⚙️ Technical Spotlight: New Session at BSides Luxembourg 2026

☁️💥 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗗 𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦: 𝗣𝗢𝗞𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗞𝗘, 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗛 – Kat Fitzgerald ( @rnbwkat ) 🔐☁️

Cloud breaches aren’t going away—they’re evolving.

Forget the classic “public bucket” mistakes. In 2026, real-world breaches are driven by over-privileged identities, risky SaaS integrations, forgotten environments, and insecure defaults in AI and Kubernetes. These aren’t obvious missteps—they’re systemic risks hiding in plain sight.

This talk breaks down the modern hierarchy of cloud misconfigurations based on recent breach data, then shifts the focus from reacting to preventing. Using Policy as Code (PaC), security becomes proactive—blocking risky deployments before they ever reach production.

You’ll also explore the Toxic Trilogy: assets that are publicly exposed, highly privileged, and critically vulnerable. When these overlap, breaches aren’t just possible—they’re predictable.

Kat Fitzgerald ( @rnbwkat )is a Chicago-based cybersecurity professional with a passion for cloud security, OSS, and creative defensive strategies. Known for blending technical depth with a unique personality (and a certain opinionated flamingo), Kat brings real-world insights into modern cloud risks and how to stop them before they start.
