Daniel Drack - A tale of security, policies, code and reality

Security shouldn't slow you down, it should scale with you.I'll share how we build "Security as Code" using tools and policy engines like OPA, cnspec, and k8s admission controllers. We explain and demo how to discuss, develop, implement and practice key cloud-native security pieces for true defense in depth.

Beginning by clarifying what policies and best practices actually are, and where to source them. From there, we’ll explore how to translate high-level security requirements into concrete technical policies, including how to implement, enforce, and maintain them effectively.
Finally, we’ll briefly discuss the practical challenges of establishing these practices in real-world environments and sustaining them during day-to-day operations.

Christina Haderer, Hans Fiby - From Complexity to Clarity: The Kapsch Deployment Platform Journey

Join us for an in-depth look at the Kapsch Deployment Platform, a foundation for modernizing deployment, development, and operations across diverse infrastructures. This session will explore how we address special customer requirements, such as air-gapped environments, on-premises installations, and strict security needs, while supporting a wide range of product combinations—from tolling to traffic solutions and legacy systems. And finally, a glimpse behind the scenes—because the most valuable lessons often come from real-life challenges.
