Hacking and Defending a Kubernetes-based Application

Container orchestration tools are all the buzz right now. It almost seems like every company in the DevOps modality is either using or moving to Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or one of their competitors. In this on-demand webinar, InGuardians CTO, Jay Beale, will hack a Kubernetes cluster, attacking a single service and moving on to complete compromise. Then he’ll put on his white hat, demonstrating how you could prevent the cluster compromise.

Following Jay’s demo-intensive introduction to Kubernetes hacking and hardening, BeyondTrust Product Manager, Martin Cannard, will demonstrate how DevOps teams can leverage privileged access management (PAM) security solutions to protect all parts of the orchestration stack.
