What we have been talking about
Recent Fridays have leaned hard on AI and LLM security: agentic security, AI governance, shadow-AI detection, and two consecutive sessions on the security of AI-generated code. Around that: cloud IAM and identity, detection engineering, real-world breach kill chains, vulnerability management past CVSS, European digital sovereignty, threat-intel attribution and ethics, conference debriefs, and plenty of career and interview questions. The best way to get a feel for the range is to browse the recaps or watch a few recorded talks before you join, then come with a question of your own.

Frequently asked questions
Is Cloud Security Office Hours really free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no cost to attend and no sales pitch. CSOH is a community-run, vendor-neutral group. The only thing we ask is that you show up ready to learn and share. There is no sponsored content on the site or in the mailing list; hosting is offset by optional donations.
Do I have to turn on my camera or speak?
No. Participation is entirely optional. Plenty of people join to listen and never say a word, and that is fine. Camera and microphone are off by default unless you choose otherwise. When you do want to jump in, the room is friendly.
Are the sessions recorded?
Some sessions are recorded. A participant is named on a recording only if they agree to it. Posted recordings are in the presentations archive, and every session gets a written summary on the meeting recaps page.
What time are sessions, and what timezone?
Every Friday at 7am Pacific Time. If you are viewing this page, your local equivalent is shown next to the times above, and the add-to-calendar file will place it correctly in your own timezone.
Do I need to already work in cloud security to attend?
Not at all. Attendees range from people still breaking into the field to principal engineers and architects. If you are newer, start with the learning path and what is cloud security, then bring your questions to a Friday session.
How do I present or suggest a topic?
We welcome guest speakers and topic ideas. Email admin@csoh.org or read how to present at CSOH for what a talk looks like and how to pitch one.
