Virtual conference

OpenVLAN Universe 2025

One day, one stream, zero trust. Free and online — security engineering deep dives, customer war stories, and a look at where network access is heading.

What to expect

Technical talks

Security engineers and network architects on the migrations, the mistakes, and the architectures that survived contact with production.

Product news

The annual state-of-the-network keynote, plus the features shipping this year and the reasoning behind them.

Live workshops

Hands-on labs: tailnet-as-code with Terraform, PAM rollout, and Kubernetes ingress patterns. Bring a laptop.

Agenda highlights

09:00 — Keynote: the network is the perimeter that failed

Where five years of identity-first networking got us, and what the next five look like.

10:00 — From VPN to zero trust: an enterprise migration, honestly

A 4,000-seat rollout: what worked, what broke, what they'd do differently.

11:00 — Workshop: tailnet as code

Manage ACLs, nodes, and DNS from Git with Terraform and the OpenVLAN API.

13:00 — Panel: securing AI infrastructure

GPU fleets, agent identities, and MCP tooling — how security teams are thinking about it.

14:00 — Deep dive: session recording at scale

Recording, storing, and searching privileged sessions without drowning in storage costs.

15:00 — Closing: community lightning talks

Ten minutes each, from homelab absurdity to Fortune-500 rollouts.

Speak at Universe

CFP opens each spring. If you've done something interesting (or instructively painful) with zero trust networking, we want to hear it.
