Ayse Kaya, Slim.AI data scientist and strategic analyst, to keynote at Kubecon North America: "What we learned dissecting the world's most popular containers"
BOSTON, Sept. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Slim.AI, the Boston-based software supply chain security company, is planning release of its Second Annual Public Containers Report and announced that Ayse Kaya, the company's senior director of strategic insights and analytics, will present the findings during a keynote presentation at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America next month. Slim.AI representatives will also be on hand at KubeCon in Booth SU64 to demonstrate recent product enhancements and celebrate the market momentum the company has achieved since the beginning of the year.
The report will be available at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America. Anyone may sign up to receive the report by visiting the 2022 report landing page. The first report, released in 2021, is currently available for download.
Kaya, a data scientist and container enthusiast, will present "What We Learned Dissecting the World's Most Popular Containers" from the keynote stage at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Detroit on Wednesday October 26. Her team analyzed more than 100 of the world's most popular public container images using open source tools to better understand what developers encounter. They found a vast, varied and complex world that gives developers massive opportunities to scale but also presents risks to both security and productivity. Sharing data, visualizations and insights from the research, Kaya's keynote will demonstrate the current paradox in software supply chain practices, especially the trade-offs teams make between "developer experience" and "production readiness."
Kaya will also present, "A Day in the Life of a Base Image: The Evolution of Vulnerabilities in the Most Popular Containers," on Tuesday, October 25 at 2:30 p.m. EDT.
Additionally, Mritunjay Sharma, member of the technical staff at Slim.AI will participate in a panel discussion on making Kubernetes workloads more secure titled "Say Hi to the New Couple in Town - DockerSlim and Kyverno." This talk will take place virtually on Monday, October 24 at 11:45 a.m. EDT.
