Securing the IT system
Thematic trail
Strengthening digital trust through protected infrastructure, applications, and data
Faced with increasing cyber threats, growing regulatory requirements and ever-increasing dependence on digital systems, cybersecurity has become a strategic issue for all organizations.
Open source now occupies a central place in security strategies. From authentication solutions to monitoring tools, including infrastructure protection, software chain security, and incident management, open technologies offer transparency, auditability, and innovation capabilities.
This theme will highlight approaches, solutions and feedback to strengthen information systems security while maintaining control, resilience and digital sovereignty.
The themes of the course
Identities, authentication, and permissions (IAM)
Identity management is the first line of defense in modern cybersecurity. The conferences will cover open-source access management solutions, strong authentication, Single Sign-On (SSO), identity federation, Zero Trust models, and governance mechanisms for rights and permissions.
Network, system and communications security
Protecting infrastructure remains a fundamental challenge to ensure business continuity. Expected topics include network security, operating system protection, communication encryption, security monitoring, threat detection, and resilient architectures.
Software supply chain security
The rise of open-source components and automated development pipelines necessitates increased vigilance regarding software security. This topic will cover dependency management, Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), artifact signing, securing CI/CD pipelines, vulnerability management, and best practices for secure development.
Data protection, compliance and GDPR
Organizations must reconcile innovation, data exploitation, and regulatory compliance. Feedback on experiences related to data protection, GDPR, information governance, encryption, anonymization, and regulatory compliance is particularly welcome.
Reliable hardware and software platforms
Digital trust also relies on the reliability of the underlying infrastructure. The conferences will showcase initiatives related to open hardware, secure execution environments, platform security, critical infrastructure resilience, and trust mechanisms.
open source security products
The open-source ecosystem now offers a wide range of cybersecurity solutions. This category will host presentations of tools and platforms dedicated to infrastructure protection, identity management, incident detection, monitoring, and risk analysis.
Incident response and crisis management
The ability to quickly detect, contain, and resolve an incident has become essential. The interventions may address security operations centers (SOCs), incident response tools, cyber resilience, crisis exercises, post-incident feedback, and crisis management organization.
