May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

A good reminder that mental health is not always visible, but it is always part of our overall well being. It can show up in different ways, and it is often easy to overlook, both in ourselves and in others.

Taking care of it requires intention. That can mean learning more, checking in with ourselves, or creating space where others feel safe to speak openly.

Call for Papers is now open for BSides Vancouver Island!

We’re inviting speakers from across the community to share their ideas, research, and experiences. Whether you’re presenting something new, lessons learned, or insights from the field, we’d love to hear from you.

BSides Vancouver Island is built on collaboration and knowledge sharing—your voice is what makes it valuable.

🎥 That was BSides Prague 2026…

Not about perfect talks or big headlines —
but people showing up, sharing openly, and building something real.

This is why the community matters. 💙

⚡ Fresh Workshop Alert for BSides Luxembourg 2026!

𝗞𝗨𝗡𝗔𝗜 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗣: 𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦-𝗢𝗡 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗨𝗫 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 – Quentin Jerome

Ready to get your hands dirty with real-world Linux threat detection? This 4-hour hands-on workshop dives deep into Kunai, an open-source security monitoring tool built to bring powerful detection capabilities to Linux environments.

Starting from the basics, you’ll deploy and configure Kunai, explore its architecture, and learn how to monitor and interpret system activity. Then, level up with advanced techniques—writing custom detection rules, integrating Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), and connecting with MISP for enriched threat intelligence.

Through practical exercises and real-world scenarios, you’ll gain the skills needed to detect, investigate, and respond to threats across Linux systems—whether in production or research environments.

Quentin Jerome is a Rust developer at CIRCL, focused on building open-source security tools for threat detection and incident response, with a passion for solving real-world security challenges.
