2023! What a rough start. When I opened the email on my first working day (9 Jan), Have I Been Pwned had already notified me of 5 data breaches. Indeed, data breaches are not only getting more frequent, but also more expensive. Needless to say, this puts pressure on those of us who are responsible for ensuring Kubernetes platform security.

Join this talk if you want to learn:
- basic Kubernetes security hygiene: setting the right scope; fostering the right alerting culture; disaster recovery training; and developing good maintenance habits. This helps the platform team secure Kubernetes against “known knowns”.
- three techniques to security-harden Kubernetes: blocking unnecessary network traffic; doing proper vulnerability management; and using intrusion detection. For each technique, the talk gives an in-depth technical explanation, including why it helps improve security and how to implement it for maximum impact.

At the end of the talk, you will be able to operate a Kubernetes cluster which meets even the most stringent data protection regulations, such as GDPR, MSBFS 2020:7 and Swedish Patient Data Laws. It is suitable both for newcomers and experienced teams which want to get their Kubernetes operations to the next level.
