Attack and Detect Kubernetes: Aerial Combat Training - Aviata Cloud Solo Flight Challenge Chapter 4

Thursday, 25 Jul 2024 10:00AM EDT (25 Jul 2024 14:00 UTC)
Speaker: Shaun McCullough

In the last chapter, the Aviata team built a Kubernetes cluster with running applications from the ground up. In this chapter, we will approach that Kubernetes cluster from the eyes of an attacker, identifying a vulnerability and hacking the platform. We will then look at the logging and telemetry that we can get from AWS's Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), which detects and investigates the attack.

Each monthly workshop in the series is independent of the others. There are no technical or educational dependencies from one to the others.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for cybersecurity professionals and cloud engineers ready to dive deep into Kubernetes security, this workshop offers hands-on experience in attacking and defending AWS's Elastic Kubernetes Service, enhancing your skills in vulnerability identification, logging, and investigation.

Learning Objectives

Understand the types of attacks against Kubernetes
Perform an attack against your live system
Understand how to set up and operate log collection for EKS
