Speaker: Amiran Alavidze
Presentation: Securing Managed Kubernetes (1hr)

Abstract
It’s clear that Kubernetes has won the container orchestration wars and is here to stay. The complexity, flexibility and rapid development cycle of Kubernetes mean that Kubernetes security landscape varies significantly across deployments and is not well understood generally.

This talk focuses on security of managed cloud Kubernetes clusters, which provide a decently secure baseline that addresses the majority of recommendations you’ll find on the Internet. You’ll come out equipped with understanding of the Kubernetes threat model and actionable recommendations for securely running workloads in Kubernetes.

With over 15 years in information security in roles ranging from system engineering and security operations to governance, risk and compliance, Amiran is advocating a pragmatic, business-focused approach to security.
