Why You Need Kubernetes Runtime Security

Discover the critical importance of Kubernetes runtime security in this 16-minute conference talk from the Cloud Native Summit. Explore why many administrators, despite understanding basic Kubernetes security principles, often overlook or underinvest in runtime security. Learn how the complexity of Kubernetes and its native security tools can lead teams to focus solely on cluster security, neglecting runtime protection. Gain insights into a "shield-right" approach for modern security programs, placing Kubernetes runtime security in proper context. Obtain an overview of open-source tools available for immediate implementation to safeguard against runtime threats. Delivered by Mike Coleman at the Cloud Native Summit in Wellington, New Zealand on September 5th, 2023, this talk aims to bridge the gap in Kubernetes security strategies and emphasize the necessity of comprehensive runtime protection.
