Rootconf Mini 2024 (on 22nd & 23rd Nov)

Describe your talk/session in 2-3 paragraphs

In this talk, we’ll explore how can manage our Kubernetes security posture without breaking the bank. An enterprise-grade Kubernetes security posture management(KSPM) tool often comes with a hefty price tag, sometimes nearing a million dollars. For even well-funded startups, dedicating such a budget solely to security can be a challenge. However, there are powerful open-source solutions available that can help you achieve robust security—often surpassing the capabilities of expensive security posture management tools. This session will provide actionable insights on how to build and maintain a secure Kubernetes environment, empowering your team to focus on efficiency and security without compromising on quality.
