Struggling with Kubernetes security risks? Designed for Kubernetes administrators and security professionals, this course teaches you to minimize attack surfaces, secure access, and use kernel tools effectively to protect your cluster.
What you'll learn
It's important to understand system hardening for the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) certification. In this course, System Hardening for CKS, you'll dive deep into securing Kubernetes clusters by addressing critical objectives to reduce vulnerabilities and enhance cluster resilience. First, you’ll learn practical techniques to minimize the host OS footprint. Next, you'll implement least-privilege identity and access management. Then, you'll restrict external network access. Finally, you'll leverage kernel hardening tools like AppArmor and seccomp. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to harden Kubernetes clusters effectively, applying best practices to minimize risks, secure access, and use advanced tools to meet CKS certification objectives with confidence.
