We can't wait to show you what we've been working on since our last time seeing the Kubernetes and Cloud Native communities. We continue to go swagless, and dedicate this year's sponsorship to the Chicago-based nonprofit [Hak4Kidz](https://www.hak4kidz.com/), an organization dedicated to helping "kids learn about cyber safety, security, and ethics from leaders in the field by appealing to their natural curiosity and desire to play." Read on to find out where we'll be, how to connect with us, and how to join us in supporting Hak4Kidz.  ## Where We'll Be ### Expo Hall: Booth #O40 ![Screenshot 2023-10-17 at 12.31.01 PM](https://blog.rad.security/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202023-10-17%20at%2012.31.01%20PM.png?width=250&height=351&name=Screenshot%202023-10-17%20at%2012.31.01%20PM.png)   We will be in the startup section to the very back of the secondary entrance.

We will dive into every step of the authorization flow from a workload to a cloud service for how those decisions are made and ways they can be abused. This includes Kubernetes RBAC, Kubelet authorization, AWS IAM roles, S3 bucket policies and more. The talk will discuss various options of identity provider integrations such as SAML and OIDC and how they each have unique attack vectors in the auth workflow. To conclude, we’ll summarize attack techniques that would best leverage misconfigurations of this complicated flow. Don't have a ticket to Rejekts yet?
