Fortress in a Box: Enterprise-Grade Kubernetes Security for the Organizations That Can't Afford It

Sunday September 13, 2026 11:00am - 11:50am CDT

Swissôtel Chicago

In 2022, the Red Cross was breached and data from 515,000 vulnerable people was exposed. Amnesty International was surveilled by state-sponsored attackers. Bellingcat, the group that documents war crimes, is a constant target of state actors trying to destroy evidence.
These organizations protect the most vulnerable, and have zero security budget to defend themselves.
This talk presents Fortress in a Box, an open-source, one-command Kubernetes security platform built specifically for NGOs, journalists, and human rights organizations. It implements four layers of defense-in-depth: CI/CD scanning with Trivy, admission control with Kyverno, real-time runtime threat detection with Falco, and GitOps self-healing with ArgoCD — fully configured, zero Kubernetes expertise required.
Attendees will see a live demo where Kyverno blocks an insecure deployment and Falco catches unauthorized container access in seconds, routing alerts directly to Discord — no SIEM required.
Takeaways: a clear understanding of how defense-in-depth works in Kubernetes, the specific policies that block the most common attack vectors, and how to deploy Fortress in their own infrastructure that same day.
