Locking Down Containers: Developer-Friendly Security for Kubernetes Workloads

About the session

Containers have revolutionized application delivery, but with great flexibility come new security challenges. Misconfigured images, excessive privileges, and overlooked runtime risks can expose your workloads to attacks.

In this session, we’ll dive into practical steps developers can take to harden containerized applications running on Kubernetes and beyond.

Having a look around building secure container images while avoiding common pitfalls, best practices for your CI/CD pipelines.

Next we'll investigate how Kubernetes can help make sure our platform is more secure than the default next-next-finish deployments, by looking at hardening techniques, available policies and least-privilege principles.

After this practical session you’ll have a clear roadmap for securing your workloads without slowing down development velocity. Whether you’re new to containers or already running Kubernetes production clusters, this talk will give you actionable strategies to make security a first-class citizen in your containerized environments.
