Lightning Talk: Application Security Through the Lens of OpenTelemetry - Yosef Arbiv, Outshift by Cisco

OpenTelemetry, a CNCF open-source project, has become the de facto standard for the generation and collection of telemetry data for observability. Traditionally used for monitoring and troubleshooting, we've discovered its untapped potential in the realm of Application Security. In this talk, we'll share how we leveraged OpenTelemetry to create an API Security product, demonstrating its versatility beyond conventional use cases. We'll delve into the technical and strategic benefits of using OpenTelemetry for security, while also addressing the challenges and areas for improvement. Whether you're a security professional, a developer, or simply interested in the innovative uses of observability, this talk will provide valuable insights into the intersection of OpenTelemetry and Application Security. Attendees will leave with a fresh perspective on application security and practical knowledge of how OpenTelemetry can be harnessed to create better security products.
