The conference presentation discusses the need for security measures in OpenTelemetry and proposes solutions to potential security risks.
  • The speaker suggests applying the principle of attribute removal and processing at the SDK level to prevent sensitive information from leaving the process.
  • The redaction processor and collector have the capability to blank out sensitive information such as credit card numbers.
  • Baggage is another area where sensitive information can potentially leak and a solution such as a proxy may be necessary to scrub the information.
  • There is a need for a community effort to address common security and privacy questions and provide comprehensive answers.
  • The speaker also mentions the importance of ensuring that any instrumentation provided to users does not include personally identifiable information by default.
