Zero Trust Networking in Practice with a Service Mesh - Workshop

Participate in a hands-on workshop exploring zero trust networking implementation using a service mesh in Kubernetes environments. Learn the fundamentals of adopting a zero-trust approach to network security, covering encryption, authentication, and authorization of intra-cluster traffic. Explore PKI considerations and setup for in-cluster and cross-cluster mutual TLS, apply deny-by-default and principle of least privilege approaches to authorization, and understand the relationship between zero-trust and perimeter security. Gain insights into essential Kubernetes security elements required for effective service mesh implementation, including a basic threat model for Kubernetes clusters. While the workshop utilizes Linkerd, cert-manager, and Kyverno, the techniques presented are applicable across various projects, providing valuable knowledge for enhancing security in cloud-native environments.
