45Drives, a leader in open-source storage and virtualization infrastructure, is set to participate in the 2025 Rocky Mountain CyberSecurity Symposium (RMCS) in Casper, Wyoming. The company's Chief Architect, Mitch Hall, will lead a session on designing resilient open-source storage architectures, emphasizing the role of such systems in enhancing cybersecurity for organizations.
The symposium, known for gathering top cybersecurity professionals, will benefit from 45Drives' expertise in open-source solutions like Ceph, ZFS, and their Storinator software. Hall's session aims to demonstrate how these technologies can help organizations reduce attack surfaces and maintain data sovereignty, crucial in today's digital landscape.
An interactive workshop will follow, offering hands-on experience with open-source infrastructure design, including live demonstrations of Proxmox VE and software-defined networking with OPNsense. Additionally, the workshop will feature SnapShield, 45Drives' anti-ransomware software, showcasing its effectiveness in real-time threat detection and neutralization.
Dr. Doug Milburn, President of 45Drives, highlighted the significance of open-source solutions in cybersecurity, advocating for transparency and community-driven infrastructure to combat vulnerabilities inherent in proprietary systems. The event underscores the growing importance of open-source technologies in securing data against evolving cyber threats, offering a viable alternative to traditional, often opaque, enterprise storage solutions.
