Description

Hackers gonna hack. They have their own motivations, and they don’t care about your constraints. As attackers, they want to find vulnerabilities and exploit them. As a defender, your mission is to stop them. Mistakes can be easy to make, but with the right configuration and attention to security best practices, many attacks can be prevented.

Ian Coldwater offers practical advice about securing your Kubernetes clusters, from an attacker’s perspective. Ian walks through the attack process from discovery to postexploitation and shares tools and techniques that can be used for prevention. Join in to learn how to keep your infrastructure safer by making a hacker’s job harder.
