The inaugural Open Cloud Security Conference marked a significant milestone, bringing together security engineers, cloud architects, and open source developers to collaboratively enhance cloud security through shared knowledge and open standards. Hosted by Toni de la Fuente, the conference featured discussions on real-world incidents, open source tools, compliance automation, and more, with participation from major cloud providers and startups alike. Following the success of the event, the Open Cloud Security Community Series was launched to continue the dialogue through blog posts, webinars, and other contributions from the cloud security community. This initiative emphasizes community-driven innovation and aims to foster ongoing collaboration in securing the cloud, with plans to reconvene next year for the second conference.
