Ideal for: Security Engineer / Product Security Teams

With Organizations rapidly moving towards microservice style architecture for their applications, container technology seems to be taking over at a rapid rate. Leading container technologies like Docker have risen in popularity and have been widely used because they have helped package and deploy consistent-state applications.

Security continues to remain a key challenge that both Organizations and Security practitioners face with containerized deployments. While container orchestrated deployments may be vulnerable to security threats that plague any typical application deployments, they face specific security threats related to the containerization daemon, shared kernel, shared resources, secret management, insecure configurations, role management issues and many more!

This training has been created with the objective of understanding both offensive and defensive security for container orchestrated deployments. The program shall detail through specific theory elements with extensive hands-on exercises that are similar to real-world threat scenarios that the attendees shall understand and take part in and, shall also understand ways in which containerized deployments can be attacked and made secure, yet scalable, efficient and effective.

DEFENSE INDUSTRY

“Threat modeling is seriously underrated compared to other security activities that have more visible impact. Fact of the matter is, if you can anticipate and build around potential threats to your software, that’s going to make a much bigger difference than if you set up a million defenses after the fact. These courses taught me how to do that!”
