Back from KCD Helsinki 2026

We are back from KCD Helsinki on 20 May 2026, and what a great day it was. The Nordic cloud native community turned up in force, the talks were sharp, and the conversations at our booth ran from the first coffee to the closing drinks.

Our booth, ready for a day of conversations about runtime security.

Three things we kept hearing at the booth

The same concerns came up again and again, across very different teams.

1. CVEs are still a headache. New ones keep piling up faster than most teams can work through them, and the recent Linux kernel exploits were cited over and over as a specific source of pain.
2. Supply-chain attacks remain front of mind. They are still rampant and a real worry for many of the people we spoke to. The news that GitHub had been compromised on the same day as the event made the point for us.
3. The sheer speed of the industry. The current velocity of code output, the rate at which new CVEs are discovered, and a time-to-exploit collapsing toward zero are all weighing on security teams and platform engineers.

Proud to be a gold sponsor of KCD Helsinki 2026.

We are grateful for all the high-quality discussions throughout the day, and for the genuine interest in how we tackle these challenges. bifrost builds protection from the actual runtime behaviour of your workloads, prioritising the CVEs that can really reach your code and blocking the rest at the kernel. If you missed the event but recognise the list above, let’s chat and see how we can help improve your application security posture.

We also ran a booth survey with a LEGO Ducati Panigale up for grabs. Congratulations to our winner, and thanks to everyone who took part.

Thanks once again to the organisers at Cloud Native Finland for a brilliantly run event. We were happy to sponsor it, and we are already looking forward to the next one.
