ZeekWeek 2022 will be held from October 12th to 14th at the AT&T Hotel and Conference Center located in Austin, Texas. ZeekWeek will be an in-person event. Presentations will be recorded and published after the event.
ZeekWeek is the annual gathering of defenders, developers, incident responders, threat hunters, and security architects who rely on Zeek, a powerful and popular open-source network security monitor.
Share Your Knowledge
Do you want to influence the direction of the Zeek project, and help shape the future of open-source network security? Are you a threat hunter or incident responder who uses Zeek as part of a security stack? Do you have a story that highlights how Zeek helped resolve an issue? Have you developed Zeek scripts or plugins that might be useful to others?
Join us in Austin, TX and share learnings, best practice, challenges, or tips and tricks. It doesn’t matter where you get your Zeek: open source or through a vendor.
In an effort to drive broader participation, our format has evolved to prioritise shorter, more focused talks—many of them scheduled for 20 minutes. In the talk sessions, we’d love to hear your perspective on these and other topics:
- Zeek as a tool for solving a wide variety of problems
- Interesting user stories, solutions, or research projects
- Post-mortem analysis of a security incident, emphasizing Zeek’s contribution
- Value that Zeek brings to your professional work or professional development
- Using Zeek for more than network security
Please note that we are seeking community talks only. Absolutely no product presentations, product marketing, or stealthy product placements!
