Supply Chain Security for CKS
Struggling with Kubernetes supply chain vulnerabilities? This course equips you with skills to secure your supply chain, minimize image footprints, and analyze workloads, ensuring robust protection for your Kubernetes environment.
What you'll learn
It is imperative to learn to protect your Kubernetes clusters with supply chain security. This course provides a comprehensive guide to achieving the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) objectives, focusing on minimizing risks in containerized environments. First, you'll learn techniques to reduce container image size and attack surface by selecting minimal base images and optimizing dependencies. Next, you'll understand Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), CI/CD pipelines, and artifact repositories, and implement security measures like using permitted registries and signing/verifying artifacts. Finally, you'll utilize analytic tools such as Kubesec and KubeLinter for analyzing user workloads and container images for security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. By the end of the course, you'll know how to secure Kubernetes supply chains, minimize image vulnerabilities, and use static analysis tools to ensure compliance and robust security.
