Kubernetes Security: Harden Production Clusters
A default Kubernetes cluster is a flat network where every pod can talk to every other pod and half of them run as root. This course walks the distance between that default and a cluster you would be comfortable defending in an incident review.

What you will be able to do
- Design RBAC that actually constrains: roles, bindings, service accounts and the escalation paths people forget
- Enforce Pod Security Admission and replace deprecated PodSecurityPolicies without breaking workloads
- Segment east-west traffic with NetworkPolicy — default-deny first, then explicit allow
- Secure the software supply chain: image provenance, signing, admission control and registry hygiene
- Detect runtime attacks with Falco and turn its events into alerts your SOC can act on
- Manage secrets, etcd encryption and the control-plane surface that attackers reach for first
