Madhu Akula - The Kubernetes Battleground: Mastering Attack and Defense in Cloud-Native Clusters $2,600 April 2025
DESCRIPTION: Kubernetes has become the defacto of modern cloud-native infrastructure, driving over 80% of production deployments globally (CNCF 2024 survey). Its adoption exposes organizations to evolving attack vectors, from supply chain vulnerabilities to runtime exploitation. Security teams often lack the skills to defend these complex, dynamic environments. In this advanced training, participants will explore the perspectives of attackers and defenders via hands-on labs, real-world scenarios, and actionable insights. You'll master techniques to exploit Kubernetes environments and deploy robust defenses. By understanding both sides of the battlefield, participants will gain an unparalleled edge in securing Kubernetes clusters while learning how attackers exploit weaknesses. THINGS YOU’LL LEARN: Exploit Kubernetes clusters by targeting infrastructure, workloads, and cloud integrations. Secure clusters using tools, benchmarks, and frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK for Containers.
