Understanding of Linux concepts (users, permissions, networking)
This is a security-focused course, not a Kubernetes basics course

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:

Design a secure Kubernetes deployment architecture
Implement strong identity and access controls for users and workloads
Apply hardening techniques to nodes, pods, and Kubernetes components
Secure container images and implement supply chain safeguards
Protect sensitive data using encryption and Secrets best practices
Implement network segmentation and workload isolation
Detect suspicious activity and analyze audit logs
Build an organizational Kubernetes security policy aligned with best practices
Confidently secure Kubernetes clusters in any environment (cloud or on-prem)

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

Security Foundation Skills

Understand Kubernetes’ internal security architecture
Recognize key attack vectors, misconfigurations, and exploitation techniques
Analyze cluster vulnerabilities using free tools

Access Control Skills

Configure and manage RBAC roles
Implement authentication and secure API access
Apply Pod Security Standards to limit workload permissions

Workload and Cluster Hardening

Restrict container privileges using seccomp, AppArmor, user controls
Apply NetworkPolicies to restrict traffic
Protect etcd, kubelet, and API Server components
Secure Secrets and manage credential lifecycles

Image and Supply Chain Security

Scan images with free scanners (e.g., Trivy)
Build secure and trusted container images
Evaluate third-party add-ons and operators

Cloud & Data Protection Skills

Implement cloud workload identity (AWS/GCP/Azure)
Apply least-privilege access for cloud resources
Encrypt Kubernetes data at rest, backups, and Secret objects

Monitoring & Governance

Enable and interpret audit logs
Monitor cluster activities for anomalies
Identify and respond to Kubernetes security alerts
