This session is designed for security, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure engineers who want a practical understanding of Kubernetes security, without getting overwhelmed about what they might have missed.

We will cover:
* What is Kubernetes and why does it matter: why it has become the backbone of modern infrastructure, and why securing it is not optional
* Why pods and containers are a big deal: share examples on how minor configuration missteps can significantly expose critical workloads.
* Common mistakes and misconfigurations to avoid issues such as overly permissive service accounts, deployment to default namespaces, and unverified images.
* How Kubernetes handles security by default: discuss built-in security components such as RBAC, TLS, and container images integrity.
* Practical ways to secure your clusters: discuss how to utilize open-source tools (like Falco, Trivy) and best practices for logging and monitoring to protect your clusters

Key Takeaways
* Understand Kubernetes architecture and why it is crucial to secure your workloads properly
* The built-in security features in Kubernetes and their limitations
* Recognize the common misconfigurations and learn how to avoid them
* Gain practical, actionable tips and essential tools to harden your cluster
