Hand on Container Security

In the ever-evolving landscape of containerized applications, ensuring the integrity and security of your container images is paramount. Join us for an immersive, hands-on workshop titled "Hands-On Container Image Security: Mastering Sigstore for Unbreachable Integrity," where we'll dive deep into securing your container images using the cutting-edge open-source tools Cosign and Rekor from the Sigstore project.

This workshop will provide a comprehensive, practical introduction to Sigstore tools, demonstrating how they can be seamlessly integrated into your DevOps workflows. We'll begin with a brief overview of the common security challenges associated with container images and how Sigstore addresses these issues by providing automated and tamper-proof signing and verification processes.

Participants will then engage in hands-on exercises, where they'll:
1. Learn to sign container images and verify their integrity using Cosign. We'll guide you through setting up Cosign, signing your first image, and verifying its signature, ensuring you have a solid understanding of this powerful tool.
2. Delve into using Rekor, Sigstore's transparency log, to record and verify signed image metadata. You'll experience firsthand how Rekor enhances security by providing an immutable log of all signed images, ensuring accountability and traceability.
3. Discover how to seamlessly integrate these tools into your existing DevOps pipelines, automating the signing and verification process, and ensuring that only trusted and verified images make it to production environments.

By the end of this workshop, you'll have gained hands-on experience with Sigstore tools and a deep understanding of how to implement them in your own environment. This session is tailored for DevOps engineers, security professionals, and software developers who are committed to enhancing their container security practices.
