Kubernetes and Container Security for Cloud Native Teams

As African technology teams adopt containers and Kubernetes to modernise applications, new security gaps appear across images, clusters and runtime workloads. This course equips platform and security engineers to secure the full container lifecycle. Participants harden clusters, control workloads and detect threats using widely deployed cloud native tooling.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain container and Kubernetes architecture and where security risks arise.
  • Build and scan container images to remove vulnerabilities before deployment.
  • Harden cluster configuration and enforce role based access controls.
  • Apply network policies and workload isolation within clusters.
  • Manage secrets and sensitive configuration in containerised environments.
  • Detect and respond to threats affecting running container workloads.
