What you'll learn

Kubernetes makes it easy to deploy applications quickly, but insecure defaults and weak workload controls can expose production environments to unnecessary risk. In this course, Kubernetes Hardening and Data Protection, you'll gain the ability to secure Kubernetes workloads using practical, defense-in-depth techniques. First, you'll explore how to strengthen container images with vulnerability scanning and apply runtime security controls. Next, you'll discover how to enforce secure workload configurations using Pod Security Admission (PSA), OPA Gatekeeper and Kyverno. Finally, you'll learn how to protect sensitive data with encryption at rest, external key management concepts and automated Secret rotation. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of Kubernetes workload security needed to harden production workloads and reduce security risk in real-world environments.
