Tackling The Unique Challenges of Kubernetes & Container Security
Even cybersecurity pros struggle to address the unique challenges of Kubernetes and container security. It can be disorienting to take a career full of knowledge in more traditional platforms and apply it to the leading edge of declarative infrastructure and microservices. This webcast is designed to help security teams get over the initial culture shock of operating within a heavily containerized environment. First, we will look at the unique challenges associated with container security and then we’ll examine how to overcome them by:
- Understanding how the characteristics of containers, such as immutability, and container runtimes affect our approaches to identifying risks and addressing issues
- Gaining visibility into everything being deployed in your environment and understanding the risks of each asset
- Embracing automation to extend your reach and accelerate your response
- Shifting left such that your security policies and processes are embedded into your code development
