In today's cloud-native landscape, Kubernetes has become the backbone of modern application deployments—but with great power comes great responsibility. As more organizations migrate to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), ensuring a strong security posture becomes non-negotiable. From misconfigured workloads to supply chain vulnerabilities, container environments are an attractive target for attackers.

This talk dives into why Kubernetes security is crucial and how Google Cloud's ecosystem provides robust tools to help secure your containerised workloads end-to-end. We'll walk through actionable best practices, demo powerful GKE-native security features, and provide a blueprint for building secure-by-default Kubernetes environments. Whether you're a developer, platform engineer, or cloud architect, you'll leave with practical strategies to level up your container security game on GKE.
