 e table: BOF where participants share experiences\, insights and stories f
 rom production\n**This Birds of a Feather (BOF) session is an informal but
  deeply technical and safe space for security engineers to exchange ideas 
 and work through real-world challenges with peers.**\nThis space thrives o
 n participation — it works best when everyone contributes from their own
  experiences.\nIf your role or employer restricts you from sharing details
  of your work\, we recommend attending [Rootconf](https://hasgeek.com/root
 conf) meet-ups instead\, which are designed around talks and are better su
 ited for a more passive\, consumption-driven format.\n\n## About the stewa
 rd \nThe monthly Rootconf security engineers' BOF is led by Chandrapal Bad
 shah\, a cloud security consultant. Chandrapal has volunteered at **Rootco
 nf online reviews** on [Drove](https://hasgeek.com/rootconf/drove-containe
 r-orchestrator-technical-review/sub/review-and-feedback-for-drone-containe
 r-orchestrat-8HJoB6mbxssVPHNGh8T6hQ) and [Kubernetes Security Posture Mana
 gement](https://hasgeek.com/rootconf/secure-your-kubernetes-posture-techni
 cal-review/sub/review-cost-effective-kubernetes-security-optimizi-8hZqXbMn
 GPMzqS763SUjve). He has also spoken at Rootconf Mini 2024 on [securing clo
 ud infrastructure](https://hasgeek.com/rootconf/2024/sub/with-infinite-sca
 le-comes-infinite-bill-and-bankru-B8uzKrPXVgmwpAr9Syui3o) \n\nChandrapal
 ’s also writes the **[Cloud Security Newsletter](https://cloudsecurity.c
 lub/)**. Subscribe! \n\n## 👥 Who should join?  \n- 🔹 **Security engi
 neers** working on **AppSec\, CloudSec\, Supply Chain Security\, CI/CD\, a
 nd more!**  \n- 🔹 Anyone eager to share **real-world experiences\, chal
 lenges\, and solutions** in security engineering.  \n\n💡 We start with 
 a topic or two\, then let the conversation flow organically:  \n🚫 No sa
 les pitches.  \n🚫 No conversation hogs.  \n✅ Just great discussions! 
 🎯  \n\n## 🚫 Who is this NOT for?  \n🚫 SOC analysts & pentesters 
 — this is an engineering-focused session.  \n🚫 This is not a beginner
 -friendly session (no “how to start in security” or “which certs to 
 get”).  \n\nWe’re here to tackle real-world engineering challenges tog
 ether! 💪  \n\n## 🏢 What to expect?  \n✅ A **chill space** with a t
 able\, chairs\, and like-minded peers.  \n✅ **Water** to stay hydrated. 
 ☕  \n✅ A **snack from the corner chai shop** 🍪 (shared contribution
 !)  \n\n## 🎟️ How to join?\n✅ **FREE** for [Rootconf members](https
 ://hasgeek.com/rootconf/membership2024/)!  \n✅ Non-members can attend fo
 r free. **Snack contributions** will be shared at the venue.  \n\n## 📞
