Kubernetes security is critical to protect containerized applications and infrastructure from vulnerabilities and threats in complex, distributed environments. Because Kubernetes automates and orchestrates workloads, its large attack surface, multi-tenancy and integration with CI/CD pipelines requires strong security measures to prevent attacks and ensure compliance. Effective security practices help to minimize risks such as privilege escalation, data leakage and supply chain attacks in dynamic cloud-native environments.
This training will provide you with comprehensive practical knowledge on securing your Kubernetes environments. You will learn tools and techniques to increase the security of your Kubernetes environments and minimize risks such as privilege escalation, data leakage and supply chain attacks. You will be able to put what you have learned into practice in a lab environment.
In this training, you will learn how to secure your Kubernetes clusters. You will dive into core security concepts including admission control and best practices for Kubernetes clusters. The training provides hands-on practice in a lab environment enforcing policies, managing access controls, and securing containerized workloads. You will learn to recognize misconfigurations and take effective countermeasures. You will also learn what the most important aspects of Kubernetes security are and where you can start.
