Cloud native environments are a double edged sword - used right, the benefits are immense. However, it also introduces multiple entry points for example security breaches. In this session, Nico will show how application vulnerabilities make it easy to hijack a Kubernetes cluster. He will also talk about why it's important to implement zero-trust to prevent data leaks and malicious workloads from being executed on a hijacked cluster. In addition, you will learn how GitLab can protect you from being hijacked. Nico will talk about how to create more secure applications by using Static Application Security Testing (SAST) as well as how to secure your Kubernetes cluster with Container Host Security, Container Network Security or a Web Application Firewall.
