Practical Cloud Native Security

Course Description

This 3-day training delivers hands-on knowledge in cloud-native security. It introduces concepts, procedures, and best practices for hardening Kubernetes-based systems and container workloads against modern threats. Participants explore every major area of cloud-native security—from cluster setup and operating system hardening to supply chain integrity and runtime protections—while preparing for the Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist (CKS) exam and aligning with GSMA NESAS security requirements.

Main Topics

• Core cloud-native security concepts: SCC vs PSS, RBAC, network policies, namespaces, secrets, auditing
• Container and image hardening strategies for developers
• Policy-aware admission and CI/CD integration for security gates
• Kubernetes cluster hardening, compliance, and monitoring
• Multi-tenancy, logging pipelines, Falco/eBPF runtime sensors
• Operating in air-gapped environments with secure registries
• Security test automation, fuzzing, and performance governance
• Securing delivery pipelines with onboarding playbooks and audit evidence

Target Audience

System administrators, developers, and DevOps engineers who need to understand and implement cloud-native security in practice.

Prerequisites

Linux container knowledge and Kubernetes administration skills (e.g., ComponentSoft Docker and Kubernetes courses).
