  • Implement pod to pod encryption by use of mTLS
  • Minimize base image footprint
  • Secure your supply chain: whitelist allowed registries, sign and validate images
  • Use static analysis of user workloads (e.g.Kubernetes resources, Docker files)
  • Scan images for known vulnerabilities
  • Perform behavioral analytics of syscall process and file activities at the host and container level to detect malicious activities
  • Detect threats within physical infrastructure, apps, networks, data, users and workloads
  • Detect all phases of attack regardless where it occurs and how it spreads

Certification: Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist

While attending training classes can be an important part of your preparation, attending class does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of success.
Exam format : The CKS – Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist exam is heavily focused on practical application, as it is a hands-on test of your ability to run commands to perform specific actions. There are no multiple-choice questions in this exam. You will be given access to a command line and will be required to perform various tasks.
Scores and Reporting : Official scores for exams come exclusively from Cloud Native Computing Foundation. CNCF does not authorize training partners to report results to candidates directly. Scores on the exam are usually reported within 3 U.S. business days.
Exam results are reported as section scores. CNCF does not report performance on individual items, nor will it provide additional information upon request.
Exam Duration: 3 hours.
