Security engineers' Birds of Feather (BOF)

Birds of Feather (BOF) discussion where participants share experiences, insights and stories from production

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.
This space thrives on participation - it works best when everyone contributes from their own experiences.
If your role or employer restricts you from sharing details of your work, we recommend that you attend Rootconf meet-ups instead, which are designed around talks and are better suited for a more passive, consumption-driven format.

About the facilitator

This month’s Rootconf security engineers’ BOF will be led by Rohit Kumar. Rohit is a Product Security Engineer @ Groww. He loves working on Supply Chain Security and source code security domain.

Rohit taught a workshop on eBPF at Rootconf 2025 and spoke about uncovering supply chain attacks with eBPF.

👥 Who should join?

• 🔹 Security engineers working on AppSec, CloudSec, Supply Chain Security, CI/CD, and more!
• 🔹 Anyone eager to share real-world experiences, challenges, and solutions in security engineering.

💡 We start with a topic or two, then let the conversation flow organically:
🚫 No sales pitches.
🚫 No conversation hogs.
✅ Just great discussions! 🎯

🚫 Who is this NOT for?

🚫 SOC analysts & pentesters — this is an engineering-focused session.
🚫 This is not a beginner-friendly session (no “how to start in security” or “which certs to get”).

We’re here to tackle real-world engineering challenges together! 💪

🏢 What to expect?

✅ A chill space with a table, chairs, and like-minded peers.
✅ Water to stay hydrated. ☕
✅ A snack from the corner chai shop 🍪 (if contributions are made!)

🎟️ How to join?

✅ FREE for Rootconf members!
✅ Non-members can attend for free. Snack contributions will be shared at the venue.
