State of Open Con 2025

Imagine the inevitable has already happened—you’ve had a security breach—and you’re now dealing with the aftermath. Organisations must act fast to ensure business returns to operations quickly while also figuring out how to prevent similar incidents in the future. By adopting new use cases, engineering teams are simultaneously accelerating the deployment of sensitive data across multi-cloud architectures and tapping into new risk factors.

In this talk, we will use the “Data Security Bang” analogy and learnings from resilience engineering to answer questions such as: How could we do more left of bang (prevention) to help with the speed of right of bang (remediation)? The audience will be guided through a set of example scenarios in a 90s-style game, using Kanister, OPA, and Prometheus, in which they can make decisions on data security to guide the way towards a more robust infrastructure.
