Japan, I'm coming!!

Excited to share that I will be speaking at DevOpsDays Tokyo 2026 (Apr 14-16) on the topic- 'The Autonomous SOC: AI-Driven Supply Chain Security and SBOM Remediation'

The timing could not be more relevant. The last two weeks were a supply chain security disaster:

' TeamPCP compromised Trivy (a security scanner) and cascaded through 5 ecosystems in 8 days
' LiteLLM (95M downloads/month) was backdoored via stolen PyPI credentials from the Trivy breach
' Axios (83M downloads/week) was hijacked via a stolen npm token, deploying a cross-platform RAT
' OpenAI Codex had a command injection flaw that turned Git branch names into credential-stealing payloads
' Claude Code's entire source code leaked via a .map file accidentally shipped to npm

Every one of these exploited the same structural flaw: AI and developer tools hold elevated credentials by design, and nobody is monitoring them with SOC-level rigor.

That is exactly what this talk is about. How to build a closed-loop system that catches these before they cascade. I will post some content about this in the upcoming days.

Also going to be in Hong Kong'' and Malaysia'' around the same time. Would love to meet builders and the tech community across all three countries.

Anyone in Japan, Hong Kong, or KL up for coffee chats, meetups, or office tours' Please hit me up!!

Thanks Alex Papadimoulis and the DevOpsDays Tokyo team :)
