH 119

Albert Heinle from coguard.io will be discussing container security:

There are multiple ways to deploy applications today. The latest standard is using container architectures. These can be either provided through a PaaS, or managed manually through a cloud provider by employing applicable orchestration tools such as Kubernetes. What all approaches have in common is that a set of predefined configurations are used, and sometimes these come with dangerous defaults. It is important to understand what to look for, and how the current security landscape looks like. In this talk, we are going to look at standard Drupal (typically AMP) stacks, and shed a light on how to configure one's container architecture to comply with security benchmarks such as CIS.

As well, we'll discuss Drupalcon Pittsburgh and what we learned from the conference.
